title: [Bronchofiberosocopy for diagnosis of 6 cases of pulmonary schistosomiasis].
abstract: Six cases of pulmonary schistosomiasis diagnosed by bronchofiberoscopic examination and biopsy are reported. It was 1.5% in patients biopsied in 1984-1986. All cases come into contact with infected water, and 4 cases suffered from schistosomiasis. The chief symptoms were cough, productive cough and slight hemoptysis. The objective finding showed red swollen, ulcer and miliary nodule in the bronchial mucosa membrane by bronchofiberoscopy observation. Authors discussed chiefly about pathological changes, diagnosis, and demonstrated that bronchofiberoscopy is a new method for diagnosing pulmonary schistosomiasis.
