A 70 year old man presented with symptoms and laboratory findings suggestive of chlamydial pneumonia. Despite adequate antibiotic therapy, his condition did not improve and transbronchial biopsies disclosed a typical feature of bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP). After initiation of corticosteroid therapy, there were marked clinical and radiographic improvements. This report demonstrates that chlamydial infection may be associated with BOOP.
一名70岁男性出现了提示衣原体肺炎的症状和实验室检查结果。尽管接受了充分的抗生素治疗,但其病情并未改善,经支气管活检显示为闭塞性细支气管炎伴机化性肺炎(BOOP)的典型特征。开始使用皮质类固醇治疗后,临床和影像学表现均有显著改善。本报告表明衣原体感染可能与BOOP有关。
