Pulmonary Tuberculosis II01:28

Pulmonary Tuberculosis II

202
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...

Amyloid Fibrils03:03

Amyloid Fibrils

9.1K
Amyloid fibrils are aggregates of misfolded proteins.  Under most circumstances, misfolded proteins are either refolded by chaperone proteins or degraded by the proteasome. However, in the case of a mutation or a disease, these proteins can accumulate to form large clusters and often further assemble to form elongated fibers, called fibrils. 
Amyloid deposits were observed as early as 1639 in the liver and the spleen.   In 1854, Rudolph Virchow performed iodine staining,...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

74
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:

  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Pathology
  • Rare Diseases

Background:

  • Amyloidosis involves abnormal protein folding, leading to amyloid fibril accumulation in organs.
  • Pulmonary involvement in amyloidosis is rare, presenting as nodular, diffuse alveolar-septal, or tracheobronchial forms.

Observation:

  • A 60-year-old woman with a history of pleural tuberculosis presented with progressive dyspnea.
  • A chest CT scan identified a pulmonary nodule in the middle lobe.

Findings:

  • CT-guided biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of pulmonary amyloidosis.
  • Histological examination was crucial for identifying the amyloid deposits.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a rare presentation of pulmonary amyloidosis.
  • Early diagnosis and histological confirmation are vital for managing this condition.
