() infection is uncommon in clinical practice. Pulmonary sequestration complicated with has not been reported in the literature. Here, we present a case of pulmonary se-questration complicated with infection in an immunocom-petent woman.
A 37-year-old woman complaining of a recurrent cough was admitted to our hospital. Pulmonary sequestration in the lower lobe of the left lung was diagnosed by enhanced computed tomography. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was then collected, which showed gram positive bacilli with weakly positive modified acid-fast staining. The pathogen was identified as after bacterial culture and mass spectrometry analysis. The patient was diagnosed with pulmonary sequestration complicated with infection, and her symptoms quickly improved following anti-infective therapy.
Nocardiosis is considered to be an opportunistic infection. This is the first report of pulmonary sequestration complicated with infection in a patient with normal immunity.
()感染在临床实践中并不常见。文献中尚未报道肺隔离症合并()感染的情况。在此,我们报告一例免疫功能正常的女性发生肺隔离症合并()感染的病例。
一名37岁反复咳嗽的女性入住我院。通过增强计算机断层扫描诊断为左肺下叶肺隔离症。随后收集支气管肺泡灌洗液,显示革兰氏阳性杆菌,改良抗酸染色弱阳性。经细菌培养和质谱分析,病原体被鉴定为()。该患者被诊断为肺隔离症合并()感染,抗感染治疗后症状迅速改善。
诺卡菌病被认为是一种机会性感染。这是首例免疫功能正常患者发生肺隔离症合并()感染的报告。
