Pulmonary Coccidioidomycosis Diagnosed after Thoracoscopic Lobectomy-Case Report and Literature Review

胸腔鏡肺葉切除手術診斷肺部球胞子菌感染-一病例報告及文獻回顧

摘要


球胞子菌是美國西南部沙漠特有之地區性黴菌。所有在台灣報告之球胞子菌感染皆有疫區的旅遊使。我們報告一個60歲女性因右肺中葉實質化,痰液及支氣管鏡檢查之細菌培養查皆無發現且對完整的經驗性抗生素治療無明顯效果。病人最後接受影像胸腔鏡肺葉切除手術並由病理診斷為球胞子菌感染。據我們所知,這是台灣第一位由影像胸腔鏡肺葉切除手術診斷為肺球胞子菌感染之病例。

並列摘要


Coccidioides spp. is endemic to certain lower deserts in western regions of the United States of America. All patients with coccioidomycosis reported in Taiwan have had a history of travel to endemic areas. In this report, we describe the case of a 60-year-old woman who presented with right middle lobe consolidation that was not responsive to empiric antibiotic treatment. Laboratory examinations of sputum and bronchial washing specimens failed to reveal any microbiological pathogens. She underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy of the right middle lobe, and the pathology confirmed the diagnosis of coccidioidomycosis. To our knowledge, this is the first case of pulmonary coccidioidomycosis diagnosed after thoracoscopic lobectomy in Taiwan.
