We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA) elevation due to influenza B infection. A 78-year-old male had undergone right middle lobectomy and lymphadenectomy for lung squamous cell carcinoma two years and four months previously. His SCCA level ranged from 0.8 ng/mL to 1.9 ng/mL after the surgery. He underwent blood testing, including SCCA, as part of a regular check-up three days after the diagnosis of the influenza B infection. His SCCA level was 17.1 ng/mL; no recurrences were found on computed tomography. One month later, his SCCA level had decreased to 1.6 ng/mL. We should keep in mind that influenza infection may cause transient elevations in SCCA levels.
我们报告一例因乙型流感感染导致鳞状细胞癌抗原（SCCA）升高的病例。一名78岁男性在两年零四个月前因肺鳞状细胞癌接受了右肺中叶切除术和淋巴结清扫术。术后他的SCCA水平在0.8 ng/mL至1.9 ng/mL之间。在诊断出乙型流感感染三天后，他接受了包括SCCA在内的血液检查。他的SCCA水平为17.1 ng/mL；计算机断层扫描未发现复发。一个月后，他的SCCA水平降至1.6 ng/mL。我们应该记住，流感感染可能会导致SCCA水平短暂升高。
