Re-expansion pulmonary edema (RPE) is a rare complication that may occur after treatment of lung collapse caused by pneumothorax, atelectasis, or pleural effusion. The amount of fluid drained and the degree of pleural suction influence the development of RPE. We present a case of RPE in a critically ill patient of scrub typhus with rheumatic heart disease, after draining only 800 mL of pleural fluid, thereby proving that the complex cardiac and pulmonary interactions play an important role in the development of RPE.

复张性肺水肿（RPE）是一种罕见的并发症，可能发生在气胸、肺不张或胸腔积液所致肺萎陷的治疗后。引流出的液体量和胸腔吸引程度会影响复张性肺水肿的发生。我们报告一例患恙虫病合并风湿性心脏病的重症患者，仅引流出800 mL胸腔积液后发生了复张性肺水肿，从而证明心脏和肺之间复杂的相互作用在复张性肺水肿的发生中起重要作用。Khanoria R, Chauhan R, Sarna R, Bloria S.复张性肺水肿——一种罕见情况：肺与心脏失代偿之间的微妙界限。《印度重症监护医学杂志》2021年；25(3):343 - 345。
