To describe the clinical presentation, radiological findings and outcome of treatment with antituberculosis drugs in 16 cases of intracranial tuberculoma.
METHODS
Consecutive cases admitted with tuberculoma to the National Center for Neurological Diseases in Khartoum, Sudan, were included
Antituberculosis therapy (ATT)-associated acute liver failure (ATT-ALF) is the commonest drug-induced ALF in South Asia. Prospective studies on ATT-ALF are lacking. The current study prospectively evaluated the magnitude, clinical course, outcome, and prognostic factors in ATT-ALF. From January 1986
Acute liver failure (ALF) is not an uncommon complication of a common disease such as acute hepatitis. Viral hepatitis followed by antituberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity are the commonest causes of ALF in India. Clinically, such patients present with appearance of jaundice, encephalopathy, and
BACKGROUND
To analyze the clinical features of acute severe hepatitis (ASH) and subacute severe hepatitis (SSH) by comparison analysis.
METHODS
The clinical features of 215 cases with ASH and SSH from 1995 to 2005 were retrospectively analyzed by using chi-test, t-test and regression
The diagnosis of incracranial tuberculoma in immune-compromised hosts is often difficult because conventional magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of tuberculoma reveals various findings and neurologic symptoms are not typical. Here, we report a case of a 54-yr old man with multiple intracranial
A 32 year old man was admitted for dyspnea, hemoptysis, macroscopic hematuria, hypertension (140/100), peripheral edema and hemodynamic decompensation. Lung Xrays revealed pulmonary edema and a cavity in the left apex. Laboratory determinations revealed an altered renal function with increased
BACKGROUND
Nocardiosis is an opportunistic infection in a patient with underlying immune suppression and organ transplant. Clinical syndromes are varied and ranges from pulmonary, disseminated, cutaneous along with central nervous system involvement.
METHODS
Herein, we report a rare case of
Background
A paradoxical reaction (PR) is a phenomenon in which the primary tuberculous lesion worsens or another
de novo tuberculous lesion appears while on anti-tuberculosis therapy. Here, we report a rare case of cerebellar tuberculoma caused by a PR during therapy for
BACKGROUND
In some particular endemic area, it is not uncommon to see patients with tuberculosis pericarditis. However, it takes a period of time from tuberculous pericarditis to constrictive pericarditis. There is still no report of tuberculous constrictive pericarditis concurrent with active
A 25-year-old female presented with a 1-month history of headache and vomiting. Computed tomography revealed several enhanced nodules with surrounding edema in the right cerebellum. A T2-weighted magnetic resonance image showed heterogeneous high signal intensity throughout the right cerebellar
BACKGROUND
The objective of this study was to report a diagnostic dilemma in a patient with multifocal choroiditis. This is a case report study.
RESULTS
A 68-year-old female presented with new onset of floaters in both eyes and diagnosed with bilateral panuveitis. Her visual acuity was 20/200 in
METHODS
We describe a 65-year-old asymptomatic woman with unilateral optic disc edema. Laboratory testing revealed a very marked positive PPD (25 mm) with dermatolysis. Anti-tuberculosis therapy resulted in complete resolution.
CONCLUSIONS
Tuberculosis should be considered in the diagnosis of
The purpose of this report is to describe a case involving a 62-year-old Moroccan woman hospitalized for generalized edema that lead to diagnosis of chronic constrictive pericarditis. Diagnosis was confirmed on the basis of pericardial calcification and typical hemodynamic findings. New imaging
After being exposed to a kindergarten teacher with infectious pulmonary tuberculosis, a7-year-old girl with a positive tuberculin skin test was treated with isoniazid. 3 days after initiation of the tuberculostatic therapy, the girl was referred to our hospital with an acute onset of blurred vision.
OBJECTIVE
To describe a patient with tuberculous neuroretinitis.
METHODS
Retrospective case report.
RESULTS
We describe a 43-year-old otherwise asymptomatic woman with a known exposure to tuberculosis who had unilateral optic disc edema and a partial macular star (neuroretinitis). This was followed
