The rare presentation of nocardial infection as an endobronchial "tumour" is reported. Haematogenous dissemination occurred after fibreoptic bronchoscopy and biopsy, a phenomenon not previously described in nocardial infections. This case highlights the difficulties in diagnosing pulmonary nocardial infection and the potential for invasive procedures to disseminate the disease.
据报道,诺卡菌感染罕见地表现为支气管内“肿瘤”。纤维支气管镜检查和活检后发生了血行播散,这是诺卡菌感染中以前未描述过的现象。该病例突出了诊断肺部诺卡菌感染的困难以及侵入性操作导致疾病播散的可能性。
