Pulmonary Tuberculosis IV01:26

Pulmonary Tuberculosis IV

Tuberculosis, more commonly referred to as TB, is an infectious disease stemming from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While it primarily impacts the lungs, TB can also affect other body areas. Given its severity and global impact, timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial for controlling its spread and improving patient outcomes.
Several diagnostic approaches are used to detect TB. The conventional method is the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), also known as the Mantoux test. However, this method has...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis II

Tuberculosis, or TB, is a bacterial infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While its primary impact is on the lungs, leading to pulmonary tuberculosis, it can also affect various other organs, a condition referred to as extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
Here is a detailed explanation of its pathophysiology:
Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:
Pulmonary Tuberculosis V01:28

Pulmonary Tuberculosis V

Medical management of tuberculosis (TB) patients involves a comprehensive approach that includes diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. The specific strategies can vary depending on the type of tuberculosis (latent or active), the patient's overall health status, and other considerations.
Latent tuberculosis infection occurs when TB bacteria are present in a person's body, but are not causing illness or symptoms. It is not contagious, and preventive treatment is crucial to avoid the progression...
Pulmonary Tuberculosis I01:29

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I

Tuberculosis, often called TB, is a contagious illness primarily caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It mainly affects the lung parenchyma but can also impact other body parts.
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
Mode of...

Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health concern, primarily targeting the lungs and spreading through airborne transmission. Infection begins when aerosolized droplet nuclei, expelled by an individual with active TB, are inhaled by another person. These microscopic particles carry Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of TB. Upon reaching the alveoli, the bacilli are engulfed by alveolar macrophages. However, due to their specialized lipid-rich cell wall, these pathogens...

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Recurrent fever without localizing symptoms can be challenging to diagnose.
  • Splenic lesions on imaging require thorough investigation.
  • Tuberculosis (TB) can present with atypical manifestations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a rare case of isolated splenic tuberculosis.
  • To emphasize the diagnostic challenges and imaging findings.
  • To highlight the importance of histopathology in confirming rare diagnoses.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical presentation of a 36-year-old male with recurrent fever.
  • Diagnostic imaging including abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT).
  • Confirmation through splenic puncture and histopathological examination.

Main Results:

  • Initial laboratory tests were non-specific.
  • Abdominal ultrasonography showed splenomegaly with hypoechoic splenic lesions.
  • CT revealed a diffuse hypodense splenic lesion.
  • Histopathology confirmed isolated splenic tuberculosis.

Conclusions:

  • Isolated splenic tuberculosis is an uncommon manifestation of the disease.
  • Imaging findings like splenomegaly and splenic lesions warrant further investigation.
  • Splenic biopsy and histopathology are crucial for diagnosing rare splenic pathologies.
