This report describes the development of fatal pneumococcal pneumonia and septicemia following fiberoptic bronchoscopic examination and endobronchial biopsy of a patient with severe chronic congestive heart failure. Although a causal relationship has not been proven, the temporal sequence seems to favor this over a coincidental nosocomial infection. This case emphasizes that significant and occasionally fatal infectious complications may occur following fiberoptic bronchoscopic examination.
本报告描述了一名患有严重慢性充血性心力衰竭的患者在进行纤维支气管镜检查和支气管内活检后发生致命性肺炎球菌肺炎和败血症的情况。尽管尚未证实因果关系，但时间顺序似乎更倾向于这种情况是由检查导致而非医院获得性感染巧合所致。该病例强调了纤维支气管镜检查后可能会出现严重且偶尔致命的感染并发症。
