In pulmonary TB there is transient systemic immunosuppression due to overexpression of transforming growth factor beta and interleukin-10. This is superimposed on a primary T-cell defect. Locally there is intense inflammation (lung, pleural fluid) with overexpression of immunosuppressive factors (...
§The fluid accumulates slowly and painlessly—therefore,patients with TB are seldom seen with a small amount of pleural fluid §Parenchymal disease will almost never be present with a pleural effusion although lymphadenopathy may §Apical pleural scarring is rarely tuberculous in origin Calcification i...
Pleural effusion (usually unilateral, but can be bilateral in patients with miliary TB) Pleural fluid is straw-colored and exudative with elevated protein levels, low to normal glucose, and a median pH of 7.3. Pleocytosis (500-2500 cells/microliter are noted) with lymphocytic predominance usuall...
The QFT-TB in pleural fluid was positive in 27% and 56% of the confirmed TB and probable TB cases, respectively, whereas the corresponding sensitivities in blood were 58% and 83%. Indeterminate results in blood (25%) were caused by low phytohemagglutinin (PHA = positive control) IFN-纬 ...
Pleural fluid analysis: Pleural fluid analysis is a group of tests used to diagnose the cause of TB. CT scan: CT scan of chest helps confirm pulmonary TB. What happens if I have TB? If you have been diagnosed with tuberculosis, you’re likely to be prescribed rifampicin, isoniazid, p...
摘要 Objective To evaluate the antibody detection of TB - SA in the diagnosis of patients with tuberculous pleurisy. Methods 121 patients with tuberculous pleurisy and 30 patients with non-tuberculosis pleurisy were selected in this study, and the antibodies of TB-SA in their pleural fl...
