Organizing pneumonia (OP) is a nonspecific response to various forms of lung injury and has been reported in association with several infectious agents. However, little is known about the relationship between OP and chronic pulmonary aspergillosis, and the mechanism of this linkage has not been elucidated. Here, we present a case of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis that led to the development of OP, which was successfully treated with corticosteroid and surgical intervention. In a review of the literature, we aim to highlight the possible relationship between OP and chronic pulmonary aspergillosis.
机化性肺炎(OP)是对各种形式肺损伤的一种非特异性反应,并且已有报道称其与多种感染因子有关。然而,关于OP与慢性肺曲霉病之间的关系知之甚少,这种关联的机制也尚未阐明。在此,我们报告一例导致OP发生的慢性肺曲霉病病例,该病例通过皮质类固醇和手术干预成功治愈。在文献综述中,我们旨在强调OP与慢性肺曲霉病之间可能存在的关系。
