On examination, fungal pneumonia and atelectasis

The results of the examination showed fungal pneumonia with atelectasis, which is generally considered to be caused by the patient's long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, glucocorticoids and other drugs. It can also be caused by low immunity.

1. Reasons

1. Long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics: If patients take broad-spectrum antibiotics for a long time, such as penicillins or cephalosporins, it may disrupt the normal balance of the human flora, thereby causing fungal infection;

2. Glucocorticoids: If the patient suffers from autoimmune diseases, when using glucocorticoids for treatment, it can inhibit the inflammatory response in the body and reduce the body's resistance, which is easy to be attacked by fungi and cause fungal pneumonia;

3. Low immunity: When patients have tumors, AIDS or other diseases, it may lead to a decrease in immunity and inability to resist the invasion of foreign pathogens, resulting in the above situation.

2. Treatment

It is recommended to go to the hospital in time and choose the appropriate antifungal drugs for treatment according to the condition under the guidance of the doctor, such as itraconazole capsules, fluconazole tablets, etc. At the same time, the underlying disease needs to be actively treated, and if necessary, oxygen can be taken to improve ventilation according to the doctor's instructions.

In addition to this, it may also be related to the patient's long-term heavy smoking. Once the disease is diagnosed, it is important to actively cooperate with the doctor for targeted treatment to avoid delaying the disease.
