How to treat fungal lung infection

If you have a fungal infection in the lungs, you should certainly pay attention to the treatment. First of all, you need to pay attention to improving the body's immune ability and timely rescue. You should also pay attention to the correct use of some anti-fungal infection drugs, but you should pay attention to the doctor's advice on the use of drugs.

(1) Improve the body's immune rescue capabilities, such as correcting hypoproteinemia, improving nutritional status, correcting anemia and granulocytopenia, etc.

(ii) Antifungal drug treatment areas Since fungal cells are similar to human cells, antifungal drugs have more adverse reactions. The following are commonly used antifungal drugs. Amphotericin B, triazoles (such as fluconazole, traconazole, and riconazole), glucan synthase inhibitors, and liposomal mycobacterium.

(III) Common pulmonary fungal infections include candidiasis , aspergillosis, and cryptococcosis. Rare diseases include mucormycosis, histoplasmosis, and coccidioidomycosis.

(IV) Prevention: Strengthen hospital management , control the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and glucocorticoids, air purification in intensive care units, disinfection of respiratory therapy equipment, and laminar flow wards for chemotherapy patients. Can greatly reduce the occurrence of pulmonary fungal disease. For those whose symptoms and chest X-rays do not improve after active antibiotic treatment, we should be highly vigilant about fungal infection in order to obtain an early diagnosis and treatment.

prevention

1. Avoid triggers

Avoid catching cold, getting caught in the rain, and being overly tired; avoid contact with people with colds, and avoid touching your mouth, eyes, and nose with dirty hands. The elderly, the weak and those who are susceptible should pay more attention to protection. When upper respiratory tract infections are prevalent, they should wear masks and avoid going in crowded public places.

2. Enhance physical fitness

The main way to prevent this disease is to stick to moderate and regular outdoor exercise and improve the body's immunity and cold resistance.

3. Immunomodulatory drugs and vaccines

For patients who suffer from this disease frequently and repeatedly and the elderly with low immunity, immune enhancers may be used as appropriate. There are currently no vaccines for viruses other than influenza.
