A case of pulmonary blastomycosis in a pediatric patient diagnosed by gastric lavage is described. Use of gastric lavage averted the need for more invasive diagnostic techniques including bronchoscopy. Further study is required to define the sensitivity of gastric lavage for recovery of Blastomyces dermatitidis from pediatric patients with pulmonary blastomycosis.
本文描述了一例经胃灌洗诊断的小儿肺芽生菌病病例。胃灌洗的应用避免了更具侵袭性的诊断技术,包括支气管镜检查。需要进一步研究来确定胃灌洗对小儿肺芽生菌病患者从芽生菌属皮肤感染中回收的敏感性。
