寄生虫病是波及全世界的感染性疾病,随着交通运输的发展,某些区域性流行的寄生虫感染已突破地域限制,流行变得普遍,对人类健康威胁严重。一些寄生虫感染可导致胸膜受累,常见的有溶组织内阿米巴、细粒棘球绦虫和肺吸虫等,表现为胸腔积液、脓胸、胸膜增厚、液气胸和支气管胸膜瘘等。寄生虫导致的胸膜病变在疾病的初期往往无法识别,易于与其他病原导致的胸膜病变相混淆,阐述寄生虫感染导致的胸腔积液,有利于临床医生在难治性胸腔积液的诊治过程中提高认识,及早给予诊断和治疗。 Parasitic diseases are contagious diseases affecting the world. With the development of transportation, some endemic parasitic infections have exceeded the geographical restrictions. The epidemic has become widespread and threatens human health seriously. Some parasitic infections can lead to pleural involvement, commonly known as Entamoeba histolytica, Echinococcus granulosus and paragonimiasis, manifested as pleural effusion, empyema, pleural thickening, liquid pneumothorax and bronchial pleural fistula. Parasite-induced pleural disease is often not recognized early in the disease, easy to be confused with pleural lesions caused by other pathogens, elucidation of parasitic pleural effusion caused by infection, is conducive to clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of refractory pleural effusion Awareness, early diagnosis and treatment.
