The management of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) has improved significantly in recent years due to advances in the understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of the disease, the development of innovative medications and the use of more aggressive therapeutic strategies. Because PAH is a rare disease, it must be managed in a pulmonary hypertension (PH) expert center. PAH management combines general measures, symptomatic treatments and «specific» therapies targeting the vasoconstriction/vasodilation and pro-proliferation/anti-proliferation balance of the pulmonary arteries. Despite major therapeutic advances in recent years, the prognosis for PAH remains poor and lung transplantation (or cardiopulmonary) transplantation is currently the only curative treatment available for the most severe patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":94123,"journal":{"name":"La Revue du praticien","volume":"75 1","pages":"43-49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144236248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension is often delayed due to the low specificity of clinical signs, dominated by exertional dyspnea. The European recommendations of the learned societies of pneumology and cardiology, published in 2022, have specified the diagnostic algorithm. The diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension is based on a 3-stage approach. The first stage, «suspicion», is mainly based on the symptoms and clinical signs presented by the patient. The second stage \"detection\" is based on screening paraclinical examinations such as cardiac ultrasound, which enable the diagnostic suspicion to be ruled out or reinforced. Finally, if the ultrasound probability of pulmonary hypertension is high, the third stage aims to confirm the diagnosis by means of right heart catheterization.</p>","PeriodicalId":94123,"journal":{"name":"La Revue du praticien","volume":"75 1","pages":"36-42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144236265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Atypical bacterial pneumonias are caused by several pathogens including Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae, Legionella pneumophila, Chlamydia psittaci, Coxiella burnetii, and Francisella tularensis. Their clinical, biological, and radiological presentation is often nonspecific, and can be challenging to differentiate from the - typical - presentation of acute lobar pneumonia. As a result, diagnostic and therapeutic management are complex, as the pathogens involved are often not detected by classic microbiological techniques, and are resistant to beta-lactams. Therefore, clinicians must be adept at considering the diagnosis to provide appropriate treatment, typically involving antibiotics such as macrolides, tetracyclines, or fluoroquinolones. Furthermore, in certain instances, confirmation of the diagnosis using specific tests such as PCR (polymerase chain reaction), urinary antigen test, or serologies is essential for improving the management of atypical bacterial pneumonia.</p>","PeriodicalId":94123,"journal":{"name":"La Revue du praticien","volume":"75 1","pages":"80-84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144236249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
