摘　　要：BACKGROUND Specific pulmonary infection could seriously threaten the health of pilots and their companions.The consequences are serious.We investigated the clinical diagnosis,treatment,and medical identification of specific pulmonary infections in naval pilots.CASE SUMMARY We analyzed the medical waiver and clinical data of four pilots with specific pulmonary infections,who had accepted treatment at the Naval Medical Center of Chinese People’s Liberation Army between January 2020 and November 2021,including three cases of tuberculosis and one of cryptococcal pneumonia.All cases underwent a series of comprehensive treatment courses.Three cases successfully obtained medical waiver for flight after being cured,while one was grounded after reaching the maximum flight life after being cured.CONCLUSION Chest computed tomography scanning should be used instead of chest radiography in pilots’physical examination.Most pilots with specific pulmonary infection can be cured and return to flight.
