Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology

Context:

  • Endobronchial tuberculosis (TB) is a significant respiratory infection.
  • Female patients present unique diagnostic challenges.
  • Active TB requires prompt identification and treatment.

Purpose:

  • To describe the clinical presentation and diagnostic findings of active endobronchial tuberculosis in female patients.
  • To analyze the utility of bronchoscopy and microbiological tests in diagnosing endobronchial TB.
  • To report on the outcomes of treated patients.

Summary:

  • Ten female patients diagnosed with active endobronchial tuberculosis (TB) were analyzed.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed via Koch bacilli detection in bronchial washings or biopsy.

  • Common symptoms included persistent cough, wheezing, dyspnea, dysphonia, and fever. Bronchoscopy revealed characteristic caseum, and Koch bacilli were identified in all washings.
  • Chest X-rays showed varied findings, including normal scans, condensation, and superior lobe infiltration.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the clinical spectrum of endobronchial TB in women.
    • Emphasizes the importance of bronchoscopy and microbiological analysis for accurate diagnosis.
    • Provides data for improved clinical management strategies for endobronchial TB.
