Pulmonary tuberculosis is one of the most important health problems in the world (1, 2). Human immunode-ficiency virus (HIV) infection, immigration, multidrug resistance, delay and failure in prevention, diagnosis and treatment cause a high incidence of pulmonary tubrcu-lo...

Endobronchial Tuberculosis and Chest Radiography

Endobronchial tuberculosis and chest radiography I read, with interest, the article entitled “Clinical and Para-clinical Presentations of Endobronchial Tuberculosis” by Ahmadi Hoseini H. S. et al. (1) published in this journal. I would like to focus on some details about the chest X-ray of patients as elaborated by the authors in the results section. Accordingly, the findings of chest radiograp...

Bronchoscopy/Endobronchial ultrasound.

Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) has emerged as a new diagnostic tool that allows the bronchoscopist to see beyond the airway. The radial probe EBUS was first introduced to evaluate the airway structure, which has been shown to be useful for identifying the extent of tumor invasion in the central airway. The newest development is the convex EBUS-TBNA scope with a curvilinear electronic transduce...

Endobronchial ultrasound in therapeutic bronchoscopy.

Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) has been introduced as an adjunct to diagnostic bronchoscopy as it allows evaluation of the submucosal and parabronchial structures. Its use in therapeutic bronchoscopy has not been assessed. A large observational study of the value of EBUS in therapeutic bronchoscopy is presented here. From January 1998-January 2001 all patients undergoing therapeutic bronchosco...
