【摘要】 目的 探讨并分析导致肺曲霉病患者误诊的原因，为早期诊断并及时正确治疗提供科学的依据。 方法 回顾性分析2010年1-4月间确诊为肺曲霉病的3例患者在诊治过程中被误诊的原因。 结果 3例患者均缺乏明显的特异性临床表现和影像学表现，最后确诊均依据病理学活检证实。 结论 肺部的曲霉菌感染缺乏特异性的临床和影像学表现，及早行纤维支气管镜检查或肺组织活检可提高早期诊断率。【Abstract】 Objective To analyze the misdiagnostic causes of pulmonary aspergillosis. Methods The clinical data of three patients with pulmonary aspergillosis from January to April 2010 were retrospectively analyzed, and the misdiagnostic causes were analyzed. Result No specific clinical and imaging findings were found in the three patients, and pulmonary aspergillosis was finally diagnosed according to the pathological biopsy. Conclusion Pulmonary aspergillus lacks specific clinical and imaging manifestations; early fiberoptic bronchoscopy or pulmonary biopsy may improve the rate of accurate diagnosis.
曲霉在自然界中广泛分布，约20种曲霉能感染人类和动物，其中最常见的有烟曲霉、黄曲霉、土曲霉和黑曲霉等。曲霉孢子在空气中传播，人吸入后曲霉可以在气道内定植、致敏、感染，当人体免疫功能低下时可产生危及生命的侵袭性肺曲霉病（IPA）。近年来IPA发病率呈上升趋势，已成为仅次于念珠菌病的主要肺部真菌感染性疾病[1]。虽然IPA已成为器官移植受者、恶性血液病和恶性肿瘤患者等高危人群的重要死因，但对其发病机制了解甚少。本文着重论述近年来IPA发病机制的研究进展。
Objective To analyse the clinical characteristics of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA). Methods The clinical data of 26 patients diagnosed as ABPA from September 2016 to February 2018 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were retrospectively analyzed. Results Among 26 patients with ABPA, 15 were female, 11 were male, with a mean age of (47.6±11.7) years. Before the diagnosis of ABPA, 13 cases had been misdiagnosed as bronchial asthma, 8 as bronchiectasis, 8 as pulmonary infection, 3 as tuberculosis. All patients had cough, sputum production, wheeze in 2, fever in 5, hemoptysis in 4, chest pain in 4, dyspnea in 2. The wheezing sound were heard in 20 patients and wet rales were heard in 4 cases. All patients had increased total IgE level ［median 5 000 (654 – 5 337)IU/ml］. The eosinophil counts were increased in 23 patients ［median 0.99 (0.50 – 3.69)×109/L］ and percentages of peripheral blood eosinophil were elevated to (0.36±0.10). Skin prink test was positive in 10 cases. All patients had increased Aspergillus fumigatus specific IgE ［median 15.1 (0.4 – 29.6)kU/L). Chest X-ray showed fleeting consolidation. Chest CT showed multiple pachy, central cylindrical bronchiectasis, mucous plugging, band linear or glover-finger opacities. Sixteen cases underwent bronchoscopy, out of them 5 cases underwent transbronchial lung biopsy, 2 cases underwent CT guided percutaneous lung biopsy. Fourteen cases were treated with oral corticosteroids combined with antifungal therapy. Conclusions ABPA is a relatively rare and without specific clinical manifestations. In the early period, it is mostly misdiagnosed as bronchial asthma, so it is necessary to improve the early diagosis of ABPA and give appropriate treatment. Regular follow-up should be made to prevent the recurrence.
Objective To analyze the risk factors of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) in patients with interstitial pneumonia. Methods The clinical data of 770 cases of interstitial pneumonia admitted between December 2010 and August 2015 were collected. Among them, 46 cases were combined with IPA and 724 cases were not ombined with IPA. The clinical data was analyzed to explore the risk factors of IPA in patients with interstitial pneumonia. Results Univariate analysis showed that in the aspects of age (t=3.348, P=0.001), serum albumin level (t=8.381, P < 001), broad-spectrum antibiotic used within 3 months (χ2=87.157, P < 001), long-term administration of glucocorticoid (χ2=57.462, P < 001), long-term administration of immunosuppressive agents (χ2=31.715, P < 001), imaging in UIP type (χ2=20.632, P < 001), diabetes mellitus (χ2=9.737, P=0.002) and heart failure (χ2=9.300, P=0.002), there were significant differences between two groups. After multivariate logistic regression analysis, broad-spectrum antibiotic used within 3 months (OR=4.773, P < 001), long-term administration of glucocorticoid (OR=9.195, P < 001), long-term administration of immunosuppressive agents (OR=2.662, P=0.046), imaging in UIP type (OR=5.725, P < 001), and diabetes mellitus (OR=3.847, P=0.003) were found to be the risk factors of IPA in patients with interstitial pneumonia. Serum albumin level was negatively correlated with the occurrence of IPA in patients with interstitial pneumonia. Conclusions Various factors contribute to the occurrence of IPA in patients with interstitial pneumonia. Miscellaneous appropriate measures should be taken to reduce the incidence of IPA.
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatments of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA). MethodsThe clinical data of four cases of ABPA diagnosed in our department between 2009 and 2014 were analyzed. The related literature was also reviewed. ResultsABPA tends to occur in people with chronic lung diseases, such as asthma and cystic fibrosis. The main clinical manifestations are wheezing, fever, cough, and sputum production. Laboratory examinations include immediate Aspergillus skin test reactivity, elevated total serum IgE and Aspergillus specific IgE and IgG antibodies, and peripheral blood eosinophilia. Radiological findings include recurrent chest roentgenographic infiltrates and central bronchiectasis. Treatments involve corticosteroids and antifungal therapy with itraconazole. ConclusionsABPA is easy to misdiagnosis clinically. It should be considered in patients with poor controlled asthma and asthmatic patients with acute pulmonary infiltrates. Early diagnosis and proper treatment can minimize lung injury from ABPA and improve outcomes.
