Abstract

We have experienced a case of pleural aspergillosis. A 50 year old female complained of malaise, anorexia, coughing with sputum, and right sided pleuritic chest pain of two weeks' duration. About ten years ago, she had been treated for pulmonary tuberculosis with medication. Chest radiography showed right pyopneumothorax with cavitation in the rig t upper lung and Chest computed topography revealed right loculated pyopneumothorax with cavity formation suggesting bronchopleural fistula. Decortication and wedge resection with pleurectomy were performed. The postoperative course was satisfactory and has been in good condition up to now. Pleural aspergillosis is a very rare and potentially life-threatening disease, but we have had good results without significant complications by treatment with systemic antifungal drugs and surgical operation.

저자들은 흉막 아스페르길루스증을 치험하였다. 50세 여자가 2주 동안의 권태감, 식욕부진, 객담을 동반한 기침 및 우측 홉막성 흉통을 주소로 내원하였다. 과거력상 10여년전 폐결핵으로 약물치료를 받은 적이 있었 다. 일반 흉부 사진상 폐우상엽에 공동을 동반한 농기흉을 보였으며,흉부 전산화 단층촬영상 우측 폐에 분 획된 농기흉 및 기관지 늑막루 소견을 보이는 공동이 관찰되었다. 폐 박피술과 부분절제,그리고 흉막절제술 을 시행하였으며 술후 경과는 만족스러웠다. 흉막 아스페르길루스증은 매우 드물고 잘 치유되지 않는 질병 이나 전신적 항진균제제 투여 및 수술적 치료로 별다른 합병증 없이 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었으나 재발의 가능성 때문에 계속 추적 관찰 중이다.
