A 52-year-old man was referred to our hospital for cough, fever, chest pain, and progressive dyspnea. He has worked as a full-time security staff at a community center and was in a normal state of health until 11 months prior to referral when he began experiencing cough, expectoration, a high-grade fever (up to 39.7°C), chills, and left chest pain. He visited the local hospital several times with suspected lung cancer. Bronchoscopy showed chronic inflammatory changes in his bronchi. He was given a course of antibiotics, but his fever had not subsided. The patient had visited a bamboo rat farm and consumed bamboo rat meat one year previously. He had never smoked.
一位 52 岁男性因咳嗽、发热、胸痛和进行性呼吸困难到我院就诊。他一直在社区中心担任全职保安,健康状况良好,直至 11 个月前开始出现咳嗽、咳痰、高热(高达 39.7°C)、寒战和左侧胸痛。他曾多次因疑似肺癌到当地医院就诊。支气管镜检查显示其支气管存在慢性炎症改变。他接受了抗生素治疗,但发热仍未消退。患者一年前曾参观过竹鼠养殖场并食用过竹鼠肉,他从不吸烟。
