Chinese Journal of Clinical Medicine 2026;33(1):143-146
A 53-year-old female patient was diagnosed as allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in March 2015. The patient was treated with oral glucocorticoid (methylprednisolone 6-20 mg/d for 4.5 years and prednisone 5-20 mg/d over 2 years) for 6.5 years. And patient’s condition was not well controlled. In June 2019, itraconazole was taken for more than one month, and it was discontinued due to adverse reactions such as edema of ankle, face, shoulder and skin pigmentation. The patient suffered from acute ABPA exacerbation repeatedly and disease progression. The levels of serum total immunoglobulin E (TIgE) and Aspergillus fumigatus specific immunoglobulin E (Af-sIgE) were higher. The biological agents were used after full evaluation and informed consent. Omalizumab was given off-label use (600 mg, q4w) in September 2021. After treatment, the patient gradually improved, the acute exacerbation was reduced, the condition was evaluated to be stable, and the dose of prednisone was gradually reduced to 5 mg/d.

This paper systematically reviews the current status of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection, as well as recent progress in clinical and basic research both in China and internationally. It summarizes the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in Hp infection management, including improving Hp eradication rates, enhancing antibiotic sensitivity, reducing antimicrobial resistance, decreasing drug-related adverse effects, and ameliorating gastric mucosal lesions. These advantages are particularly evident in patients who are intolerant to bismuth-containing regimens, those with refractory Hp infection, and individuals with precancerous gastric lesions. An integrated, whole-process management approach and individualized, staged comprehensive treatment strategies combining TCM and western medicine are proposed for Hp infection. Future prevention and control of Hp infection should adopt an integrative Chinese-western medical strategy, emphasizing prevention, strengthening primary care, implementing proactive long-term monitoring, optimizing screening strategies, and advancing the development of novel technologies and mechanistic studies of Chinese herbal interventions. These efforts aim to provide a theoretical basis and practical pathways for the establishment and improvement of Hp infection prevention and control systems.

A 52-year-old female patient was diagnosed with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), asthma and allergic rhinitis and was treated with mepolizumab (100 mg, once every 4 weeks). Three days after the second administration, the patient developed dark yellow urine, and abnormal liver function indicators were found on day 6 after administration. Laboratory tests showed total bilirubin (TBIL) of 22 μmol/L, direct bilirubin (DBIL) of 14.9 μmol/L, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) of 461 U/L, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) of 129 U/L, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) of 296 U/L. After a comprehensive assessment, it was considered that mepolizumab may caused liver injury in the patient. Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate, glutathione, and ursodeoxycholic acid were used for liver protection. Five days later, the urine color became lighter and liver function indicators improved (TBIL 17.4 μmol/L, DBIL 9.8 μmol/L, ALT 214 U/L, AST 85 U/L, ALP 226 U/L). After about 2 weeks of continued liver protection treatment, liver function returned to normal. Mepolizumab treatment was suspended and during the follow-up for about half a year, the patient did not experience liver function abnormalities or other discomforts again.

This paper reports a case of recurrent peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis caused by Salmonella, as identified through metagenomic next-generation sequencing. This patient was treated regularly with peritoneal dialysis due to stage 5 chronic kidney disease. One month ago, she was hospitalized for peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis. The result of bacterial culture of the dialysate was Salmonella, and she was discharged after anti-infective treatment for 3 weeks. However, on the 12th day after discharge, the patient was readmitted to the hospital due to peritonitis.Both metagenomic next-generation sequencing and bacterial culture of the fluid confirmed the presence of Salmonella. After 3 weeks of intraperitoneal and intravenous anti-infection treatment, the patient underwent metagenomic next-generation sequencing to assess pathogen eradication before discharge.
