Potential Diagnostic Properties of Chest Ultrasound in Thoracic Tuberculosis-A Systematic Review.
2018
Background: Chest ultrasound (CUS) has been shown to be a sensitive and specific imaging modality for pneumothorax, pneumonia, and pleural effusions. However, the role of chest ultrasound in the diagnosis of thoracic tuberculosis (TB) is uncertain. We performed a systematic search in the medical literature to better define the potential role and value of chest ultrasound in diagnosing thoracic tuberculosis. Aim: To describe existing literature with regard to the diagnostic value of chest ultrasound in thoracic tuberculosis. Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Scopus databases were searched for relevant articles. We included studies that used chest ultrasound for the diagnosis or management of any…

Delayed diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis in a 32-year-old man with knee pain
2016
A 32-year-old Bangladeshi male was admitted at our emergency department for trauma of the left knee. The radiographs showed absence of fracture, and presence of an indeterminate oval lucency in the proximal tibia. Further examinations were suggested, but the patient refused. 6 months later, the patient re-presented at our emergency department. A CT scan showed progression of musculoskeletal involvement and spread to the liver. This case underlines the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of indeterminate bone lesions in immigrant patients.
Osteomyelitis affecting mandible in tuberculosis patients
2012
Tuberculosis (TB) is a frequent health problem in developing nations. It has two forms pulmonary and secondary causing other kinds of TB, collectively denoted extra pulmonary tuberculosis. The prevalence of extra pulmonary TB has increased in the last couple of years. Maxillofacial manifestations of tuberculosis form nearly 10% of all extra pulmonary manifestations of the disease. Extra pulmonary TB involving maxillofacial region is our prime concern. Very few cases of TB of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and mandible have been reported in literature. The clinical appearance of TB infection of the TMJ has been described as unspecific, resembling arthritis, osteomyelitis, cancer or any ki…
Diagnóstico de la tuberculosis en la edad pediátrica. Documento de consenso de la Sociedad Española de Infectología Pediátrica (SEIP) y la Sociedad E…
2010
Resumen: La tuberculosis continúa siendo uno de los problemas sanitarios más importantes en el mundo. En países desarrollados se está asistiendo a un aumento de casos, incluidos los niños, por diferentes motivos. El más determinante parece ser la inmigración procedente de zonas con elevada endemia de tuberculosis.Es prioritario que se establezcan las medidas necesarias para optimizar el diagnóstico precoz y adecuado de las distintas formas clínicas de tuberculosis en niños. Para ello, la Sociedad Española de Infectología Pediátrica (SEIP) y la Sociedad Española de Neumología Pediátrica (SENP), ambas pertenecientes Asociación Española de Pediatría, han decidido realizar el presente documento…
Serum isoniazid concentration in the patients as an indicator of the effectiveness and toxicity of tuberculosis treatment
2019
Introduction The low serum concentration of the anti-tuberculosis (TB) drugs in TB patients is observed quite often, but the significance of this phenomenon remains controversial. Aim The aim of the presented research was to clarify the association between isoniazid concentration and TB-treatment outcomes. Material and methods Blood samples were obtained from 86 patients with newly diagnosed pulmonary TB at Odessa Regional TB Hospital in 2015. The level of isoniazid in blood was measured 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, and 24 h after the administration of isoniazid. The medical records of the enrolled patients at the beginning and at the end of the in-patient treatment, and the activity of the biochemical i…
Die Lungentuberkulose – aktuelle radiologische Diagnostik einer alten Krankheit
2000
Inzidenz. Abnehmende Inzidenzen aktiver Tuberkulose in den Industrielandern haben diese Erkrankung aus dem Bewusstsein vieler verdrangt. Dennoch stellt die Tuberkulose weiterhin weltweit die am haufigsten zum Tode fuhrende Infektionskrankheit dar. In den Industrielandern tragen Faktoren wie Einwanderungsbewegungen, zunehmende Verarmung und die Zunahme immunsupprimierter Patienten, insbesondere durch die HIV-Epidemie, dazu bei, dass ein Reservoir fur die Tuberkulose aufrecht erhalten wird. Diagnose. Eine fruhzeitige Diagnose ist wegen der spezifischen Therapiemoglichkeiten entscheidend fur den Krankheitsverlauf; im Falle von multiresistenten Stammen ist sie wichtig zur Verhinderung einer wei…
