Abstract

Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis has a range of manifestations from indolent nodules to semi-invasive infection. Patients may be asymptomatic or have chronic symptoms such as cough and weight loss or present with life-threatening haemoptysis. The physician can choose from a range of available therapies including medical therapy with antifungals, minimally invasive therapy with intracavitary antifungal therapy and surgery involving open thoracotomy or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The patients with the most severe forms of pulmonary infection may not be surgical candidates due to their underlying pulmonary condition. The management of haemoptysis can include tranexamic acid, bronchial artery embolisation, antifungals or surgery. There are few controlled studies to inform clinicians managing complex cases, so a multidisciplinary approach may be helpful.

慢性肺曲霉菌病临床治疗中的争议。
慢性肺曲霉菌病有一系列表现,从无症状结节到半浸润性感染。患者可能没有症状,或有咳嗽、体重减轻等慢性症状,或出现危及生命的咯血。医生可以选择一系列可用的疗法,包括使用抗真菌药物的内科疗法、使用腔内抗真菌疗法的微创疗法以及涉及开胸手术或视频辅助胸腔镜手术的外科疗法。肺部感染最严重的患者可能因其潜在的肺部疾病而不适合手术治疗。治疗咯血的方法包括氨甲环酸、支气管动脉栓塞、抗真菌药物或手术。很少有对照研究可为临床医生处理复杂病例提供参考,因此采用多学科方法可能会有所帮助。
