The introduction of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) brought about significant advancement in the field of bronchoscopy. The major indications for EBUS-TBNA are lung cancer staging and diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy. This procedure is minimally invasive and cost saving, and no complications have been described in large-scale studies. In this report, we present a case of empyema, lung abscess, and mediastinal abscess that developed in a patient undergoing EBUS-TBNA; the patient subsequently recovered uneventfully after aggressive surgical debridement and antimicrobial therapy.
经支气管超声内镜引导下经支气管针吸活检术（EBUS-TBNA）的引入，使支气管镜技术领域取得了重大进展。EBUS-TBNA 的主要适应证为肺癌分期和纵隔淋巴结肿大的诊断。该操作微创且节省成本，在大规模研究中并未描述相关并发症。在本报告中，我们介绍了一例在接受 EBUS-TBNA 后发生脓胸、肺脓肿和纵隔脓肿的患者，该患者在积极的手术清创和抗菌治疗后顺利康复。
