Pulmonary Histoplasmosis in an Immunocompetent Man

在一個免疫力正常男性身上發現的肺組織漿菌病

摘要


在台灣組織漿菌病是非常罕見的,在本土的雜誌中也僅有極少數的病例被報告過。我們在此報告一個最後被診斷為肺組織漿菌病的37歲男性,該病人除了是緬甸移民之外,並沒有其他已知的危險因子,例如AIDS或免疫抑制劑的使用等。由於這樣的肺組織漿菌病其治療效果仍未定,該病人決定不接受抗黴菌藥物治療,這也剛好提供了一個絕佳的機會,讓我們觀察未經治療的肺組織漿菌病其病程進展。再者,這病例也提醒了臨床醫師當疾病的臨床病程或治療不如預期發展時,永遠要想到其他可能的診斷。

並列摘要


Histoplasmosis is rarely seen in Taiwan and only a limited number of cases have been reported locally. We reported a 37-year-old man, a Myanmar immigrant, with established pulmonary histoplasmosis. No known risk factors, such as AIDS or immunosuppressive therapy, were identified. The patient willingly refused antifungal therapy of uncertain efficacy, which provided the opportunity to observe the evolution of untreated pulmonary histoplasmosis. Furthermore, this case serves as a reminder for clinicians to always consider alternative diagnoses when the clinical course of a disease does not evolve as expected.
