JK Amorosa Flip - Flop TB R1
Tuberculosis • Primary –selflimiting • Infection in patients previously not exposed to M tuberculosis (under age 5 in the past, now common in adults also) • Postprimary-progressive • Reactivation and reinfection
Chest X-ray is normal in TB in • 50% • 75% • 15%
Manifestations of Primary TB are: • Parenchymal disease • Lymphadenopathy • Miliary disease • Pleural Effusion
Manifestations of Postprimary TB are: • Upper lobe distribution • Cavity • Absence of adenopathy • Airway involvement
Human disease causing mycobacteria are more likely: • Slow growing • Fast growing
Mycobacteria – aerobic rods • Categories by disease cause: 1.tuberculosis complex: causes human disease 2.nontuberculous or atypical • Categories by rate of growth: 1.rapid growing: < 7 days 2.slow growing:> 7 days • Rapid: M.abscessus, M.fortiutum, M.chelonae • Slow: MTB, MAC, M.Kansasii
Transmission • Respiratory • Desiccated bacilli remain airborne for long time – indoor close many months contact is necessary for transmission • Laryngeal, transbronchial, cavitary disease produce most bacilli • Ventillation reduces infectiousness
19 f TB mediastinaladenopathy
TB mediastinaladenopathy is seen as part of • Reactivation TB • HIV • Primary TB usually in children
TB mediastinaladenopathy is seen as part of • Reactivation TB • HIV • Primary TB usually in children
TB Lymphadenopathy • Central low attenuation • Active disease • Necrosis • R hilar is most common
Pathogenesis • TB bacilli in the body elicit acute inflammatory response – no symptoms • Macrophages ingest bacilli and transport them to regional lymph nodes • If not contained in local LNs, hematogenous dissemination of bacilli occurs and usually is contained, if not, then: miliary, meningeal, GU, MSK
Miliary • Chickenpox pneumoniaTuberculosis, disseminatedBlastomycosis, disseminatedCoccidioidomycosis, disseminatedCryptococcosisHistoplasmosis, disseminatedMelioidosisBlastomycosisCoccidioidomycosis, pulmonary, chronicCryptococcosis, pulmonaryFilariasisFungal lung infectionHistoplasmosisHistoplasmosis, pulmonaryParasitic lung infectionPulmonary larval infestation/nematodesPulmonary larval migransSchistosomiasis • Granulomatous, Inflammatory Disorders Bronchiocentric granulomatosis/lungGranulomatous lung diseaseSarcoidosisSarcoidosis, pulmonary Neoplastic Disorders LymphomasMetastatic lung lymphatics/carcinomaAlveolar cell carcinoma, lungCarcinoma, thyroid, anaplastic
Miliary cont • Allergic, Collagen, Auto-Immune Disorders Pulmonary arteritis/vasculitisRheumatoid lung disease Metabolic, Storage Disorders Histiocytosis, pulmonaryHistiocytosis X Hereditary, Familial, Genetic Disorders Tuberous Sclerosis • Anatomic, Foreign Body, Structural Disorders Atelectasis, pulmonary Reference to Organ System Respiratory distress (newborn) syndromePulmonary fibrosisPulmonary microlithiasis, alveolar Poisoning (Specific Agent) Silicosis Organ Poisoning (Intoxication) Pneumoconiosis
TB pleurisy • Unilateral • Exudative: high protein content, High WBC, low glucose • Lymphocyte predominance • Complications: B-P fistula, empyema • 1/3 negative TB skin test
Pleural Effusion exudative • Malignancy • Pneumonia • Tuberculosis • Pulmonary embolism • Fungal infection • Pancreatic pseudocyst • Intra-abdominal abscess • After coronary artery bypass graft surgery • Postcardiac injury syndrome • Pericardial disease • Meigs syndrome • Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome • Rheumatoid pleuritis • Lupus erythematosus • Drug-induced pleural disease • Asbestos pleural effusion • Yellow nail syndrome • Uremia • Trapped lung • Chylothorax • Pseudochylothorax • Acute respiratory distress syndrome • Chronic pleural thickening • Malignant mesothelioma
Pleural Effusion transudate: <3 g protein, low WBC, normal glucose • Congestive heart failure (most common) • Cirrhosis with hepatic hydrothorax • Nephrotic syndrome • Peritoneal dialysis/continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis • Hypoproteinemia • Glomerulonephritis • Superior vena cava obstruction • Fontan procedure • Urinothorax • CSF leak to the pleural space
TB bacilli spread to meninges via: • Inhalation to lymphnodes to bloodstrean to meninges • Inhalation to lymphnodes to meninges • Ingestion to peritoneum to CSF • Intravenous introduction to meninges
TB bacilli spread to meninges via: • Inhalation to lymphnodes to bloodstream to meninges • Inhalation to lymphnodes to meninges • Ingestion to peritoneum to CSF • Intravenous introduction to meninges
Manifestations of Postprimary TB are: • Upper lobe distribution • Cavity • Absence of adenopathy • Airway involvement
Cavity vs cyst vs bulla • Cavity: Gas-filled space in an area of lung consolidation or mass or nodule produced by the expulsion of a necrotic part of the lesion via the bronchial tree; wall thickness varies • Cyst: wall thickness is 4 mm or less • Bulla: wall thickness < 4 mm • Often difficult to distinguish the 3 Clin Microbiol Rev. 2008 April; 21(2): 305–333
Cavity - causes • Abscess • TB • Ischemic necrosis (infarct) • PCP • Fungal process • Malignancy • Wegener’s granulomatosis • Sarcoidosis – rare • COP (Cryptogenic Organizing Pneumonia -rare
Cavity • T bacilli grow in cavities which communicate with bronchi and spread infection • MDR bacilli grow in cavities exclusively • Hydrolytic enzymes break down lung • TuberculosisVolume 89, Issue 4 , Pages 243-247, July 2009
