A 51 year-old Aboriginal woman was diagnosed with H1N1 influenza virus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Contrasted CT of the pulmonary and bronchial vasculature undertaken for investigation for of haemoptysis revealed an 11 mm left upper lobe pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm (PAP). The PAP was successfully treated with angioembolisation of the parent artery with two platinum coils. Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysms are uncommon but potentially life-threatening and have not previously been reported in association with H1N1 influenza viral pneumonia, which has been prominent in recent times in both medical literature and popular press.
一位 51 岁的土著妇女被诊断出患有 H1N1 流感病毒和耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌。为了明确咯血的病因,对其进行了肺部和支气管血管的 CT 对比检查,结果显示左肺上叶肺动脉 11 毫米假性动脉瘤(PAP)。通过对主血管进行血管栓塞治疗,使用两个铂金线圈成功治疗了 PAP。肺动脉假性动脉瘤并不常见,但有潜在的致命危险,以前从未有报道称其与 H1N1 流感病毒性肺炎有关,而这种肺炎在最近的医学文献和大众媒体中都很突出。
