Over the past decade, there has been an increasing number of case reports of bronchopulmonary infection due to Lophomonas spp. The Caribbean has not been included in any reports. We describe two cases of bronchopulmonary infection due to spp. We also describe successful treatment with metronidazole and an alternative, albendazole. We also briefly review the controversy of spp. as a true pathogen and the population groups affected.
在过去十年中，因嗜肺滴虫属（Lophomonas spp.）导致支气管肺部感染的病例报告数量不断增加。加勒比地区尚未被纳入任何此类报告。我们描述了两例由嗜肺滴虫属导致的支气管肺部感染病例。我们还描述了使用甲硝唑及另一种药物阿苯达唑进行成功治疗的情况。我们还简要回顾了关于嗜肺滴虫属作为真正病原体以及受影响人群组的争议。
