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 کاملThe role of diagnostic fiberoptic bronchoscopy for rapid diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis.
The role of fiberoptic bronchoscopy for rapid diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis was examined among 74 patients who were suspected of having the disease but had negative sputum smear for acid fast bacilli. Bronchial brushing and washing were routinely performed in all subjects and bronchial biopsy was performed on abnormal mucosa in 7 of them. The diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis was confir...
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...
