Pulmonary Tuberculosis IV01:26

Pulmonary Tuberculosis IV

704
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 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...

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 II

2.1K
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 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.

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan01:13

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

625
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Hepatology

Background:

  • Hepatic tuberculosis (TB) presents a wide spectrum of imaging findings.
  • Disseminated TB typically shows multiple small liver nodules.
  • Isolated hepatic TB is rare but recognized.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To illustrate the multimodal imaging spectrum of hepatic involvement in tuberculosis (TB).
  • To highlight rare patterns of primary hepatic TB, including tubercular cholangitis and hypervascular masses.
  • To differentiate TB from other hepatic lesions on imaging.

Main Methods:

  • Review of imaging findings in patients with isolated and disseminated hepatic TB.
  • Analysis of sonography, CT, and MRI features.
  • Case-based illustration of diverse imaging patterns.

Main Results:

  • Hepatic TB exhibits varied imaging manifestations, often confused with neoplastic lesions.
  • Patterns include miliary TB, macronodular TB, serohepatic TB, and tubercular cholangitis.
  • Concurrent splenic, nodal, or pulmonary involvement aids diagnosis.

Conclusions:

  • Imaging is crucial for detecting and characterizing hepatic TB lesions.
  • Imaging helps assess complications associated with hepatic TB.
  • Histological or microbiological confirmation is often required.
