The role of flexible fiberoptic bronchoendoscopic (FOB) examination was evaluated in a retrospective analysis in 155 patients with unexplained haemoptysis and normal chest skiagrams. The procedure was helpful in reaching a specific diagnosis in 11 (7.1%) patients, 4 of whom revealed mycobacteria in bronchial secretions and 7 had neoplastic lesions. In another 68 (43.9%) cases only non-specific findings like inflammation were found, but the site of abnormality could be localized. We recommend the use of FOB in the routine assessment of haemoptysis.
对155例不明原因咯血且胸部X线平片正常的患者进行回顾性分析,评估了可弯曲纤维支气管镜(FOB)检查的作用。该检查有助于11例(7.1%)患者明确诊断,其中4例在支气管分泌物中发现分枝杆菌,7例有肿瘤性病变。在另外68例(43.9%)病例中,仅发现炎症等非特异性表现,但可定位异常部位。我们建议在咯血的常规评估中使用FOB。
