| Core Tip |
Pilots are mostly young people without underlying medical conditions. Thus, the infection rate of specific lung infection is very low. Due to the lack of characteristic clinical manifestations of specific pulmonary infection, misdiagnosis can occur frequently and delay treatment. Specific lung infection not only aggravates the pilots’ health, but also causes the spread of pathogens in flight force with resulting in serious consequences. Chest computed tomography (CT) should be used instead of chest radiography in pilots’ annual physical examination. When pilots are diagnosed with specific lung infection, related tests and chest CTs should be used to screen people in the same camp to prevent further infections. After active treatment, most pilots with specific pulmonary infection can be cured and return to flight. |
