Overview

Randomized trial reveals antifungal treatment improves chronic wet cough in children with fungal bronchitis, suggesting a distinct disease entity.

Key Points

  • To investigate the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of children diagnosed with persistent fungal bronchitis.
  • Retrospective analysis of clinical data from 14 children diagnosed with persistent fungal bronchitis since 2021.
  • Inclusion of diagnostic tools such as chest CT and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid examinations.
  • Assessment of treatment efficacy following antifungal therapy.
  • All cases involved chronic wet cough lasting 1 to 48 months, with chest CT showing bronchial wall thickening.
  • Detection of Aspergillus species in the majority of cases through BALF mNGS and cultures.
  • Statistically significant symptom improvement (P≤0.001) after 1-14 days of antifungal treatment.
