TB and AIDS Flashcards
Mainstay of diagnosis of Primary TB
Chest radiograph
Most common form of PTB in infants and children under 5 years of age
Primary TB
4 Manifestations of TB
Parenchymal disease
Lymphadenopathy
Miliary Bodies
Atelectasis
Dense, homogenous consolidation, Indistinguishable from bacterial pneumonia, predominance lower and middle lobes ( adult) middle and upper (children)
Parenchymal disease
Difference Parenchymal disease and bacterial pneumonia
Lymphadenopathy and lack response antibiotics PD
Greatest ventilation area (3)
Lower, middle, and anterior upper lobe
Radiologic scar that persist, 15 % calcify
ghon focus
Mostly lymphadenopathy is
A. Bilateral R and L sided
B. Unilateral L sided
C. Unilateral R sided
C. Hilum and R paratracheal region
A. One third cases
In Ct scan active disease primary TB present as (2)- lymphadenopathy
> 2 diameter
Low attenuation center 2nd to necrosis
Maybe the sole radiograph feature
Lymphadenopathy
Mainstay of diagnosis of lymphadenopathy
CT scan
Ghon complex + calcified lymph node, suggestive of previous TB
Ranke Complex
Elderly, infants and immunocompromised person. Manifesting w/in 6 months exposure
Miliary TB
Mainstay of diagnosis of miliary TB
CT scan
Radiographic findings in miliary TB
Hyperinflation- earliest feature
Evenly distributed diffuse small 2-3mm nodules
Slight lower lobe predominance
Complex septated effusion ultrasound
Pleural effusion
Re infection with reactivation of TB, common in adolescence and adulthood
Postprimary TB
Hallmark of Postprimary TB, thick, irregular walls which become smooth and thin with successful treatment
Cavitation
Postprimary TB location.
Bilateral upper lobe fibrosis
Manifestation of Postprimary TB
Parenchymal disease
Airway involvement
Pleural extension
Earliest finding in Parenchymal disease
Patchy, poorly defined consolidation
