SARS流行期间肺炎患者的临床表现和胸部影像变化的探讨

目的 探讨SARS流行期间肺炎患者的临床表现和胸部影像变化特点。方法 对76例SARS流行期间发热留观室收治的肺炎患者的临床表现及胸部影像进行分析。结果 (1)此组肺炎患者多为青壮年(占60．53％)，无固定职业或职业性质流动性较大者居多(69．74％)；(2)临床特征主要是发热，以中高热为多见(80．26％)，发病早期部分患者呼吸道症状并不明显(67．10％)，外周血WBC在正常或低于正常范围(85．53％)，淋巴细胞比例减少(75．00％)；(3)肺部CT表现为不同程度的炎性浸润；病灶形态以斑片状和球形多见(77．63％)；病灶常位于肺周边，常出现支气管气像；动态观察病变影像大多无明显进展(88．16％％)，经治疗均完全吸收。结论 SARS流行期间普通肺炎与非典型肺炎有相似的临床及胸部影像表现；肺部CT扫描能早期发现肺炎患者的异常阴影，明显优于胸片，但无特异性。因此，在SARS流行期间发热诊室医务人员应加强肺部炎性改变的早期诊断和鉴别诊断水平。     

某区医院发热伴呼吸道症状病人临床分析

目的：探讨常见呼吸道发热疾病的临床特点及与传染性非典型肺炎(严重急性呼吸综合症，SAGS)的鉴别。方法：发热门诊诊治的以发热体温高于38℃伴呼吸道症状患者702例，对病因、临床表现、实验室检查、胸部X线、治疗及转归进行比较。结果：常见呼吸道发热患者中，急性上呼吸道感染596例占总数的85％，577病例白细胞计数不高占82％，淋巴细胞计数不降低，X线检查正常或仅有支气管炎表现。有基础肺部或全身疾病患者，虽然有发热，但往往以肺部或全身原发疾病相应症状为重要或首发表现，可有气急，体温以中度发热为主，78％病例有白细胞计数及中性比例升高。胸片除肺炎改变外，多有肺部基础疾病的表现，抗生素治疗有效；而单纯性肺炎胸部X线多表现为节段性或局灶性肺炎。这部分病例也以发热为主要或首发症状，一般表现为咳嗽、咳痰，气急少见，易与SARS混淆。结论：临床呼吸道发热疾病以急性上呼吸道感染最多见，容易忽略，要注意筛查。单纯性肺炎与SARS的鉴别，应结合流行病史、治疗反应及实验室检查结果进行。     

传染性非典型肺炎患者泪液和血液中特异性抗体检测的对比研究

目的：通过传染性非典型肺炎(SARS)患者泪液病毒特异性抗体的检测，寻找SARS病毒是否通过泪液或眼结膜传播的理论依据，了解泪液和血液中SARS病毒特异性抗体检测结果的一致性程度。方法：用酶联免疫吸附法(ELISA)检测18例不同病程的SARS患者泪波及血清SARS病毒特异性抗体。结果：18例SARS患者泪液中的特异性IgM类和IgG类抗体均为阴性，而同组患者有13例其血液中的特异性IgM类和IgG类抗体呈阳性。结论：SARS病毒可能不通过泪液或结膜传播。     

Clinical features fail to distinguish respiratory infections caused by Branhamella catarrhalis from those caused by Haemophilus influenzae

Branhamella catarrhalis is being isolated with increasing frequency from patients with symptoms and signs of respiratory tract infection. Records of 77 patients were reviewed to define the spectrum of respiratory illness and to compare clinical and laboratory features with those of respiratory infection due to Haemophilus influenzae. Both B catarrhalis and H influenzae caused respiratory infection predominantly in elderly males with underlying heart or lung disease. There were no clinical or laboratory features aside from sputum Gram stain and culture which differentiated the two groups. Although fewer than one-half of each group received antibiotics, no patient developed progressive respiratory disease.     

鱼腥草止咳口服液治疗难治性肺炎的临床观察

目的:观察鱼腥草止咳口服液对难治性肺炎患者的临床疗效,并探讨其作用机理。方法:65例患者随机分成两组,治疗组35例,对照组30例。对照组采用西医常规治疗,治疗组在同对照组治疗基础上加用鱼腥草止咳口服液口服,观察两组患者症状及体征的改善情况,并检测治疗前后外周血IL-2和TNF-α的变化。结果:治疗后总有效率:治疗组为94.3%,对照组为83.3%,组间比较有显著性差异(P<0.05);治疗组在增加外周血IL-2及降低TNF-α水平方面明显优于对照组。结论:鱼腥草止咳口服液治疗难治性肺炎具有显著疗效,尤其在镇咳、平喘、抗炎、退热及促进排痰、肺部啰音和炎症消失、毒副作用等方面具有明显优势。

床边纤维支气管镜检查在可疑院内获得性肺炎诊断中的意义

目的评价床边纤维支气管镜检查在可疑院内获得性肺炎诊断中的意义。方法对25例可疑院内获得性肺炎患者进行床边纤维支气管镜检查，同时进行痰标本和支气管肺泡灌洗液标本涂片细菌检测和培养。结果1例为肺出血，2例肺不张，1例肺水肿；21例为院内获得性肺炎，其中14例(72．7％)细菌培养阳性，革兰阴性杆菌占57．1％(12／21)，以铜绿假单胞菌、不动杆菌属、嗜麦芽假单胞菌、肺炎克雷伯菌最常见，革兰阳性球菌2例(9．5％)，主要是耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌。痰涂片和支气管肺泡灌洗液涂片阳性者分别为3例和10例。支气管肺泡灌洗液细菌涂片阳性率和细菌培养阳性率均高于痰标本(P=0．02和P=0．005)。结论床边纤维支气管镜检查有助除外疑似院内获得性肺炎的非感染性疾病。支气管肺泡灌洗液标本病原学检测优于痰标本。     

Pneumonien bei akuten Leukämien

Summary Acute leukaemia was complicated by pneumonia in 38 (34.8%) of 109 patients treated between 1979 and 1983; in 39.5% of the patients pneumonia occurred more than once. In 23 patients (60.5%) pneumonia occurred during cytostatic therapy, and 25 patients (65.8%) had less than 1000 mm² granulocytes. Antibiotic therapy had no or only little effect in 70%. A total of 21 patients (55.3%) died of pneumonia. In 15 patients a direct relationship could be seen between pneumonia and the bacterial spectrum in the sputum. A prevalence of gram-negative bacteria was found (24 of 40 bacteria isolated, especially Enterobacteriaceae (19). Fungi were cultivated in 10 cases. Each of the typical pneumonia bacteria was only seen once respectively. It is most important that therapy begin immediately, even before the bacteria have been identified. Only then is there hope that the survival time of patients with acute leukaemia can be influenced.

Soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 predicts pneumonia in patients with inhalation injury: Results of a pilot study

IntroductionSeveral mechanisms play a role in the development of pneumonia after inhalation injury. Our aim was to analyze whether higher concentrations of inflammatory markers or of biomarkers of epithelial injury are associated with a higher incidence of pneumonia in patients with inhalation injury.Material and methodsSecondary analysis of a single-center prospective observational cohort pilot study, performed over a two-year period (2015–2017) at the Burns Unit of the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Department of Vall d’Hebron University Hospital. All patients aged 18 with suspected inhalation injury undergoing admission to the Burns Unit were included. Plasma biomarkers of the lung epithelium (RAGE and SP-D), inflammation markers (IL6, IL8), and IL33, as well as soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 (sST2) levels, were measured within the first 24 h of admission.ResultsTwenty-four patients with inhalation injury were included. Eight (33.3%) developed pneumonia after a median of 7 (4–8) days of hospital stay. Patients with pneumonia presented higher plasma concentrations of sST2 (2853 [2356–3351] ng/mL vs 1352 [865–1839] ng/mL; p < 0.001), IL33 (1.95 [1.31–2.59] pg/mL vs 1.26 [1.07–1.45] pg/mL; p = 0.002) and IL8 (325.7 [221.6–430.0] pg/mL vs 174.1 [95.2–253.0] pg/mL; p = 0.017) on day 1 of inclusion. Plasma sST2 concentration in the first 24 h demonstrated excellent diagnostic accuracy for predicting the occurrence of pneumonia in patients with smoke inhalation (AUROC 0.929 [95%CI 0.818–1.000]). A cutoff point of ≥2825 ng/mL for sST2 had a sensitivity of 75% and a specificity of 100%. The risk ratio of pneumonia in patients with sST2 ≥ 2825 ng/mL was 7.14 ([95% CI 1.56–32.61]; p = 0.016).ConclusionsPlasma sST2 in the first 24 h of admission predicts the occurrence of pneumonia in patients with inhalation injury.
