Clinical analysis of 103 cases of inpatients with fungal infections in the lungs
treatment and prognosis of fungal infection in the lungs.Methods:The data of 103 patients suffering from fungal infection in the lungs were analyzed retrospectively.Results:There were ninety percent(91/103) of patients with underlying diseases
mainly chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) and chronic cor pulmonale.68(66.02%) patients suffered from two or more than two kinds of underlying diseases.Type 2 diabetes also took an important position in all underlying diseases.Clinical manifestations of pulmonary fungal infection showed no specificity.X-ray appearance showed that bronchopneumonitis was predominated(60%).The fungal culture results showed that blastocystis was the major pathogenic fungus
including 73(70.8%)strains of Candida albicans
11(10.7%) strains of Candida tropicalis
10(9.7%) strains of Torulopsis glabrata
6(5.8%) strains of aspergilli and 3(2.9%)trains of mold fungus
and early diagnosis of this disease remained difficult.The results of sputum cultuer showed that 48(46.6%) patients suffered from pumomary fungal infection combined with other bacterial infections
such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Acinetobacteria
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA)
Escherichia coli and so on.The mortality of pulmonary fungal infection in this group was high(21.36%).6 patients died from uncontrolled fungal infections in the lungs and other16 patients died from mutiple organ failure due to delayed antifungeal therapy.Conclusions:Pulmonary fungal infection with few specific clinical manifestations and high mortality was an important cause of secondary infections in the patients suffering from many kinds of diseases
