Abstract:

AbstractAbdominal tuberculosis has insidious course and is a diagnostic challenge. Tubercular lymphadenitis is associated with constitutional symptoms and multiple enlarged lymph nodes. Isolated giant lymph nodes are rare in tuberculosis and are common in lymphoma or malignancy. Peripancreatic mass on endosonography are commonly lymph node less than 4 cm. Isolated giant nonnecrotizing lymph node can mimic liver architecture on endoscopic ultrasound but lack a biliary connection.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction: Tubercular lymphadenitis which comes under Extra-pulmonary Tuberculosis (EPTB) has been affecting mankind since ancient times. Peripheral lymph node involvement is the commonest form of EPTB among which cervical lymph nodes are most frequently affected. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the demographic, clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of peripheral lymph node Tuberculosis cases in a rural tertiary health care centre. Methods: The study was conducted prospectively at Prathima Institute of Medical Sciences, Nagunur, Karimnagar between January 2021 to August 2022. Pathologically confirmed cases of lymph node Tuberculosis were assessed and followed up. Results: 24 cases of lymph node TB were included with 83.3% females and 16.6% males (p=0.02) with a mean age of 32.6 ± 15.24 years. The mean age among males was 37 ± 15.59 years and among females was 31.75 ± 15.24 years. 58.3% were from rural areas. All of them presented with a history of swelling, 37.5% had a fever, 50% had a loss of appetite and 54.1% had a loss of weight. 8% had a past history of tuberculosis. 79.1% had cervical swelling and 20.8% had axillary swelling. 83.3% had multiple lymph nodes and 33.3% had lymph node matting. Three cases were lost to follow-up, 79% improved with standard anti-Tuberculosis treatment (ATT) and one case died during treatment. Conclusion: Lymph node TB is still prevalent in TB endemic countries and has to be considered first in the differential diagnosis of peripheral lymph node swellings.

Abstract:

Abstract BACKGROUND. Lymph node tuberculosis is a pathology with an increasing incidence and prevalence in middle income countries. MATERIAL AND METHODS. We present a series of 4 cases with cervical lymph node tuberculosis. We review current principles of diagnosis and treatment from the perspective of the ENT surgeon in a tertiary university clinic. RESULTS. In each case we underline diagnosis difficulties and treatment options. These cases presented management difficulties due to associated morbidities. All cases underwent surgical excision of the afflicted lymph nodes with subsequent microscopic confirmation of tuberculosis. We illustrate key concepts leading to the microscopy diagnosis of lymph node tuberculosis. CONCLUSION. There are various surgical incidents and accidents that the young surgeon must be aware of when approaching neck tuberculous lymph nodes. Further referral of the patient for long-term tuberculosis treatment is mandatory. All patients were supervised for a minimum of 1 year after the initial diagnosis and treatment with no sign of recurrence. A close cooperation between the ENT surgeon, the infectious disease specialist and the pathologist is the key to an optimum approach to lymph node tuberculosis at the head and neck level.

Abstract:

Coexistence of breast cancer and tuberculosis is rare. In most cases, involvement by tuberculosis occurs in axillary lymph nodes. We report a case of a 43-years-old patient who had undergone adenomastectomy and left sentinel lymph node biopsy due to a triple negative ductal carcinoma. At the end of adjuvant treatment, the patient had an atypical lymph node in the left axilla. Lymph node was excised, and after laboratory analysis, the diagnosis was ganglion tuberculosis. The patient underwent treatment for primary tuberculosis. The development of these two pathologies can lead to problems in diagnosis and treatment. An accurate diagnosis is important to avoid unnecessary surgical procedures.

Abstract:

Lymph node tuberculosis is a common clinical bacterial infectious disease. Regional lymph node tuberculosis is often difficult to cure by surgically radical resection. In addition, its recurrence rate is higher, and it can easily cause lymphatic leakage. This case was considered to have left axillary lymph node tuberculosis. A combination of clinical examination, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging examinations were performed before surgery. The surgical procedure performed was left axillary lymph node excision. Postoperative pathology confirmed the lymph node tuberculosis. The patient was given anti-tuberculosis drug treatment with no recurrence after 6 months follow-up. This provides new ideas and methods for the clinical treatment of regional lymph node tuberculosis.

Abstract:

Extra pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a serious problem in developing countries. The prevalence of extra pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is higher in immunocompromised, especially human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infected patients. The most common site of extra pulmonary tuberculosis is lymph node followed by pleura. Lymph nodes are pivotal component of immune system and hence they are affected in various conditions like infections, autoimmune disorder, malignancy However, tubercular affliction of submandibular lymph node is not common. Only a few cases of tubercular submandibular abscess in immune-competent children have been reported in literature. Here we report a case of two-year old girl with non-healing multiple submandibular lymph node abscess presenting as a primary tuberculosis that proved diagnostically challenging. She responded favourably to a five drug anti-tubercular regimen.

Abstract:

Background: Surgical referrals for lymph node biopsies are common, majority for diagnostic purposes. The indications and the diagnostic yield vary for different sites. We conducted an audit of the lymph node biopsies done over a period of seven months.Methods: The audit included 547 patients who underwent lymph node biopsies under local anesthesia in the department of general surgery over a seven-month period. Parameters such as overall diagnostic yield of lymph node biopsies, disease specific yield of lymph node biopsies with a primary focus on tuberculosis; site specific yield of lymph node biopsies and referral pattern for the request for lymph node biopsies were analysed.Results: 324 samples (59.2%) yielded a definite diagnosis, which included haematological malignancy 102 (31.5%), infectious diseases 131 (40.5%), and 59 (18.5%) malignancy. The diagnostic yield of supraclavicular lymph nodes was found to be highest (72.45%) and the axillary group the lowest (39.8%). The referral pattern seen was 314 (57.4%) from General medicine, 149 (27.2%) from General Surgery, and 84 (15.4%) from Haematology. 130 (23.8%) samples were tested for tuberculosis; the highest yield, acquired from the cervical group (52.8%), lowest from the inguinal region (4%).Conclusions: Our audit revealed significant diagnostic yield of lymph node biopsies from the supraclavicular region. Majority of them were of infectious aetiology and referred from General Medicine. This study supports the introduction of co-ordinated problem-based referral and management pathways for the management of patients with enlarged superficial lymph nodes, supported by regular audits of practice.

Abstract:

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is an aerobic bacillus responsible for tuberculous infection. The the thyroid gland being affected by MTB is a rare condition. A 71-year-old woman had 6 months of slight cervical discomfort. Her neck ultrasound showed, at the right lobe of the thyroid, a dominant heterogeneous nodule of 18 mm and homolateral lymph nodes with suspicious ultrasonographic features. The patient underwent fine-needle aspiration, the results of which were non-diagnostic (thyroid nodule) and reactive pattern (lymph node). A total thyroidectomy was performed and a lymph node was sampled for extemporaneous examination. Surprisingly, necrotising granulomas were documented. The diagnosis was definitely established by a positive culture of the lymph node tissue and molecular detection of MTB. Pulmonary involvement was excluded and she was started on antituberculous agents. In the absence of systemic, specific complaints or history of exposition, histopathology and culture of MTB remain a key step for the diagnosis.

Abstract:

A research report submitted to the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Witwatersrand, in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Medicine in the branch of Internal Medicine Johannesburg, 2015
Lymphadenopathy is a common clinical presentation of disease in South Africa (SA), particularly in the era of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and tuberculosis (TB) coinfection. Methods Data from 560 lymph node biopsy reports of specimens from patients older than 12 years at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital (CHBAH) between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2012 was extracted from the National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS), division of Anatomical Pathology. Cytology reports of lymph node fine needle aspirates (FNAs) performed prior to lymph node biopsy in 203 patients were also extracted from the NHLS. Consent was not obtained from participants for their records to be used as patient information was anonymized and de-identified prior to analysis. Results The majority of patients were female (55%) and of the African/black racial group (90%). The median age of patients was 40 years (range12-94). The most common indication for biopsy was an uncertain diagnosis (more than two differential diagnoses entertained), followed by a suspicion for lymphoma, carcinoma and TB. Overall, malignancy constituted the largest biopsy pathology group (39%), with 36% of this group being carcinoma and 27% non-Hodgkin lymphoma. 22% of the total sampled nodes displayed necrotizing granulomatous inflammation (including histopathology and cytology demonstrating definite, and suspicious for mycobacterial infection), 8% comprised HIV reactive nodes; in the remainder no specific pathology was identified (nonspecific reactive lymphoid hyperplasia). Kaposi sarcoma (KS) accounted for 3% of lymph node pathology in this sample. Concomitant lymph node pathology was diagnosed in four cases of nodal KS (29% of the subset). The co-existing pathologies were TB and Castleman disease. HIV-positive patients constituted 49% of this study sample and the majority (64%) of this subset had CD4 counts less than 350 cells/ul. 27% were HIVnegative and in the remaining nodes, the HIV status of patients was unknown. The most common lymph node pathologies in HIV-positive patients were Mycobacterial infection (31%), HIV reactive nodes (15%), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (15%) and nonspecific reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (15%). Only 9% were of Hodgkin lymphoma. In contrast, the most common lymph node pathologies in HIV-negative patients were nonspecific reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (45%), carcinoma (25%) and Mycobacterial infection (11%). In this group, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma constituted 9% and 8%, respectively. There were more cases of high-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the HIV-positive group compared to the HIV-negative group. FNA and lymph node biopsy had excellent agreement with regard to Hodgkin lymphoma (K 0.774, SE 0.07, 95% CI 0.606-0.882, p=0.001), and good agreement with regard to non-Hodgkin lymphoma (K 0.640, SE 0.07, 95% CI 0.472-0.807, p=0.001), carcinoma (K 0.723, SE 0.069, 95% CI 0.528-0.918, p=0.001), and mycobacterial infection (K 0.726, SE 0.07, 95% CI 0.618-0.833, p=0.001). Conclusions The most common lymph node pathologies in CHBAH are malignancies, nonspecific reactive lymphoid hyperplasia, necrotizing granulomatous inflammation and HIV reactive nodes. The distribution of disease differed in HIV-positive patients. Overall, adequate FNA samples of lymph nodes have been found to have good correlation with lymph node biopsy findings in our setting.

Abstract:

O objetivo do presente estudo é classificar e caracterizar os fatores de risco que comprometem o tratamento da tuberculose ganglionar em um hospital de referência na cidade de Fortaleza (Ceará, Brasil) no período de 1 de janeiro de 2010 a 31 de dezembro de 2015. Foram selecionados todos os indivíduos que tiveram diagnóstico de tuberculose ganglionar atendidos e internados no Hospital São José, no período acima citado. A prevalência nos indivíduos coinfectados com o Vírus de Imunodeficiencia Humana predominou em homens (61,4%), com predomínio de casos na faixa etária de 20 a 30 anos. Dos indivíduos estudados, 64,2% terminaram o tratamento. Quanto à letalidade, 14% dos pacientes foram a óbito. Provavelmente indicando maior gravidade da doença no grupo coinfectado. Os fatores de risco que podem comprometer o tratamento da TB ganglionar encontrados foram: a coinfecção com Vírus de Imunodeficiencia Humana, a multirresistência, o abandono do tratamento e paciente em situação de risco social. Nos indivíduos estudados, 3,3% apresentaram resistência a Rifampicina o que reduz as disponibilidades terapêuticas. Esses resultados fornecem informações importantes para o estabelecimento de estratégias de políticas de saúde pública.
The objective of the present study is to classify and characterize the risk factors that compromise the treatment of ganglionic tuberculosis in a referral hospital in the city of Fortaleza (Ceará, Brazil) from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2015. We selected all individuals who had been diagnosed with lymph node tuberculosis treated and hospitalized at the São José Hospital, during the period mentioned above. Prevalence among Human Immunodeficiency Virus coinfected individuals predominated in men (61.4%), with prevalence in the 20-30 age group. Of the individuals studied, 64.2% finished treatment. Regarding lethality, 14% of patients died. Probably indicating greater severity of the disease in the coinfected group. The risk factors that compromise the treatment of ganglionic tuberculosis are found to be: co-infection with Human Immunodeficiency Virus, multidrug resistance, abandonment of treatment and patients at social risk. In the studied individuals, 3.3% presented resistance to rifampicin, which reduces the availability of therapeutics. These results provide important information for the establishment of public health policy strategies.

Abstract:

Magister Scientiae Dentium - MSc(Dent)
Tuberculosis is the world’s leading cause of death from a single infective agent. The World Health Organisation has declared the disease a “global emergency”. Extrapulmonary presentations form a major proportion of new cases, especially since the advent of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome epidemic. Therefore, it is important that oral health care workers are aware of tuberculosis in the head and neck region and its varied manifestations. This study reports on one hundred and four patients diagnosed with tuberculosis and with head and neck tuberculosis lesions.The aim of the study was to determine the extent to which tuberculosis presents in the head and neck region. It was a descriptive, retrospective, record-based study on a cohort of tuberculosis patients that presented with head and neck tuberculosis at private practices in the Durban area over a fourteen month period. A structured data capture sheet was the method chosen for recording the data.The majority of the sample (89.4%) had tuberculosis of the head and neck lymph nodes, five (4.8%) had tuberculosis of the tonsil, two (1.9%) had tuberculosis of the larynx, two (1.9%) had tuberculosis of the ear, one (1%) had parotid gland tuberculosis and one (1%) had tuberculosis of the nose. The records indicate that excision biopsy and histopathological examinations were used to make a diagnosis. A third (33.7%) of the patients were confirmed with human immunodeficiency virus infection.A high index of suspicion of tuberculosis is important in the differential diagnosis of neck swellings, hoarseness and otorrhoea and in human immunodeficiency virus positive patients with an enlarging neck mass. A biopsy is usually necessary for diagnosis. Successful outcome depends upon appropriate chemotherapy and timely surgical intervention when necessary. Oral health care workers need to be fully cognizant of all the various presentations of head and neck tuberculosis to allow early diagnosis and quick commencement of appropriate treatment.

Full text

Abstract:

Pleural tuberculosis (TB) is the second most common extra-pulmonary form of TB, following tuberculous lymphadenitis. Pleural TB is most likely to occur due to the rupture of a subpleural caseous focus within the lung or, sometimes, due to the spread of infection from a lymph node into the pleural space. In pleural TB, it has been found that the delayed type of hypersensitivity (DTH) is responsible for the development of pleural effusion. Clinical manifestations mainly include pleuritic chest pain, nonproductive cough, anorexia, weight loss, night sweats, and in severe cases, dyspnea. Manifestations of pleural TB among HIV individuals depend on the CD4 count. A chest radiograph is the initial mode of investigation and is confirmed by USG thorax. Pleural fluid analysis helps in diagnosing and ruling out other causes of pleural TB. Levels of ADA and interferon gamma are helpful in establishing the diagnosis of pleural TB. Pleural biopsy culture, in combination with histopathological and molecular methods, can diagnose up to 95% of pleural TB. Anti-tuberculous drugs are the mainstay of therapy and the duration of treatment is 6 months. The role of corticosteroids is limited to certain situations only. Residual pleural fibrosis is the most common complication, while TB empyema is a severe form of complication.

Full text

Abstract:

The association of pulmonary tuberculosis and Behçet’s disease revealed by an aneurysm of the humeral artery is exceptional with a complicated management. We report a case in which the two conditions occurred concomitantly with the vascular complication, apart from any use of immunosuppressive therapy, something that has never been reported in the literature. We report an extremely rare case of a spontaneous rupture of an aneurysm of the humeral artery of a 29-year-old woman, with no history. The patient underwent axillo-humeral bypass. Investigations concluded the diagnosis of Behçet’s disease associated with pulmonary and lymph node tuberculosis. Anti-tuberculous chemotherapy followed by corticosteroids, immunosuppressants and colchicine have been administrated. Based on this observation, we insist on the necessity of searching the symptoms of Behçet’s disease in the presence of arterial involvement when having a young patient. Therapeutic management must include medical treatment to control inflammation and limit the risk of recurrence. Endovascular or surgical treatment is necessary if the arterial involvement is threatening. The association with tuberculosis complicates management and requires close monitoring.

Abstract:

Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) is a diagnostic procedure that allows for the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer and other lung-related diseases such as tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, and sarcoma. The radial probe for the EBUS device was first introduced to visualize the inside of the lungs and airway structures, and identify the extent of tumor invasion in the airway and surrounding lymph nodes. The EBUS transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) is an acceptable first test in the pretreatment staging of lung cancer to appropriately understand the prognosis for curative therapies. In the future, EBUS is likely to become widely available and accessible to patients, given its low cost and minimal risk of complications compared to other diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The development of more advanced EBUS technologies, such as radial EBUS, virtual bronchoscopy, fluorescence-guided bronchoscopy, and artificial intelligence will allow for improved visualization of the lungs and adequate lymph node yield, leading to more accurate diagnoses and better treatment outcomes. In conclusion, the future of EBUS modalities combined with the additions of bronchoscopic advances is expected to further improve the accuracy and precision of the procedure while limiting morbidity, and complications, and improving clinical workflow availability in the outpatient setting.

Abstract:

Tuberculosis causes morbidity in millions of people per year and is one of the top 10 causes of mortality worldwide. Though pulmonary TB is the commonest form, extra–pulmonary Tuberculosis (EPTB) carries its fair share of morbidity and mortality. The various extra–pulmonary sites are lymph nodes, intestines, bone, joints, meninges, skin, genitourinary tract. Cutaneous tuberculosis (CTB), though accounts for only 1–2% of extra–pulmonary TB (EPTB) cases, is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in developing countries because of high prevalence and huge population. The various types of CTB include Tuberculosis verrucose cutis (TBVC), Tuberculous chancre, Lupus vulgaris, Scrofuloderma, Orificial Tuberculosis, Tuberculous gumma and Acute miliary Tuberculosis. CTB follows a wide immunological spectrum ranging from low immunity with high bacillary load to high immunity with low bacillary load. The diagnostic techniques like Histopathology, AFB staining, TB Culture and molecular PCR testing remains the mainstay for diagnosis importance of whom may vary type to type basis of CTB.

Abstract:

Tuberculous lymphadenitis is the infection of lymph nodes by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In the USA, about 8.5% of the cases of tuberculosis (TB) were characterized by lymphadenitis. The peak occurs between 30 and 40 years of age, primarily in women. Extrapulmonary TB is usually diagnosed in immunocompromised patients. The diagnosis is given by positivity in the AFB (Alcohol-Acid Resistant Bacillus) in Ziehl-Neelsen staining by sample collected by fine-needle puncture or lymph node excision. Cyto and histological analysis demonstrate epithelial cells, caseous necrosis, and necrotic cells. Such findings, added to the presence of langerhan’s giant cells, favor the diagnosis of TB even in AFB and/or negative cultures. Mantoux test is usually positive. Culture is the definitive diagnosis. Surgical excision should be reserved for diagnostic in HIV-seronegative patients. The picture involves progressive and painless growth of the lymph node chain, which may reach 8–10 cm. One-sidedness occurs in most cases. Peripheral lymphadenopathy is common among breast pathologies. The case is unusual due to the suspicion of axillary lymphadenopathy being of neoplastic origin from compatible histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis of a core biopsy. However, after the excision of lymph node clusters, histopathology showed the absence of tumor and metastatic cells. The analysis of slides with palisaded epithelioid granulomas and caseous necrosis, however, is consistent with TB lymphadenopathy. However, some points made such a verdict difficult such as negative fungal and alcohol-acid-resistant bacilli (AFB) research, as well as the presence of lymphadenopathy in the contra lateral armpit and inguinal chains, the absence of cervical lymph node enlargement and any other suggestive symptoms of associated extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. The other possibilities include non-TB mycobacteria, Bartonella sp, fungi (Histoplasma) and parasites (Toxoplasma gondii), lymphomas, sarcomas, metastatic carcinomas, sarcoidosis, cat-scratch disease, and congenital lymphatic malformations. Treatment should be performed after the confirmation of diagnosis or when susceptibility to antimicrobials is suspected (empirical treatment). In the first 2 months of the treatment, Isoniazid, Rifampicin, Pyrazinamide, and Ethambutol were used; followed by 4 months of Isoniazid and Rifampicin. The guidelines recommend surgical excision only in unusual situations, such as therapeutic failure. Ulceration, fistulas, and abscesses are complications. A 26-year-old female, nursing mother, breastfeeding only through the left breast due to a history of clefts in the right breast and with a family history of breast cancer, was referred to the breast service due to the appearance of painless nodules in her right armpit with progressive growth. Previously, she had been treated with Amoxicillin and Azithromycin, with no change in her condition. On physical examination, a lymph node aggregate was found in the right axilla. She underwent ultrasound and mammography examinations, which showed lymph nodes, measuring 2.9×1.3, 2×1.4, and 1.3×0.8 cm in the right armpit, compatible with BI-RADS IVc classification. It was decided to suppress lactation with Cabergoline and proceed with core biopsy, which showed fibrofatty tissue with chronic inflammation and epithelioid granuloma in the anatomopathological examination, and immunohistochemistry showed the markers CKM (AE1/AE3/PCK26), GATA-3 (L50-823), and Mamoglobin A (304-1A5) all negative, compatible with metastasis of primary breast cancer. After discussion, it was decided to proceed with the removal of the fused lymph nodes at level I of the right axilla. The histopathological diagnosis showed epithelioid and palisade granulomas with caseous necrosis in the lymph nodes, with negative BAAR research. Also, laboratory examinations for syphilis, HIV, HCV, and HBV were all negative and a clean chest x-ray. This patient will start treatment for TB.

Abstract:

Introduction: Lymphadenitis, also previously called “scrofula,” is the most common cause of manifestation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB), an extremely prevalent disease in underdeveloped regions, causing millions of deaths around the world. This is why it must be recognized and treated as early as possible. Objective: This review aims to summarize the main topics of tuberculous lymphadenitis (TL), covering epidemiology, clinical, and recent treatments. Methods: This article consists of a review of publications on the subject. The research was carried out through SciELO, PubMed, and LILACS databases, as well as virtual scientific libraries such as DynaMed and UpToDate. Results: TL is the infection of lymph nodes caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and it is the most common type of extrapulmonary TB, mainly in endemic areas. Worldwide, there is an increase in the incidence of TB in developed and underdeveloped countries, resulting in millions of deaths per year. Its relationship with HIV and the consequent development of extrapulmonary forms has been increasingly common, representing about 21% of TB cases in the United States. The main extrapulmonary TB sites are as follows: lymph nodes, pleura, meninges, bones, miliary, and disseminated. In HIV patients, atypical presentations are not uncommon. The clinical picture consists of slow lymph node growth, generally affecting the cervical region and may affect other sites; signs and symptoms of the primary TB may also be present. The diagnosis of TL is made by culture or molecular identification of M. tuberculosis in the tissue of the affected lymph node, which can be approached by excision or by fine-needle biopsy. The anatomopathological findings are giant epithelioid cells, granulomas, and caseous necrosis. Treatment should be started empirically according to the clinic, awaiting laboratory confirmation, and its first line consists of the first 2 months with RHZE (Rifampicin, Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide, and Ethambutol), followed by 4 months of Isoniazid and Rifampicin. Paradoxical worsening after starting the therapy is one of the complications, usually occurring 8 weeks after starting the treatment. Management should be monitored on an outpatient basis, with cure occurring in up to 94% of the cases. Conclusion: TL is one of the main manifestations of extrapulmonary TB, closely related to coinfection with HIV. It should be promptly investigated in patients with a compatible clinical presentation and present in endemic areas. Its treatment, despite long duration, cures the vast majority of cases and reduces the overall morbidity and mortality of properly treated patients.
