Abstract : Here we present a rare combination of GUTB with B/L inguinal lymphadenopathy in a 55y old male patient presented with pain right flank , fever & significant weight loss for the last 3 months. Per abdomen examination revealed non-tender vague lump in right lumber region about 5x4cm dimensions , with B/L inguinal lymphadenopathy, firm, matted . Investigations revealed low haemoglobin count, high leucocytic & ESR count , urine for AFB was positive and ultrasound revealed small right renal & psoas abscess , which on subsequent start of ATT , got resolved and patient was symptomatically improved . I. Introduction Genitourinary tuberculosis (GUTB) is the second most common form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis after lymph node involvement [1]. Most studies in peripheral LNTB have described a female preponderance, while pulmonary TB is more common in adult males [2]. In approximately 28% of patients with GUTB, the involvement is solely genital [3]. However , the combination of GUTB and LNTB is rare condition. Most textbooks mention it only briefly. This report aims to present a case of GUTB with LNTB in a single patient. II. Case Report 55y male with no comorbidities , having pain right flank & fever X 3months.

Being endemic in India tuberculosis must be included in the differential diagnosis of chronic otitis media not responding to usual antibiotics. The diagnosis is more likely in the setting of patients on immunosuppressive therapy, patients receiving steroids or patients with past or family history of tuberculosis. In many cases tuberculous otitis media is not diagnosed mainly because it is often not suspected. We conducted this disease to study the tubercular otitis media, its clinical features, examination findings, intra-operative appearance and for knowing up to what extent an early diagnosis and intervention could restore normal hearing in these patients. Aims and Objectives: To study the patients of tubercular otitis media and their clinical presentations, clinical examination, intraoperative findings and incidence of deafness in patients having tubercular otitis media. Material and Methods: This was a multi-centric prospective cohort study comprising of 60 patients who attended ENT department of a medical college and a well known ENT centre situated in an urban area.

  • Urogenital Tuberculosis — Epidemiology, Pathogenesis and Clinical Features
    REVIEWS Urogenital tuberculosis — epidemiology, pathogenesis and clinical features Asif Muneer1, Bruce Macrae2, Sriram Krishnamoorthy3 and Alimuddin Zumla2,4,5* Abstract | Tuberculosis (TB) is the most common cause of death from infectious disease worldwide. A substantial proportion of patients presenting with extrapulmonary TB have urogenital TB (UG-TB), which can easily be overlooked owing to non-specific symptoms, chronic and cryptic protean clinical manifestations, and lack of clinician awareness of the possibility of TB. Delay in diagnosis results in disease progression, irreversible tissue and organ damage and chronic renal failure. UG-TB can manifest with acute or chronic inflammation of the urinary or genital tract, abdominal pain, abdominal mass, obstructive uropathy, infertility, menstrual irregularities and abnormal renal function tests. Advanced UG-TB can cause renal scarring, distortion of renal calyces and pelvic, ureteric strictures, stenosis, urinary outflow tract obstruction, hydroureter, hydronephrosis, renal failure and reduced bladder capacity. The specific diagnosis of UG-TB is achieved by culturing Mycobacterium tuberculosis from an appropriate clinical sample or by DNA identification. Imaging can aid in localizing site, extent and effect of the disease, obtaining tissue samples for diagnosis, planning medical or surgical management, and monitoring response to treatment. Drug-sensitive TB requires 6–9 months of WHO-recommended standard treatment regimens. Drug-resistant TB requires 12–24 months of therapy with toxic drugs with close monitoring. Surgical intervention as an adjunct to medical drug treatment is required in certain circumstances. Current challenges in UG-TB management include making an early diagnosis, raising clinical awareness, developing rapid and sensitive TB diagnostics tests, and improving treatment outcomes.

  • Thesis a Derivatization Protocol for Mycolic Acids
    THESIS A DERIVATIZATION PROTOCOL FOR MYCOLIC ACIDS DETECTION USING LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY/MASS SPECTROMETRY Submitted by Paulina Zurita Urrea Department of Microbiology, Immunology, and Pathology In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Fall 2012 Master‘s Committee: Advisor: John T. Belisle Robert Jones Mo Salman ABSTRACT A DERIVATIZATION PROTOCOL FOR MYCOLIC ACIDS DETECTION USING LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY/MASS SPECTROMETRY New tools for the diagnosis and control of Tuberculosis are major challenges. In this context the use of biomarkers can be applied for detecting characteristic signatures from the tuberculosis-infected host and the pathogen. Mycolic acids are considered as a hallmark of the Mycobacterium genus being abundant in the mycobacterial cell wall. In this study a derivatization protocol was tested to enhance the detection of mycolic acid after the attachment of a quaternary amine and analysis of the derivatized products in the positive ionization mode with liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. Three groups were considered i) mycolic acid standard ii) human urine spiked with mycolic acid standard, and iii) human serum spiked with mycolic acid standard. Each group included the analysis of a set of non- derivatized mycolic acids in positive and negative ionization mode, and derivatized mycolic acids in positive mode. The derivatization process applied to the mycolic acid standard and to the urine samples spiked with mycolic did not improve the ion volume value compared to the respective non-derivatized samples. Serum samples, however, showed a significant enhancement in the ion volume of the different mycolic acids analyzed compared to the non-derivatized serum samples (α=0.05).

    [Downloaded free from http://www.ijmyco.org on Wednesday, September 23, 2020, IP: 62.193.78.199] Review Article A Long Journey to be Diagnosed as a Case of Tuberculous Cystitis: A Bangladeshi Case Report and Review of Literatures Tajkera Sultana Chowdhury1, Md. Fazal Naser1, Mainul Haque2 1Department of Urology, Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh, 2Faculty of Medicine and Defence Health, Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (National Defence University of Malaysia), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Abstract Urinary bladder tuberculosis (UB‑TB) is one of the gravest public health issues of renal TB, and it is diagnosed with <50% of urogenital TB. Unsatisfactory and delayed diagnosis with imprudent medications for bladder TB frequently resulted in several urinary and complications, including contraction of the UB. The objectives of this research were to build awareness among medical professionals and subsequently minimize the sufferings of patients. This was a case report‑based study regarding UB‑TB. All routine tests for cystitis were conducted. In addition, 24‑h urine sample for TB identification, including a polymerase chain reaction test, was performed. Twenty‑four hours of urine sample revealed confirmatory findings of TB. The patient had responded well with the national TB guideline‑designated medication. Recurrent cystitis had a higher possibility of tuberculous origin. Medical doctors must rethink when a patient visited multiple times for cystitis for the etiology of the disease.

Materials and Methods: 80 patients (56 males, 70%; median age 34 years; age range 12 to 75) with urogenital tuberculosis were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were divided in seven groups: 1) Bilateral parenchymatous renal lesions; 2) No or minimal changes on radiographic examination; 3) Unilateral renal tuberculosis; 4) Contracted bladder; 5) Contracted bladder with renal failure; 6) Tuberculosis on a transplanted kidney; 7) Isolated genital tuberculosis. Results: 1) Seven (8.8%) patients had multiple bilateral parenchymatous renal lesions with fever and malaise, characteristic of miliary tuberculosis. Three of these patients had AIDS. 2) Six (7.5%) cases had an early diagnosis, with minimal or no radiographic lesions. Two did not have any urologic symptoms. 3) Twelve (15%) patients had unilateral renal tuberculosis with partial (1 case) or total non-function kidney. 4) Thirty-seven (46.3%) patients had contracted bladder associated with unilateral partial (1 case) or total non-function kidney. 5) Ten (12.5%) patients had end stage renal disease due to tuber- culosis with contracted bladder. 6) Four (5.0%) patients had tuberculosis on a transplanted kidney, with graft loss in half the cases. 7) Four (5.0%) patients had prostate or epididymis tuberculosis without associated renal lesion.
