Percutaneous Inoculation Tuberculosis

Analysis of 30 Patients with Acupuncture-Induced Primary Inoculation Tuberculosis

Primary inoculation tuberculosis is a skin condition that develops at the site of inoculation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in tuberculosis-free individuals. This report describes the diagnosis, treatment and >1 year follow-up of 30 patients presenting with acupuncture-induced primary inoculation tuberculosis. Our data provide a deeper insight into this rare route of infection of tuberculosis. ...

Guinea-Pig Inoculation in the Diagnosis of Tuberculosis

. In fact many laboratory workers will recollect a circular asking for results of guinea-pig inoculation in their respective laboratories. From my laboratory, Prior to 1942, I could find no positive result of inoculation recorded. The number of examinations were far too few, extending over many years, and no record ?f the method adopted and the accurate detail of technique, nor the clinical pic...

Intracutaneous Inoculation of Guinea-Pigs for the Diagnosis of Tuberculosis

A rare case of primary inoculation tuberculosis seen after varicella.

Primary inoculation tuberculosis (TB) is a rare form of cutaneous TB resulting from direct introduction of Mycobacterium tuberculosis into the skin or mucosa of a previously uninfected, nonimmune person. We herein report the first case, to our knowledge, of primary inoculation TB to be seen after varicella; this case explains the possible mechanism of varicella-zoster virus-mediated transient c...

Establishing a rabbit spinal tumor model for nonvascular interventional therapy through CT-guided percutaneous puncture inoculation.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE An animal spinal tumor model is needed to better simulate the clinical situation and to allow percutaneous puncture, which may provide an experimental platform for the new nonvascular interventional therapies. We established a rabbit spinal tumor model through a CT-guided percutaneous puncture inoculation technique for nonvascular interventional therapy. MATERIALS AND M...
