Persistent pulmonary interstitial emphysema with respiratory infection: a clinicopathological analysis of six cases and detection of infectious pathogens by metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS)
Abstract:Objective: Persistent pulmonary interstitial emphysema (PPIE) is always related to mechanical ventilation and preterm. Its relationship with respiratory infection has rarely been reported in the literature. PPIE is difficult to diagnosis, always mimics with other cystic lesions. The objective of this study was to evaluate clinicopathological radiographic features of PPIE with respiratory infection and to detect the possible infectious pathogens. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed a total of 237 patients path… Show more
