Purpose: To describe a case of optic nerve head tubercular granuloma, unresponsive to conventional therapy (antitubercular drugs and systemic steroids), successfully treated with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) intravitreal injections in addition to systemic drugs....
an increasing number of patients are being considered for treatment with biological agents. Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the major concerns with the use of biological agents [1]. The risk is high mainly with tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi...
The present study was undertaken to study the role of fine needle aspiration cytology of pleural effusions in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis with an attempt to diagnose tubercular infections. Amongst a total of 370 cases with pleural effusions evaluated, there were 200 cases of Tubercular ...
Paradoxical enlargement and new lymph nodes appearance are observed after completion of anti-tuberculous therapy. Objective: The objective of the study was to assess whether granuloma can persist in persisted or paradoxically enlarged lymph node after anti-TB treatment in tubercular lymphadenitis patient....

Among various immunomodulatory substances, macrophages also produce α1-acid glycoprotein (AAG) which is secreted into the extracellular matrix of tuberculosis granulomas that represents a specific binding environment. Employing circular dichroism (CD) and UV/VIS absorption spectroscopic methods, we ...
Through laparoscopy, the tubercular nodule is observed macroscopically, and the histopathological results from hematoxylin-and-eosin staining indicate the presence of epithelial granuloma that forms Langhans cells that could explain the presence of a chronic inflammatory reaction (Figure 2). Figure 2. (...
