Although the respiratory tract is the major site for tuberculous lesions, all organs can be affected. The authors review the clinical files of 25 patients admitted to our Department with lung and/or pleural tuberculous disease, confirmed by bacteriology or histopathology, who simultaneously suffered from tuberculosis in other organs. We included 20 men and 5 women, aged from 10 to 74 years (mea...
Tuberculous pleural effusion (TBPE) is treatable and curable, and hence it is important to establish the diagnosis and initiate treatment early. However, its diagnosis is not straightforward and depends on the demonstration of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the pleural fluid or pleural biopsy specimen, or demonstration of caseating granulomas in the pleura. Due to the paucibacillary nature of th...
cases were reported in 2015, which accounted for 9.6% of the 32,181 new TB cases and 46.6% of the 6,631 extrapulmonary TB cases (Table 1). Tuberculous pleurisy is the most common form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and is the main cause of pleural effusion in Korea. In Korea, 3,089 new tuberculous pleurisy Progression of Tuberculous Pleurisy: From a Lymphocyte-Predominant Free-Flowing Effu...
The objective of the present study is to evaluate the use of pleural fluid ADA, cytology, pleural biopsy and Mantoux test in the diagnosis of tuberculous pleural effusion. This prospective study was conducted on 92 patients December 2011– October 2013 at Government Chest Diseases and Tuberculosis Hospital, Hanamkonda. Diagnostic accuracy of pleural fluid cytology (L/N ratio >0.75) , ADA >40 U/L...
Frequency-pulse-modulated electron capture gas-liquid chromatography was used in conjunction with appropriate derivatization procedures to obtain chromatograms from extracts of pleural effusions. These chromatograms were used to rapidly classify the various types of pleural effusions. With this method we have been able to distinguish among a limited number of effusions caused by congestive hear...
BACKGROUND Despite recent advances in methods for culturing Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), the diagnostic yield of tuberculous pleural effusion (TBPE) remains unsatisfactory. However, unlike repeated sputum cultures of pulmonary tuberculosis, little is known about the role of repeated pleural cultures. We examined whether repeated pleural cultures are associated with increased MTB yield from...
Tuberculosis (TB) is a re-emerging disease and an important cause of mortality. It manifests in two forms: pulmonary, which affects only the lungs, extrapulmonary, defined as bacteriologically confirmed or clinically diagnosed infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis that involves organs other than being pleural one most common. Extrapulmonary usually result hematogenous dissemination pulmonary ...
We have examined the distribution of B and T lymphocytes, T-cells with helper/inducer (T4+) or suppressor/cytotoxic (T8+) phenotypes and a subset of cells with natural killer (NK) activity and positive for the Leu 7 (HNK-1) surface antigen in peripheral blood and in lymphocyte-rich pleural effusions of patients with tuberculosis or malignancies (mesothelioma and lung cancer with pleural metasta...
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most common infectious diseases in developing countries including Nepal. Delay in diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis results in poor prognosis of the disease. This study was conducted to estimate diagnostic cut off values of Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and pleural fluid and to evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, positive and neg...
