UNLABELLED Tuberculous meningitis represents one of the most severe forms of tuberculosis and is often a difficult diagnostic and therapeutic problem. The objective of this study is to analyze the cases of tuberculous meningitis in our region. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 76 observation sheets of patients aged 4 months to 84 years, diagnosed with tuberculous meningitis, ad...
Tuberculosis involving the soft tissue as extending from adjacent bone or joint is well recognized. However, the primary tuberculous pyomyositis is rare. Due to atypical presentation the diagnosis is often delayed. We report one case of primary tuberculous pyomyositis of the thigh in an immunocompromised patient. Tuberculous myositis should be suspicioned, in immunocompromised patients with une...
The rise in adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity in the pleural fluid of tuberculous pleurisy patients, though used for diagnosis, is of unknown origin. In this work, we determined ADA activity and the activities of 2'-deoxyadenosine deaminase and ADA-2 in 350 patients. We also considered whether the results throw light on the origin of high pleural fluid ADA in tuberculous pleurisy and estimated...
OBJECTIVES To compare the clinical and laboratory features of tuberculous meningitis with bacterial meningitis and to determine if protein glucose ratio in the cerebrospinal fluid can be predictive of the condition. METHODS It was a retrospective descriptive study at the Paediatric Ward of Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, for which records of 46 patients with tuberculous meningitis and ...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Tuberculous lymphadenitis and metastatic nodes from nasopharyngeal carcinoma are common in Asians and are often indistinguishable clinically. Because their treatment depends on prompt diagnosis, we undertook this study to evaluate if power Doppler sonography could distinguish these two pathologic abnormalities. The intranodal vascular appearances of tuberculous neck nodes...
BACKGROUND WHO recommends Xpert MTB/RIF as initial diagnostic testing for tuberculous meningitis. However, diagnosis remains difficult, with Xpert sensitivity of about 50-70% and culture sensitivity of about 60%. We evaluated the diagnostic performance of the new Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra (Xpert Ultra) for tuberculous meningitis. METHODS We prospectively obtained diagnostic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF...
Expandable metallic stents seemed to be a good method in tuberculous bronchial stenosis that does not respond to medical therapy. But there was no long-term follow-up study after stents insertion in tuberculous bronchial stenosis. We report a case of obstruction after successful Gianturco metallic stents insertion due to tuberculous bronchial stenosis.
treatment of a tuberculous aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta in a young patient. A 28-year old male patient was diagnosed with a mycotic aortic tuberculous aneurysm (Fig. 1A) and a thoracic endoprosthesis was implanted. An additional 6-month course of tuberculostatic drugs was completed. After 24 months of follow-up, the patient remains asymptomatic with no evidence of infection recurre...
A 5 year old girl with tuberculous meningitis developed progressive visual failure during in-patient anti-tuberculous chemotherapy due to an ophthochiasmatic tuberculoma. This was successfully managed by prolonged high-dose corticosteroids and continued anti-tuberculous therapy resulting in complete visual and psychosocial recovery.
We studied the activity of adenosine deaminase in the peritoneal fluid of 66 patients who were divided into five groups according to causes of ascites as follows: tuberculous peritonitis (group I), septic peritonitis (group II), secondary to malignant tumours (group III), miscellaneous conditions (group IV), and control subjects of transudates (group V). In patients with tuberculous peritonitis...
