Table 3-late Reactivation of Tuberculosis
نویسنده
چکیده
losis is considered the best means of treatment for active disease that is limited to one side and that does not heal under drug therapy. Persistent cavitary disease that may or may not be associated with positive sputum is regarded as a source of further reactivation and as such should be excised. Residual infiltrate in a patient under therapy with antituberculosis drugs to which he is becoming resistant comprises the other large group that is amenable to resection.

Hip Surgery in Quiescent or Active Tubercular Hip Arthritis; Is Reactivation Risk Really a Matter
About 15 % of all musculoskeletal tuberculosis (TB) have hip involvement. Early anti-tubercular drug therapy and other conservative treatment including short-term traction and mobilization programs could prevent hip joint destruction. Reactivation of TB accounts for a significant of active TB incidence, especially in the developed countries with a low TB prevalence. The risk of TB activation ...
متن کاملMolecular evidence of endogenous reactivation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis after 33 years of latent infection.
Since Robert Koch described the cause of tuberculosis in 1882, the natural history of the disease after primary infection has been subject to debate. Only approximately 10% of infected individuals develop active disease, which may appear years to decades after infection. Late onset has been attributed to the endogenous reactivation of dormant bacteria. However, this has not been documented by m...

We investigated the use of DNA amplification by polymerase chain reaction (peR) for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 300 patients who were suspected of having pulmonary tuberculosis and compared the results with culture results which were performed in parallel with PCR. Two-thirds of each sample was processed for smear and culture by standard methods and one-third was prepared fo...
