Organizing pneumonia (OP) is an inflammatory lung disease characterized pathologically by the presence of buds of granulation tissue in the distal air spaces. There are numerous causes of OP including acute respiratory infections such as viral and bacterial infections. However, () has rarely been reported as a causative pathogen of OP. Here, we report a 67-year-old woman with rapidly progressive pulmonary infection who developed OP and acute respiratory failure (ARF). She was treated successfully with a corticosteroid and anti-mycobacterial therapy. Our observations suggest that pulmonary infection should be added to the list of infectious conditions associated with OP.
机化性肺炎（OP）是一种炎症性肺部疾病，其病理特征为远端气腔内存在肉芽组织芽。OP有多种病因，包括病毒和细菌感染等急性呼吸道感染。然而，（）作为OP的致病病原体鲜有报道。在此，我们报告一名67岁女性，她患有快速进展性肺部感染，并发OP和急性呼吸衰竭（ARF）。她接受了皮质类固醇和抗分枝杆菌治疗，治疗成功。我们的观察结果表明，肺部感染应被列入与OP相关的感染性疾病清单。
