The use of endoscopic ultrasound in staging non-small cell lung cancer is well known. Its role in diagnosing non-malignant conditions that cause mediastinal adenopathy is still not well established. We diagnosed Coccidioides immitis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis in two patients using endoscopic ultrasound. To our knowledge this is the first case of Coccidioidomycosis to be diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound.
内镜超声在非小细胞肺癌分期中的应用已广为人知。其在诊断导致纵隔淋巴结肿大的非恶性疾病中的作用仍未完全明确。我们通过内镜超声诊断了两名患者的粗球孢子菌和结核分枝杆菌。据我们所知，这是首例通过内镜超声诊断的球孢子菌病。
