Abstract

Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) is a progressive and destructive disease of the lung parenchyma. We report a 9-year-old boy diagnosed with CPA with a positive Aspergillus IgG and chest imaging of cavitary lung lesions. He was treated with oral Itraconazole with significant improvement. This shows that an index of suspicion should be heightened in the paediatric population with cavitary lung lesions because not all cavitary lung lesions are caused by tuberculosis.

摘要

慢性肺曲霉病（CPA）是一种累及肺实质的进行性破坏性疾病。我们报告了一名9岁男孩，诊断为CPA，曲霉IgG阳性，胸部影像学显示有空洞性肺部病变。他接受了口服伊曲康唑治疗，病情有显著改善。这表明，对于有空洞性肺部病变的儿科患者，应提高警惕，因为并非所有空洞性肺部病变都是由结核病引起的。
