Lupus Vulgaris and Primary Intrathoracic Tuberculosis

Multifocal cystic bone tuberculosis with lupus vulgaris and lymphadenitis.

via cavernous sinus and intracranial propagation of periorbital cellulitis. This was not required in our case due to probably institution of appropriate antibiotic therapy. It may be of merit in severe or late diagnosed cases. Staphylococcal colonization of nasopharynx can lead to ethmoiditis in immunocompromized or susceptible child, with rapid progress locally and hematogenous seeding as in o...

for sixteen years; another similarly for fifteen and a half years; and a third for thirteen years. In none of these three cases was ureteral catheterisation carried out. Deposits were present, when first seen, in prostate, vesiculw, or epididymis, and in all three tubercle bacilli were found in the urine.

Aspergillus species are among the most ubiquitous fungi, seen in soil, water, decaying vegetations and any substrate that contains organic debris. The respiratory tract is the most common primary portal of entry. After candida albicans, the aspergillus species is the second most common cause of human opportunistic fungal infection. Our patient was taking oral corticosteroids for more than one y...

Primary intrathoracic neural tumours.

TERMINOLOGY Each axon cylinder is encased in a sheath of Schwann cells, and the tumour arising from this, the specific nerve sheath, is the Schwannoma or neurilemmoma. Groups of axon cylinders comprising a peripheral nerve are enmeshed in a non-specific sheath of fibrous tissue, and tumours arising from this non-specific nerve sheath are neurofibromata. In some nerve sheath tumours clear histol...
