Summary
Pulmonary lymphatic disorders, including plastic bronchitis and chylothorax, involve abnormal thoracic lymphatic fluid flow. Advanced imaging and minimally invasive treatments offer new hope for patients with these complex conditions.
Area of Science:
- Thoracic medicine
- Pulmonary medicine
- Lymphatic imaging
Background:
- Pulmonary lymphatic disorders encompass conditions affecting thoracic lymphatic tissues.
- Pulmonary lymphatic perfusion syndrome is characterized by redirected lymphatic fluid flow towards widened lymphatic vessels.
- Symptoms include chyloptysis, plastic bronchitis, chylothorax, chylopericardium, and interstitial lung disease.

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...

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:
