THE ROLE OF FIBEROPTIC BRONCHOSCOPY IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS
From January 1982 to April 1987 , 1500 cases of fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) were performed. Among these cases, 37 were suspected of having pulmonary tuberculosis but their sputum examination was either negative or they were not able to expectorate. In all these cases pulmonary TB was confirmed either by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid examination or by biopsy. We conclude that FOB is ...
متن کاملFiberoptic bronchoscopy in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis.
Fiberoptic bronchoscopy was performed in 30 cases of suspected pulmonary tuberculosis. Sputum was negative for tubercle bacilli in all the patients, but in specimens obtained at bronchoscopy tubercle bacilli were found in 86.6%. By postbronchoscopy sputum smear examination tubercle bacilli were detected in 73.3% of the cases.
متن کاملDiagnostic role of fiberoptic bronchoscopy in suspected smear negative pulmonary tuberculosis.
Fiberoptic bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and transbronchial biopsy (TBB) was performed in 40 patients suspected to have pulmonary tuberculosis, in whom chest roentgenogram revealed minimal infiltration and sputum smears were negative for acid-fast bacilli. Bronchoscopic procedures provided overall diagnostic yields in 47.5% (19/40) of patients. The diagnostic yield of overall b...

متن کاملRole of fiberoptic bronchoscopy for diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in patients at risk for AIDS.
In patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-associated pulmonary Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) (group 1), we analyzed whether the addition of transbronchial biopsy (TBB) and bronchial brushings augmented the diagnostic MTB yield over nonbiopsy sampling. Positive acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smears from combined sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), and washings were 30 percent comp...
