İNTERSTİSYEL AKCİĞER HASTALIĞINI TAKLİT EDEN BİR TÜBERKÜLOZ OLGUSU

Year 2001, Volume: 2 Issue: 3, 35 - 38, 01.12.2001

Abstract

Yirmi iki yaşında, kadın hasta. 20 gün önce başlayan ve eforla oluşan nefes darlığı ve kuru öksürük dışında yakınması yoktu. Solunum sistemi bakısında bazallerde tek tük ince raller duyuluyordu. Rutin laboratuvar tetkikleri normal olan hastanın solunum fonksiyon testinde restriktif tipte bozukluk saptandı. Tüberkülin testi pozitif (18 mm) idi. Balgam çıkaramadığı için asidorezistan basil (ARB) bakılamadı. Akciğer grafisinde sağ akciğerde daha belirgin olmak üzere her iki akciğerde yaygın daha çok periferik yerleşimli retiküler dansite artışı, sağ diyafragmanın yüksek ve düzensiz konturlu olduğu izlendi. Yüksek rezolüsyonlu bilgisayarlı tomografide sağ üst lob apikal, posterior, orta lob, alt lob apikal segmentlerde; sol üst lob apikoposterior, alt lob apikal segmentlerde daha çok periferik yerleşimli retiküler dansiteler, yer yer peribronşiyal kalınlaşmalar ve sağ orta lobdakilere bir miktar buzlu cam görünümünün eşlik ettiği dansite artışları saptandı. Bronkoalveolar lavaj (BAL) ve bronş aspirasyon sıvısında ARB menfi idi. BALincelemesinde alveoler makrofaj %56, lenfosit %30, PNL %12, eozinofil %2 olarak saptandı. Transbronşiyal akciğer biyopsisinde diyagnostik bir bulgu izlenmedi. Yapılan incelemelerle kesin tanıya gidilemediğinden hastaya açık akciğer biyopsisi yapıldı. Histopatolojik incelemede mikroskopik olarak akciğer parankiminde düzensiz dağılım gösteren kazeifiye granülom yapı ları gözlendi ve akciğer tüberkülozu ile uyumlu olarak değerlendirildi. Yapılan Ziehl-Neelsen asidorezistan basil boyasında granülomlarda birkaç basil saptandı. Olgu, interstisyel akciğer hastalığını taklit eden atipik radyolojik bulguları nedeniyle sunuldu

A Tuberculosis Case Imitating Interstitial Lung Disease

Year 2001, Volume: 2 Issue: 3, 35 - 38, 01.12.2001

Abstract

Twenty-two year old, female patient. Her complaints were dyspnea with exercise and a dry cough of 20 days. A few crepitations were heard during oscultation. Routine laboratory examinations were normal. Restrictive pattern was observed in pulmonary function tests. Tuberculin test was positive (18 mm). She could not give sputum sample for acid-fast bacillus (ARB) examination. Bilateral diffuse peripheral reticular infiltrates dominating in right lung were observed in chest x-ray and right hemidiyaphragma was high with irregular contours. There were peripheral reticular densities in right upper lobe apical, posterior, middle lobe, lower lobe apical; left upper lobe apicoposterior, lower lobe apical segments in high resolution computed tomography. There were focal peribronchial thickenings and ground glass density in right middle lobe. ARB was negative in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and bronchial aspiration fluid. BAL fluid revealed 56% alveolarmacrophages, 30% lymphocytes, 12% PNL, 2% eosinophils. Non-diagnostic findings were observed in transbronchial lung biopsy. Since these tests were non-diagnostic, open lung biopsy was performed. Microscopic histopathological examination revealed scattered granuloma with caseification necrosis compatible with pulmonary tuberculosis. A few tuberculosis bacilli were detected in granuloma by Ziehl-Neelsen staining. The case was presented for atypical radiological findings imitating interstitial lung disease.
