Brain Abscess l: Introduction01:26

Brain Abscess l: Introduction

A brain abscess is a focal, intracerebral infection characterized by a localized collection of pus within the brain parenchyma, resulting from microbial invasion and the body’s inflammatory response. It progresses through stages: early and late cerebritis, followed by early and late capsule formation, reflecting tissue destruction, immune response, and eventual encapsulation.Etiology and PathogenesisCausative organisms vary with source and host factors, often involving polymicrobial infections,...

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...

Acute Pyelonephritis II: Diagnostic Studies and Management

Introduction:For diagnosing acute pyelonephritis, a comprehensive patient history is collected to identify symptoms such as dysuria, frequent or urgent urination, flank pain, or costovertebral angle (CVA) tenderness that may suggest a kidney infection.Physical ExaminationDuring the physical examination, CVA tenderness is assessed. This involves gentle percussion over the costovertebral angle, where tenderness often indicates a kidney infection.Diagnostic TestsUrinalysis: Used to identify white...

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:

Urinary Tract Infection III: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

A healthcare provider can diagnose a urinary tract infection (UTI) through several methods:Medical History and Symptoms: The provider will take a detailed medical history and ask about symptoms such as frequent urination, burning sensation during urination, and lower abdominal pain.Urinalysis: A clean-catch urine sample is collected in a sterile container and tested for the presence of bacteria, white blood cells (leukocytes), nitrites, blood, and protein. The presence of leukocytes and...

Acute Pyelonephritis I: Introduction

Pyelonephritis is a bacterial infection that primarily affects the renal parenchyma and collecting system, including the renal pelvis, tubules, and interstitial tissue of one or both kidneys. It can be classified as either acute—a sudden, severe infection—or chronic, which refers to long-term or recurrent kidney infections.The primary cause of acute pyelonephritis (APN) is bacterial infection, with Escherichia coli accounting for approximately 70-80% of cases. Other bacteria, such as Proteus,...

A Retrospective Study on Endoscopic Surgery for the Treatment of Paravertebral Abscess in Spinal Tuberculosis Patients

Published on: October 25, 2024

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is a standard treatment for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.
  • BCG immunotherapy can have various side effects and complications.
  • Prostate abscess is a rare but serious condition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of tuberculous prostatitis with abscess following intravesical BCG immunotherapy.
  • To highlight the potential for BCG to cause disseminated or localized tuberculous infections.
  • To increase awareness among clinicians regarding this rare complication.

Main Methods:

  • Case presentation of a patient who developed acute prostatitis with abscess.
  • Review of the patient's medical history, including bladder cancer treatment with intravesical BCG.
  • Analysis of prostate biopsy results confirming tuberculous prostatitis.

Main Results:

  • The patient presented with symptoms of acute prostatitis and was found to have a prostate abscess.
  • Prostate biopsy confirmed the presence of tuberculosis (Mycobacterium bovis) and abscess formation.
  • The condition was linked to prior intravesical BCG immunotherapy for bladder cancer.

Conclusions:

  • Tuberculous prostatitis with abscess is a rare but possible complication of intravesical BCG therapy for bladder cancer.
  • Clinicians should consider tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of prostate abscess in patients treated with BCG.
  • Early recognition and appropriate treatment are crucial for managing this complication.
