Thorax CT There is a paravertebralabcesswhichcauseslitic-destructiveimagesthatbecomesclear at therightside on thelowerthoracalvertebrates.
Thorax CT - 2 There is a subplevralnodularlesion at theanteriorupper lob of therightlung.
Question 2: • What is your pre-diagnosis? • Cervical pyogenic osteomyelitis • Cervical malignancy • Cervical vertebral fracture • An abcess on the vertebral colon
Question 3: • What should we do for the exact diagnosis? • Operation on cervical vertebra and abcess examination • Fiberoptic broncoscopy • Sputum test for Acid Fast Bacille(AFB) • Excision of the cervical LAP
Tests done • Post-cervical LAP ponction on the left neck • AFB (+) on abcess material • AFB (-) on sputum
Treatment • The date she is hospitalised is 13.7.2010 • Multiple Pott abcess • TB lenfadenite • With lung TB pre-diagnosis, HRZE treatment was started. • The diagnosis was confirmed later.
On the 1st week of treatment • She became able to move her arms with help in her bed. • On the 20th day • She become mobilized • On the 85th day • She is discharged from the hospital by walking
In Turkey, Extra Pulmonary TB makes the 30% of the all TB cases • Bone-joint TB makes the 1-2% of the all TB cases • Mostly the vertebra and the bones that carry weight (knee, femur, ankle) • The TB that affects vertebra is called the Pott disease • Frequent at the lower thoracal, lomber and lombosacral areas • It can diffuse to the soft tissue and make cold abcess • The Psoas abcess may diffuse through the muscles via gravity • It may cause paralysis and/or gibbosity • The treatment is standard anti-TB regime for 9 months • For stability, surgery may be required

Question 4: • Which tests should be done? • Sputum AFB • Thorasynthesis • Thorax CT • Neck USG
Sputum AFB microscopy (-), (-), (-) • Plevra fluid • Exuda • ADA: 92 U/dl
Thorax CT, 24.2.2011 Pleuralfluid on thelefthemithorax Pleuralfluidwithpartly dense areas on therighthemithorax
Sister of the patient is TB • Her complaints and symptoms are coherent with TB • Pleural fluid ADA: 92U/dl hospitalisation on 22.2.2011 23.2.2011 HRZE was started
Control Thorax CT, 26.7.2011 (23.2.2011 HRZE was started) Dense pleuralfluidwithpartly dense areaswithairvaluesandcisticareas on therighthemithorax Collapseconsolidation on theotherside of thatlung.
Question 5: • What shall we do with these CT ? • Extend the duration of the treatment • Pleural biopsy • FOB • Decortication
(23.2.2011 HRZE was started) • 4.8.2011 Right thoracotomy + decortication • Pathology: Caseified granulomatous infection • After operation, she used HR for 3 more months 23.11.2011
1.8.2011 Before operation 23.11.2011 3,5 months after operation
Pleural TB • Pleural TB is at the 1st place among the extra-pulmonary cases • It makes the 30% of the all TB cases • Pathogenesis: • It is most frequently the complication of the primary infection • It occurs 6-12 weeks after the primary infection • Radiology, • Is usually unilateral • If it is bilateral, disseminated TB should be considered
Pleural TB - 2 • Pleural fluid is exuda • If ADA level is over 40 U/dl : • Sensitivity: 92%, specifity: 93%. • High ADA values are seen in parapneumonic fluid • Standard 6 months treatment • Steroids are not necessary
Pleural TB - 3 • With the anti TB treatment, visceral pleura may thicken in some patients. It makes pressure on lungs. Breathing is restricted. • After 3 months of treatmenti if there is thickening on more than ¼ of hemithorax, decortication is applied (opinion of the surgeons). • Lung and pleura curing may continue up to 6-9 months.
