A 62-year-old man with asthma sought care for intermittent fever, cough with expectoration, breathlessness and orthopnoea with grunting. Computed tomography revealed clusters of centrilobular nodules on both sides with a tree-in-bud appearance and mild diffuse bronchial wall thickening. Sputum sample grew pure colonies of which was confirmed by MALDI-TOF and 16SrRNA gene sequencing. A. ureae may be an additional bacteriologic causative agent of the tree-in-bud pattern on computed tomographic scan.
一名62岁的哮喘男性因间歇性发热、咳痰咳嗽、呼吸急促和端坐呼吸伴呼噜声前来就诊。计算机断层扫描显示双侧有小叶中心结节簇,呈树芽征,伴有轻度弥漫性支气管壁增厚。痰标本培养出纯菌落,经基质辅助激光解吸电离飞行时间质谱(MALDI-TOF)和16SrRNA基因测序证实。脲原体可能是计算机断层扫描上树芽征模式的另一种细菌病原体。
