摘要

Alveolo-pleural fistula is a common complication of severe pulmonary infection. Some patients require long-term placement of chest tubes until spontaneous closure of the fistula takes place, whereas others require surgical intervention. We report a case of a patient with alveolo-pleural fistula secondary to Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia who was successfully treated with the use of intrabronchial unidirectional valves inserted using flexible bronchoscopy. Alveolo-pleural fistula (APF)-an abnormal connection between the subsegmental pulmonary parenchyma and the pleura-is a common condition encountered in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and can result from necrotic pneumonia, thoracic surgery, or lung parenchymal abnormalities. APF is associated with persistent air leak and pneumothorax, often resulting in prolonged hospitalization for the affected patients. Standard therapy for APF includes evacuation of the pneumothorax using chest tube, coupled with prolonged use of water seal, intermittent suction, or Heimlich valves to minimize reaccumulation of pleural air until the APF resolves spontaneously. For some patients, surgical procedures may be required if the resolution is not achieved by the chest tube evacuation alone.
