The case history describes a female patient diagnosed with the systemic amyloidosis including diffuse pulmonary affection as the cause of recurrent pleural exudation. Amyloidosis was diagnosed post mortem. The aim of this paper is to remind that recurrent fluidothorax of unclear etiology could be caused by less common diseases including for sure amyloidosis.
Key words: chylothorax, diffuse pulmonary amyloidosis, recurrent pleural exudates

The authors present two seemingly distinctive case histories of exogenous allergic alveollitis with the causative antigen as a common denominator. The source of the antigen was very uncommon. The identification of the antigen in the first case lead to the identification of the same cause in the second presented (formerly etiologically unexplained) case. In the case histories the authors would like to document the difficulty of trigger identification in some cases of exogenous allergic alveollitis.

Filling in the surgical treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis means the use of a foreign material to maintain a surgically created lung collapse. The original idea was to fill the cavity of extrapleural pneumothorax with a body’s own material (fat, muscle).
Body’s own tissues were not effective as suitable filling material because of their fast transformation, i.e. resorption and fibrosis. It resulted in the use of synthetic materials, for example polyvinyl ethanol, methacrylate (Lucite balls), and polyamide-perlon filling. Polyethylene, so called polystan filling was the most used in our country. We present a case of a patient who was repeatedly hospitalized for respiratory insufficiency caused by assumed expansion of the filling 49 years following surgery.
Key words: tuberculosis, polystan filling, dyspnoea

The paper presents the cause, clinical presentation and diagnosis of exogenous allergic alveollitis (EAA) and the possibility of its identification as an occupational disease. The paper includes a case history of a patient who died after 14 years of the professional EAA and lung transplantation at the age of 55 years because of respiratory insufficiency. The need of early and correct diagnosis and fast elimination of the risk of potential antigen is stressed.
Key words: exogenous allergic alveollitis, occupational disease
