1/45. Seminal vesicle abscess due to tuberculosis: role of tissue culture in making the diagnosis.abscess formation involving the seminal vesicle occurs rarely. We report a case of seminal vesicle abscess due to tuberculosis. urine and fluid cultures and histologic examination of the prostate were negative for mycobacteria. The cause of the abscess was confirmed only after tissue cultures were done.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = tuberculosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/45. Primary tuberculosis of the glans penis.A 60-year-old man presented with multiple superficial ulcers on the glans penis. Histopathology, a positive tuberculin test result, and therapeutic response to antituberculous therapy confirmed the diagnosis of penile tuberculosis. Examination was otherwise normal except for a solitary enlarged reactive lymph node on the right side. There was no evidence of coexistent tuberculous infection elsewhere.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = tuberculosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/45. Primary tuberculosis of the penis.We present a case of primary tuberculosis of the inner lining of the prepuce in a 63-year-old man. The condition resembled carcinoma. The diagnosis was based on histopathology and on M. tuberculosis culture. Successful treatment was by a combined medical and surgical approach. The rarity of the case is emphasized.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2keywords = tuberculosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/45. Tuberculous orchitis co-existing with tuberculosis of the sternum--case report.The sternum and testis are infrequent localisations for extra pulmonary tuberculosis. The initial response to a co-existing lesion, as this case depicted is, to implicate a malignant process of some sort. A high index of suspicion is needed to overcome this diagnostic riddle. biopsy of the lesion and bacteriological work-up are essential ingredients of management.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = tuberculosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/45. A case of tuberculosis of the prostate.Tuberculosis of the prostate is uncommon. However, the number of patients with tuberculosis has once again recently been gradually increasing in japan. The number of immunocompromised hosts, such as those with AIDS, is also increasing, suggesting that this rare infectious disease may increase in frequency in the near future. We present a case of tuberculosis of the prostate.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2keywords = tuberculosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/45. Orificial tuberculosis and Kaposi's sarcoma in an hiv-negative individual.Orificial tuberculosis is a rare form of cutaneous tuberculosis. It happens mainly in immunocompromised patients and is characterized by rapidly ulcerating papules in the orifices, including oropharynx or anus, due to autoinoculation of internal tuberculosis. It is a symptom of advanced underlying disease. Kaposi's sarcoma occurs more frequently with the increase of hiv-infected patients. We report on an hiv-negative individual who developed rapid-deteriorating orificial tuberculosis concomitant with Kaposi's sarcoma and had a fatal outcome.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.6keywords = tuberculosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/45. Recent changes in the assessment of urogenital tuberculosis.The urogenital tuberculosis has undergone a change in form and clinical assessment. The absolute proportion of urogenital tuberculosis cases has fallen off sharply since 1967. The nmber of surgical interventions is also remarkably reduced. The cases exhibiting a milder stage have significantly increased, while the severe cases have decreased. This change of tuberculosis has made a conservative therapy favorable; therefore the current operative indication is somewhat different than 15 years ago. The time of release from the stationary treatment depends first on the animal experiment and bacterial findings; furthermore, tests are necessary to determine the status of immunity. It was revealed with urogenital tuberculosis, through regular examination of the menstrual blood of women, that the number of positive cases among women was considerably higher, than among men. In contracted bladder a surgical intervention is often necessary due to intense pain and incontinence. We prefer the rectal bladder with sigmoid pull-through inside the sphincter ani, whereby excellent success can be achieved. The study shows that the clinical assessment of tuberculosis is somewhat different today than is was earlier. Tuberculosis underwent a change in form that must be taken into consideration with respect to operative indication.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.8keywords = tuberculosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/45. Tuberculous prostatitis--a case report.Tuberculous prostatitis is a rare condition. A 55 years-old man admitted into a surgery unit of Mymensingh Medical College Hospital with features of prostatism. After clinical examination and investigations, it was diagnosed as a case of benign enlargement of prostate (BEP) and surgery was decided to do. During exploration a large cystic cavitation found in prostate and the intact median lobe taken out for histopathological examination, which revealed tuberculous granuloma. The patient had no evidence of past or present pulmonary tuberculosis. He was treated with anti-tubercular chemotherapy and responded well. No such case is found reported in bangladesh yet in through medline search database. So, the case is reported here.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = tuberculosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/45. Testicular tuberculosis mimicking testicular malignancy.A 22 years old male presented with right sided scrotal swelling of 5 months duration. On examination it was found to be of orange-sized, firm to hard in consistency with mild tenderness. ultrasonography of testes failed to arrive at a diagnosis. However, fine needle aspiration cytology of the testicular swelling confirmed the diagnosis of testicular tuberculosis. Even conservative approach in the management gave satisfactory result.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = tuberculosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/45. Tuberculous orchiepididymitis diagnosed by nucleic acid amplification test: a case report.Symptoms of tuberculous orchiepididymitis in a 39-year-old male started with swelling of left scrotum, followed by fistula formation with suppurative discharge. There was no any improvement produced by antibiotics. Surgical extirpation of inflammatory destroyed testicle and epidydimis was performed. Presence of tubercle bacilli was not shown by bacteriological analysis of testicle tissue. Tuberculous etiology was suggested after histopathological examination of testis and epididymis. Exudate from surgical wound was examined on presence of mycobacterium tuberculosis dna. Etiology of orchiepididymitis was proved by positive assay and inflammatory process was completely cured by antituberculotics therapy. By this report it was clearly shown that sometimes only molecular methods could confirm etiology of inflammatory process.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = tuberculosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
