Weil disease: importance of imaging findings for early diagnosis.
Weil disease is a rare and severe outcome of infection with leptospires. We report the radiographic appearance of this disease in a patient with hepatic, renal, and pulmonary involvement. Imaging findings added significantly to an early correct diagnosis and, thus, to immediate and successful therapy in this critically ill patient.

Blood clots mimicking peripheral intrabronchial tumors in patients with hemoptysis: CT and bronchoscopic findings.
We report radiographic and clinical findings in two cigarette-smoking patients presenting with hemoptysis. On CT, both patients had peripheral intrabronchial masses together with parenchymal opacities. Bronchoscopy revealed the intrabronchial masses to be blood clots and the parenchymal opacities to correspond to areas of parenchymal hemorrhage. Our cases are novel in that both bronchial and parenchymal sequelae of hemorrhage were simultaneously visualized by CT. Also, our findings suggest that bronchial blood clots should be included in the differential diagnosis of peripheral intrabronchial lesions, notably in patients presenting with hemoptysis.
