Two cases of culture proven Mycobacterium tuberculosis presenting with a broad-complex tachycardia and non-caseating granulomas
Tuberculosis is a leading cause of death worldwide. It affects pulmonary and extra-pulmonary sites with a multitude of differing presentations. In this report, we describe two cases in which TB causes myopericarditis and presents with a broad-complex tachycardia that did not respond typically to standard anti-arrhythmic therapy; a very rare presentation with limited description in the literatur...
متن کاملTwo cases of Mycobacterium microti-induced culture-negative tuberculosis.
We present descriptions of two human Mycobacterium microti infections: one of a patient with pulmonary disease and one of a patient with osteomyelitis of the hip. Both patients had acid-fast bacilli and a positive Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex PCR from clinical specimens, but mycobacterial cultures remained negative. The microbiological diagnosis was established by molecular methods.
متن کاملIndolent non-caseating Mycobacterial tuberculosis.
At the present time, tuberculosis affecting the skin or the small bones of the hands and feet is uncommon in Great Britain. Out of 2500 cases of tuberculosis in children documented by Miller, Seal, and Taylor (1963), 34 had a primary skin infection and 28 had a haematogenous skin infection. Of these 28, only 6 were of the verrucous type. In their entire series they saw only 2 cases of tuberculo...
متن کاملCaseating Granulomas in Cutaneous Leishmaniasis
BACKGROUND Caseating granulomas are often associated with a mycobacterial infection (TB) and are thought to be exceedingly rare in cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). However, no large series has accurately documented the incidence of caseating granulomas in CL. METHODS A multiregional cohort consisting of 317 patients with CL [Syria (157), Pakistan (66), Lebanon (47), Saudi Arabia (43), Ethiopia (...
متن کاملIdentification of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Complex, Using Molecular Methods
Abstract Background and Objective: A high level of homogeneity observed within all bacteria in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex makes a property that seriously challenges traditional biochemical-based identification methods of these pathogens in the laboratory. The work presented here was conducted to characterize Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates in Golestan, Northern Iran. ...
