Pulmonary melioidosis mimicking lung cancer: a diagnostic challenge.
Background: The overlapping clinical and radiographic features of pulmonary melioidosis and lung cancer present diagnostic challenges to healthcare providers in endemic settings.
Methods: We compared the clinical, laboratory and imaging characteristics of 19 pulmonary melioidosis cases with those of 15 cases of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and 17 cases of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Results: Compared with SCLC/NSCLC cases, those with pulmonary melioidosis were more likely to have diabetes, have fever, neutrophilia and leukocytosis on presentation (p<0.05). While certain CT imaging features were shared between pulmonary melioidosis and SCLC ('frozen mediastinum sign', 'vascular encasement sign'), extensive liquefactive necrosis, uneven ring-enhancement, circular lesions and 'air-bubble' signs were more commonly seen in pulmonary melioidosis cases than in those with SCLC/NSCLC (p<0.05).
Conclusions: Despite the similarities in presentation of pulmonary melioidosis, SCLC and NSCLC, several clinical, laboratory and imaging factors may help delineate these diagnoses and improve patient care.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
