Abstract

Background: Bronchial anthracofibrosis is a common disease that has been reported in the past. We aim to summarize the clinical characteristics of bronchial anthracofibrosis combined with tuberculosis infection to reduce missed diagnosis.

Methods: The clinical features of two cases of bronchial anthracofibrosis combined with tuberculosis were analyzed retrospectively, and relevant studies were reviewed.

Results: The two patients were both elderly individuals who presented with chronic cough and expectoration. Pigmentation in the bronchus mucosa and stenosis of lumen were observed during bronchoscopy. Tuberculosis infection was confirmed by biopsy. The symptoms were remarkably relieved and no recurrence was found after anti-tuberculosis treatment.

Conclusion: Bronchial anthracofibrosis may be combined with tuberculosis. To avoid misdiagnosis, we should be aware of possible tuberculosis infection when patients are diagnosed with bronchial anthracofibrosis.

支气管炭疽性纤维化合并结核2例。

背景:支气管炭疽纤维化是一种常见病，过去已有报道。目的总结支气管炭疽性纤维化合并结核感染的临床特点，减少漏诊。方法:回顾性分析2例支气管炭疽性纤维化合并结核的临床特点，并对相关研究进行综述。结果:两例患者均为老年人，均表现为慢性咳嗽和咳痰。支气管镜观察支气管黏膜色素沉着及管腔狭窄。活检证实结核感染。经抗结核治疗后症状明显缓解，无复发。结论:支气管炭疽性纤维化可合并结核。为避免误诊，当患者被诊断为支气管炭疽纤维化时，我们应注意可能的结核感染。
