title: [The detection of virus antigen in the lower respiratory tract of the patients with lung cancer].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To find out about the viral infection situation of lower respiratory tract of the patients with lung cancer.
  
  
  METHODS
  The excretion from the surface of bronchiogenic carcinoma was brushed under fibrobronchoscopy. The respiratory virus antigen was detected and analysed by reagent kit produced by the 262nd Hospital of Beijing Military Region.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The respiratory virus antigen was positive in eight cases of lung cancer group, the positive rate was 17.4%(8/46), it was significantly higher than that in non-lung cancer group (P < 0.05). Among them, there were one case of influenza virus A, two cases of influenza virus B, two cases of para-influenza 1,3, two cases of adenovirus and one case of respiratory syncytial virus. The carcinoma accompanied with viral infection were 4,3,1, cases in order of squamous carcinoma, small cell lung carcinoma and adenocarcinoma.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The results showed that a relationship existed between lung cancer and viral infection of respiratory tract statistically. The viral infection increased in patients with lung cancer, this is worthy to pay attention to.
