Maxillofacial Squamous Cell Carcinoma With Cervical Metastasis and Tuberculous Lymphadenitis: Diagnostic Dilemmas and Clinical Insights. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Maxillofacial squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) typically metastasizes to lymph nodes, yet coexisting tuberculous lymphadenitis is extraordinarily rare, posing diagnostic challenges. Case A 68‐year‐old female with right maxillofacial SCC and ipsilateral lymphadenopathy underwent radical resection and selective neck dissection after ...

Extensive Lymphadenopathy in an HIV-Negative Patient With Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis. [PDF]
Extensive lymphadenopathy is uncommon in HIV‐negative patients with tuberculosis. This clinical image highlights the striking CT appearance of extensive extrapulmonary lymph node involvement in symptomatic multidrug‐resistant tuberculosis, even in the absence of HIV infection. ABSTRACT Tuberculous lymphadenitis is generally more severe in patients with

Tuberculosis Masquerading as Behcet's Disease-Pseudo Bechet's Syndrome: A Case-Based Review of Literature. [PDF]
We report a case of recurrent oral/scrotal ulcers with systemic symptoms in a 33‐year‐old man masked pulmonary tuberculosis: imaging showed cavitary consolidations with effusion, and thoracoscopic pleural biopsy demonstrated acid‐fast bacilli. Anti‐tubercular therapy led to complete resolution, underscoring TB as a key Behçet's mimic to exclude before ...

Clinical periodontal diagnosis
Abstract Periodontal diseases include pathological conditions elicited by the presence of bacterial biofilms leading to a host response. In the diagnostic process, clinical signs such as bleeding on probing, development of periodontal pockets and gingival recessions, furcation involvement and presence of radiographic bone loss should be assessed prior ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Concentration of lymph node aspirate improves the sensitivity of acid fast smear microscopy for the diagnosis of tuberculous lymphadenitis in Jimma, southwest Ethiopia. [PDF]
Tuberculous lymphadenitis (TBLN) is the most common form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. The cytomorphological features of lymph node smears have reduced specificity for the diagnosis of tuberculosis.
