The aim of this study was to compare the high-resolution computed tomographic findings between Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) and chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP).
We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of 16 patients with CSS and 34 patients with CEP.
Twelve (35%) of the 34 patients with CEP had a history of asthma. Although the subpleural distribution of ground-glass opacities (GGOs) and consolidation was common both in CSS and CEP, the midzone distribution was more frequent in CSS (44%) than in CEP (12%). Centrilobular nodules within GGOs were significantly more frequent in CSS (56%) than in CEP (18%). In contrast, traction bronchiectasis associated with volume loss was demonstrated more frequently in CEP (74%) than in CSS (25%).
On high-resolution computed tomography, the presence of the midzone distribution and nodules within GGOs without traction bronchiectasis suggests CSS rather than CEP.
本研究旨在比较变应性肉芽肿性血管炎(CSS)和慢性嗜酸性粒细胞性肺炎(CEP)的高分辨率计算机断层扫描结果。
我们回顾性分析了16例CSS患者和34例CEP患者的临床记录。
34例CEP患者中有12例(35%)有哮喘病史。虽然磨玻璃影(GGOs)和实变的胸膜下分布在CSS和CEP中都很常见,但中区分布在CSS(44%)中比在CEP(12%)中更常见。GGOs内的小叶中心结节在CSS(56%)中比在CEP(18%)中明显更常见。相反,与体积缩小相关的牵拉性支气管扩张在CEP(74%)中比在CSS(25%)中更常见。
在高分辨率计算机断层扫描上,中区分布以及GGOs内无牵拉性支气管扩张的结节提示为CSS而非CEP。
