  • Diagnostic value and analysis of endobronchial ultrasonography with a guide sheath for pulmonary fungal disease

    ObjectiveTo explore the diagnostic value of endobronchial ultrasonography with a guide sheath (EBUS-GS) for pulmonary fungal disease.MethodsAll patients were collected from January 2015 to December 2018. They were diagnosed with pulmonary fungal disease by tissue biopsy, body fluid or blood test, and without other diseases such as pneumonia, lung cancer, lung abscess, tuberculosis, or organizing pneumonia, etc. After clinical anti-fungal treatment, clinical symptoms were relieved, chest CT lesions were absorbed, laboratory-related checks were turned negative in these patients. All patients underwent bronchoscopy, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid/brush examination, and blood galactomannan antigen test/latex agglutination test. They were divided into an EBUS-GS group and a non-EBUS-GS group according to whether EBUS-GS check was performed. Non-parametric test was used to analyze the diagnostic value of EBUS-GS in pulmonary fungal diseases.ResultsFifty-one patients were included and 20 patients in the EBUS-GS group and 31 patients in the non-EBUS-GS group. The EBUS-GS group had a higher positive rate of pulmonary fungal disease. The diagnostic rates of the EBUS-GS group and the non-EBUS-GS group were statistically different (90.0% vs. 48.4%, P<0.05).ConclusionEBUS-GS can improve the diagnosis rate of pulmonary fungal disease and provides further evidence for a clear diagnosis.
