Workup
X-Ray
Mediastinal Mass
- We present an extremely rare case of a 62-year-old immunocompetent patient with pleural tuberculosis confirmed by surgical pleural biopsies, who presented with a large mediastinal mass and evidence of pulmonary artery invasion on CT scanning and endobronchial[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Left Pleural Effusion
- Chest x-ray demonstrated a left pleural effusion. Contrast-enhanced CT showed free abdominal fluid. Thoracentesis revealed a chylothorax, and paracentesis a chylous ascites.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Microbiology
Gram-Positive Rods
- Structure Nocardia organisms are Gram-positive rods, which in old cultures or clinical specimens may appear as branching chains resembling fungal hyphae.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The strains are strictly aerobic, nonmotile, non-spore-forming, acid-fast, Gram-positive rods. The colonies on 5% sheep blood agar are nonphotochromogenic and intermediate between smooth and rough.[bacterio.net]
Treatment
- Prompt identification of the underlying cause of HLH is important as it guides treatment decisions. Early initiation of appropriate treatment (eg, anti-TB treatment) reduces morbidity and mortality.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Three patients completed TB treatment. One patient, who was homeless at the time of diagnosis, began TB treatment but was lost to follow-up by DOHMH.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The emerging role of arthroscopy as a diagnostic and treatment modality for tuberculous monoarthritis of the knee is discussed. VI.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Abstract Although tuberculosis treatment is dependent on drug-susceptibility testing (DST) and molecular drug-resistance detection, treatment failure and relapse remain a challenge.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The wide range of presentations among patients with extrapulmonary tuberculosis can make diagnosis and treatment difficult.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
- Its prognosis is poor and optimal therapy has not been determined. Tuberculous meningitis has a high mortality in those also infected with HIV, especially in the developing world, and better therapies are urgently needed.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
