Abstract:
Objective To discuss the clinical characteristics of advanced schistosomiasis combined with tuberculous pleuri?sy,so as to reduce misdiagnosis and mistreatment. Methods The clinical data of 15 patients suffered from advanced schistoso?miasis combined with tuberculous pleurisy were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Results The 15 patients all showed var?ious degrees of gastrointestinal symptoms with the performance of abdominal distension,digestive function and fatigue,14 pa?tients showed various degrees of edematous,9 patients showed stuffiness,4 patients had cough and expectoration,and 2 pa?tients had low fever and night sweats. Three cases were diagnosed within 2 days after admission,9 cases were diagnosed within one week after admission,and 3 cases were diagnosed after one week. Fifteen patients all received anti?tuberculosis treatment based on routine liver protection,diuresis,and symptomatic and supportive treatment. One patient with severe liver and kidney dysfunction died and one with gastrointestinal bleeding died. The remaining 13 patients were clinically cured. Conclusions The patients suffered from advanced schistosomiasis combined with tuberculous pleurisy do not show obvious tuberculosis poison?ing symptoms,and are easily misdiagnosed and missed?diagnosed. Therefore,physicians should pay much attention to the pa?tients whose pleural effusion cannot subside effectively or whose symptom cannot improve.
