Pediatric pleural tuberculosis

International Journal of Mycobacteriology, 2018
Pleural tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis is sometimes controversial because the microbiologic confirmation ratio is very low in pleural fluid. There are few pediatric pleural TB case series in the literature.We retrospectively evaluated our TB cases below 18 years of age and extracted pleural TB cases.Seven cases with pleural TB were identified. About 42.9%

The use of real-time polymerase chain reaction and an adenosine deaminase assay for diagnosing pleural tuberculosis

African Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2019
Background: The diagnosis of pleural tuberculosis remains a challenge, because the most widely used conventional diagnostic tools are unable to rapidly detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis in pleural fluid with sufficient sensitivity.

Comparison between the diagnostic accuracy of Xpert MTB/Rif assay and culture for pleural tuberculosis using tissue biopsy

ERJ Open Research, 2019
Background Early diagnosis of pleural tuberculosis is difficult as it is a paucibacillary disease and a combination of tests is required to diagnose it, which have varied diagnostic accuracy and increase the cost.

The diagnostic utility of pleural markers for tuberculosis pleural effusion. [PDF]

Ann Transl Med, 2020
Tuberculosis pleural effusion (TPE) is common in clinical practice, and its diagnosis remains a challenge for clinicians. Ziehl-Neelsen staining, PE Mycobacterium tuberculosis culture, and biopsy are the gold standards for TPE diagnosis; however, they ...

Tuberculosis Masquerading as Behcet's Disease-Pseudo Bechet's Syndrome: A Case-Based Review of Literature. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
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 ...
