We report here a mediastinal infectious complication after endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) that was successfully treated using intravenous antibiotic therapy. EBUS-TBNA was performed for a 59-year old man with mediastinal adenopathy 8 years after left pneumonectomy for squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. A single-needle pass produced an adequate cytology and histology sample, and the lesion was diagnosed as small-cell lung cancer. The procedure itself was uneventful, but the patient developed a nightly fever after the biopsy. Finally, he was readmitted, and intravenous antibiotic therapy was required for 4 weeks to treat a mediastinal infection after EBUS-TBNA before chemotherapy for small-cell lung cancer.
我们在此报告1例经支气管超声引导下经支气管针吸活检术(EBUS-TBNA)后发生的纵隔感染并发症,该并发症通过静脉抗生素治疗成功治愈。1名59岁男性因肺鳞状细胞癌行左肺切除术后8年,因纵隔淋巴结肿大接受EBUS-TBNA检查。单次穿刺获得了足够的细胞学和组织学样本,病变被诊断为小细胞肺癌。操作过程本身顺利,但患者在活检后出现夜间发热。最后,患者再次入院,在接受小细胞肺癌化疗前,因EBUS-TBNA术后纵隔感染接受了4周的静脉抗生素治疗。
