Treatment of Lung Cancer Complicated with Infection of Talaromyces Marneffei Based on Chest Imaging Characteristics Monitoring
ABSTRACT
Background:
Background:
At present, although the infection of Talaromyces Marneffei has been known at home and abroad, there are few reports of Talaromyces Marneffei in lung cancer.
Objective:
Objective:
The objective is to explore the diagnosis and treatment process of lung cancer patients with infection of Talaromyces Marneffei and its chest imaging characteristics, so as to improve the clinicians' realization of the disease.
Methods:
Method: The patients with lung cancer and infection of Talaromyces Marneffei (observation group) and the patients with infection of Talaromyces Marneffei (control group) are taken as the study objects, and the clinical characteristics and chest CT (computed tomography) imaging characteristics of the two groups are compared and summarized.
Results:
Results:
The number of male patients infected with Talaromyces Marneffei is significantly higher than that of female patients (P < 0.05). The symptoms of cough and expectoration in the observation group are more than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The main imaging features of the observation group are obvious enhancement of focus enhancement scanning, strip shape and nodule, and the situation of obvious enhancement of focus enhancement scanning in the observation group is significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05).
Conclusions:
Conclusion: The clinical and imaging features of lung cancer and Talaromyces Marneffei infection overlap. When the lung lesions of patients with Talaromyces Marneffei have significant malignant signs, the possibility of lung cancer should be considered.
