Several studies have compared the diagnostic value of sputum induction (SI) with flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) in diagnosing pulmonary tuberculosis; however, these investigations yield an inconsistent conclusion. This study aims to evaluate the role of acid-fast bacilli (AFB) testing of SI and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples in suspected pulmonary tuberculosis cases.

Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and most commonly occurs in the lung. Only 10-15% of all cases of tuberculosis occur outside the respiratory system. Whereas secondary tuberculosis of the tonsil, where there is sputum-positive pulmonary TB, has been well documented, primary tuberculosis of the tonsil without pulmonary TB is rare, and only a few cases have been reported up to now.

This case highlights the significance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of pericardial effusion and underscores the role of imaging and laboratory investigations in diagnosis. Management of tuberculous pericarditis involves a combination of antituberculous chemotherapy, pericardiocentesis, and corticosteroids.

Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) not only presented in autoimmune diseases but also in some chronic infectious diseases like tuberculosis, leprosy, malaria, syphilis... The detection of ANA is very important in diagnosis, follow up of treatment, especially in systemic diseases.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is primarily known to affect the lungs with cavitary lesions and enlarged lymph nodes as the first telltale sign. However, if the bacteria spread to extrapulmonary areas such as the bones, and lack lymphadenopathy, then the differential diagnosis may become misleading.

There is ample evidence indicating that immunosuppressive therapy or immune dysregulation in systemic lupus erythematosus increases the risk for tuberculosis. Interestingly, a few case reports suggest that tuberculosis could also be a risk factor for systemic lupus erythematosus and other autoimmune diseases.

Primary psoas tuberculosis is the presence of “Koch’s bacillus’’ within the iliopsoas muscle caused by hematogenous or lymphatic seeding from a distant site. Muscular tuberculosis has relatively low prevalence in comparison with other cases of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, which explains the difficulties in establishing the diagnosis.

Caprine tuberculosis (TB) is a zoonosis caused by members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). Caprine TB control and eradication programmes have traditionally been based on intradermal tuberculin tests and slaughterhouse surveillance. However, this strategy has limitations in terms of sensitivity and specificity.

Tuberculosis (TB) may facilitate carcinogenesis. We performed a case-control study of the association between TB and cancer in Xinjiang, a high TB endemic area of China. Patients with active and previous TB before the diagnosis of cancer were retrospectively identified in the two groups.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an ancient communicable disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In India, RNTCP (Revised national tuberculosis control program) now known as NTEP (National tuberculosis elimination program) endorsed diagnostic steps to diagnose TB infection and disease are followed. To study the diagnostic efficacy of GeneXpert in comparison to various staining techniques in patients suspected of pulmonary tuberculosis.

Mixed infections of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and antibiotic heteroresistance continue to complicate tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis and treatment. Detection of mixed infections has been limited to molecular genotyping techniques, which lack the sensitivity and resolution to accurately estimate the multiplicity of TB infections.

Tuberculosis (TB), particularly multi- and or extensive drug resistant TB, is still a global medical emergency. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is a current alternative to the WHO-approved probe-based methods for TB diagnosis and detection of drug resistance, genetic diversity and transmission dynamics of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC).

Drug resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) remains a global health problem. The diagnosis, treatment, and management of DR-TB are the major challenges to Vietnam National Tuberculosis Control Program. One of the most important solutions for overcoming this problem is developing reliable and low-cost methods, which have been proposed to Drug Susceptibility Testing (DST) to detect drug resistant tuberculosis. The methods have to be reasonably simple so that they can be widely used in provincial Lung hospitals.

Radial endobronchial ultrasound in diagnosing peripheral lung lesions in a high tuberculosis setting
Current data for the utility of radial endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) in investigating peripheral lung lesions (PLLs) has been restricted to populations with low pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) incidence. The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic utility of radial EBUS with guide sheath in the diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions in Singapore, a high TB incidence setting.

Active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is associated with intra-hospital spread of the disease. Expeditious diagnosis and isolation are critical for infection control. However, factors that lead to delayed isolation of smearpositive pulmonary TB patients, especially among the elderly, have not been reported.
