Abstract:Objective To study the clinical characteristics of invasive trancheobronchial aspergillosis(ITBA).Methods The clinical data of 8 ITBA patients secondary to lung cancer, who were pathologically diagnosed from November 2016 to November 2018 were studied retrospectively, the etiologies, clinical manifestations, CT imagings, bronchoscopic findings, serum and BALF GM tests, treatments and prognosis were included.Results All the 8 ITBA patients received systemic chemotherapy, 7 patients received radiotherapy (including brachytherapy and I125 implantation), and 2 patients received airway stent implantation; Main symptoms of ITBA: cough and sputum in 8 cases (100.0%), chest tightness in 5 cases (62.5%), hemoptysis in 2 cases (25.0%), fever in 1 case (12.5%); CT imagings: 4 cases (50.0%) had no significant change, 2 cases (25.0%) had thickened airway wall or stenosis, and 2 cases (25.0%) had obstructive atelectasis. Bronchoscopic finding: 3 cases (37.5%) were pseudomembranous forms, 2 cases (25.0%) were obstructive forms, and 3 cases (37.5%) were ulcerative forms; GM test: the positive rate of serum GM test was 28.6%(2/7), with an average value of (0.37 ± 0.21),The positive rate of BALF GM test was 100.0% (7/7), with an average value of (4.27 ± 2.14), which was higher than that of serum ( 2 = 7.78, P = 0.005; t = 4.79, P = 0.003); After anti-aspergillosis treatment such as voriconazole, 1 patient recovered and 7 died, with an average total survival time of (4.07 ± 3.31) months.Conclusion Lung cancer, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and airway stent implantation may be the high risk factors for ITBA; There is no specificity in clinical and imaging manifestations of ITBA. So it is quite difficult to diagnosis and it has a poor prognosis. Bronchoscopy still plays an irreplaceable role in the diagnosis and treatment of ITBA; The BALF GM test is more sensitive than serum in the diagnosis of ITBA, which is worthy of further study.
