Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To improve the knowledge of pulmonary aspergillosis. METHODS We analyzed the clinical features of 17 cases of pulmonary aspergillosis inpatients from May 1994 to Apr 2006 in our hospital retrospectively. RESULTS Sixteen cases were infected out of hospital,1 case was infected in hospital.The correct diagnostic rate of pulmonary aspergillosis was only 21.4% in the patients infected out of hospital,70.6% cases infected out of hospital were misdiagnosed to as tuberculosis or lung cancer. CONCLUSIONS The misdiagnosed reasons are that the some doctors are short of perceptual knowledge of aspergillosis and pulmonary aspergillosis confuses easily with TB and cancer and other underlying diseases.
