Extremely Increased Serum Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 Levels Caused by New or Resistant Infections to Previous Antibiotics in Chronic Lung Diseases

Abstract: In this paper, we describe 72-year-old female patient without evidence of malignant disease presented with significantly elevated serum carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 levels by respiratory infections. She was diagnosed with respiratory infections due to Mycobacterium avium complex and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The serum CA 19-9 levels remarkably increased (1,453-5,300 U/mL; reference range, <37 U/mL) by respiratory infection and abruptly decreased (357-534 U/mL) whenever infection was controlled by specific trea… Show more

“…The correlation between CA19-9, CA72-4, and TNM stage in LAC and LSCC were similar to that of CEA; the correlation coefficients were lower. CA19-9 increased in patients with infectious lung disease [23]. NSCLC, especially advanced NSCLC, was often accompanied by severe infection.…”

“…CA 19-9 levels were also found to be increased in other biliary tract-related diseases such as cholecystitis, cholangitis, choledocholithiasis, primary biliary cirrhosis, viral hepatitis, and pancreatitis (9,(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). High levels of CA 19-9 have also been reported in the case reports of respiratory, rheumatologic, renal, and infectious diseases (20)(21)(22).…”

“…In addition, in the patients with malignant tumors such as stomach, ovary, hepatocellular and colorectal carcinomas and in benign cases (pancreatitis, cholangitis, and choledocholithiasis) involving the biliary tree have been shown to increase levels [8][9][10][11] . There have also been case reports that found elevated CA 19-9 levels may be seen in cases of tuberculosis, infections, various rheumatological, and benign renal events [12][13][14][15] .…”
