摘要

乳糜胸中含有大量免疫球蛋白和白细胞，因此认为不可能发生胸膜叠加感染。我们报告了两例经生化证实由肝硬化引起的乳糜胸，在反复胸膜介入治疗后并发了叠加性胸膜感染。这些发现凸显了乳糜胸叠加感染的可能性，并对认为乳糜具有抑菌作用的观点提出了质疑。如果在治疗乳糜胸期间出现感染特征，临床上必须提高警惕，考虑这种可能性。

Superimposed pleural infection in cirrhotic chylothorax.

Chylothorax contains an abundant amount of immunoglobulins and white blood cells, leading to the belief that superimposed pleural infection is unlikely. We report two cases of biochemically confirmed chylothorax due to cirrhosis, complicated by superimposed pleural infection following repeated pleural interventions. These findings highlight the potential for superimposed infection in chylothorax and challenge the belief in the bacteriostatic effect of chyle. Clinical vigilance is essential to consider this possibility if features of infection arise during the management of chylothorax.
