Abstract:
The profoundly hypoxemic child presents an interesting set of diagnostic and management challenges in the pediatric emergency department. While common pathologies including pneumonia, asthma, bronchiolitis, and pneumothoraces are managed using evidence-based algorithms, more enigmatic pathologies may present the treating physician with less diagnostic and therapeutic clarity. We present the case of a profoundly hypoxemic 16-year-old girl who presented in minimal distress, with oxyhemoglobin saturation of 63% on room air.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
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.
