Tuberculosis paradoxical reaction.
T is endemic in this part of the world. We frequently encounter patients with both pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis regardless of whether they are infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or not. It is not uncommon for physicians to see clinical or radiological, or both, worsening of the disease while their patient is on anti-tuberculous treatment, the so-called paradoxical rea...
متن کاملA Case of Obstructive Jaundice Caused by Paradoxical Reaction during Antituberculous Chemotherapy for Abdominal Tuberculosis
Abdominal tuberculosis is not a rare disease, but obstructive jaundice caused by tuberculosis (tuberculous lymphadenitis, tuberculous enlargement of the head of pancreas, and/or tuberculous stricture of the biliary tree) is rare. We recently experienced a case of obstructive jaundice as a result of paradoxical reaction of periportal tuberculous lymphadenopathy that was treated successfully with...
متن کاملCongenital tuberculosis with possible placental transmission and paradoxical reaction to anti-tuberculosis treatment
Congenital tuberculosis (CTB) is a rare disease with a high mortality rate, requiring high index of suspicion to diagnose because of non-specific presentation. This report describes a case of 6 month male child with congenital tuberculosis with possible placental transmission. Infant had fever, fast breathing and cough since 20 days of life. Ultrasonography (USG) abdomen showed granulomatous le...
متن کاملA Case of Paradoxical Reaction after Treatment of Eyelid Tuberculosis
Dear Editor, We hereby present a case of paradoxical reaction after treatment of eyelid tuberculosis (TB) with anti-TB medication. An 89-year-old man presented with painful eyelid swelling and erythema of his left eyelid, which initially developed one month earlier (Fig. 1A); he was otherwise in a healthy condition. No history of ocular trauma or operation was reported. At the time of his first...
متن کاملConstruction of a mathematical model for tuberculosis transmission in highly endemic regions of the Asia-Pacific.
We present a mathematical model to simulate tuberculosis (TB) transmission in highly endemic regions of the Asia-Pacific, where epidemiology does not appear to be primarily driven by HIV-coinfection. The ten-compartment deterministic model captures many of the observed phenomena important to disease dynamics, including partial and temporary vaccine efficacy, declining risk of active disease fol...
