ABSTRACT
Objective To study the diagnostic value of pencilliosis marneffei (PM)in a non-HIV-infected child with the com-bined detection of aspergillosis galactomannan,fungus Glucan(1-3)-β-D and boold culuture.Methods The venous blood specimen from the child was collected for the quantified detection of aspergillosis galactomannan,fungus Glucan(1-3)-β-D. The growth and colonial morphology of fungus was inspected with the positive blood culture and the characteristics of fun-gus smear were observed under microscope.Results The result of aspergillosis galactomannan was 14.45 μg/L and fungus Glucan (1-3)-β-D 77.14 pg/ml.Penicillium marnrffei was identified using blood culture.It was mycelia form under 25℃ and the salouraud medium produced water soluble claret-red pigment produced.It was mycelia form under 35℃ and the colony was gyri creases,the characteristic broom-like hypha and separation hypha could be found under microscope.Conclusion It is effective for the early diagnosis and therapy of PM with the combination detection of aspergillosis galactomannan,fungus Glucan (1-3)-β-D and boold culuture and have better clinical diagnosis value.
ABSTRACT
Objective To improve the degree of acquaintance of nursing of AIDS complicated with tu-berculosis(TB)and pencilliosis marneffei (PSM) through analysis of the clinical data of patients with these three diseases. Methods The clinical characteristics, treament and nursing care of 26 patients with AIDS compli-cated with TB and PSM were analyzed and summarized. Results 5 patients cured,13 patients turned better,8 cases died. The survival patients did not relapse after 6 to 30 months of follow- up. Conclusions The clinic presence of AIDS complicated with TB and PSM is complex and not specific, and the nursing care is difficult. We should monitor the state of illness carefully, make diagnosis and give treatment and meticulous nursing care as soon as possible to improve the prognosis.
