Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) treatment in Africa remains unexplored. We present a 23-year-old Ugandan male, previously treated thrice for pulmonary tuberculosis, developing CPA. Imaging showed lung fibrosis, bronchiectasis, and a fungal ball. He received weekly 600mg (10mg/kg) of liposomal amphotericin B for six weeks, leading to marked clinical improvement. Weekly liposomal amphotericin B may be a viable treatment option for CPA in resource-limited settings.
非洲慢性肺曲霉病(CPA)的治疗仍未得到充分探索。我们报告一名23岁的乌干达男性,曾三次接受肺结核治疗,后来患上了CPA。影像学检查显示肺部纤维化、支气管扩张和真菌球。他接受了为期六周的每周一次600毫克(10毫克/千克)的脂质体两性霉素B治疗,临床症状有显著改善。在资源有限的环境中,每周使用脂质体两性霉素B可能是治疗CPA的一个可行选择。
