Two Cases of Tuberculosis Presented with Spontaneous Pneumothorax

Year 2011, Volume: 13 Issue: 3, 40 - 42, 01.12.2011

Abstract

Purpose: Clinical manifestations of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax were detected inpatients with lung tuberculosis and other non-specific lung diseases. Pneumothorax is animportant and dangerous complication of pulmonary tuberculosis. Thus, we report twopulmonary tuberculosis cases presented with spontaneous pneumothorax.Cases:Case 1: A 36-years-old female patient admitted to our emergency department with acomplaint of sudden onset shortness of breath. Chest graph displayed a right total pneumothoraxand tube thoracostomy was performed. She had empyematous pleural fluid drainage on 3rd dayand positivity for ARB was detected in pleural fluid and sputum. Four-drug anti-tuberculosistherapy was started with the diagnoses of tuberculosis pleurisy and lung tuberculosis. The tubewas removed after her lung had expanded and pleural fluid drainage had ceased on 42nd day,and discharged with the continuation of therapy at home.Case 2: A 48 years old male patient admitted with complaints including sudden onset shortnessof breath and cough. Chest graph showed left pneumothorax and tube thoracostomy wasperformed. Chest graph of post-intervention showed that the lung was completely expanded butalso there was a left para-cardiac infiltration. It was thought that the infiltration may have beenof tuberculosis and studied sputum ARB was positive and a four-drug anti-tuberculosis therapywas started. The patient got well clinically and the tube was removed on 8th day and he wasdischarged with the continuation of therapy at home.Conclusion: Pulmonary tuberculosis should be kept in mind that it may be life threatening andneed emergent intervention when presented with pneumothorax

Spontan Pnömotoraksla Prezente Olan İki Tüberküloz Olgusu

Year 2011, Volume: 13 Issue: 3, 40 - 42, 01.12.2011

Abstract

Giriş: Sekonder spontan pnömotoraksın klinik manifestasyonları akciğer tüberkülozu venonspesifik diğer akciğer hastalıkları olan bireylerde saptanmıştır. Pnömotoraks pulmonertüberkülozun önemli ve tehlikeli bir komplikasyonudur. Biz de benzer klinik prezentasyonlarıolan ve pulmoner tüberküloza sekonder gelişen spontan pnömotoraks saptadığımız iki olguyu,bu nedenle sunmayı uygun bulduk.Olgular: Olgu 1: Otuz altı yaşında bayan hasta ani başlayan nefes darlığı şikayetiyle acilservisimize başvurdu. Hastanın çekilen akciğer grafisinde; sağ total pnömotoraks saptanmasıüzerine tüp torakostomi uygulandı. Takiplerinde 3. gün ampiyematöz plevral mayi drenajıizlenmesi üzerine çalışılan plevral sıvı ve balgamda ARB pozitifliği saptandı. Hastaya tüberkülozplörezi ve akciğer tüberkülozu tanılarıyla 4’lü antitüberküloz tedavi başlandı. Takibinde akciğeriekspanse olan ve plevral mayi drenajı kesilen hastanın 42. günde dreni alındı ve antitüberküloztedavisine ayaktan devam edilmek üzere taburcu edildi.Olgu 2: Kırk sekiz yaşında erkek hasta ani başlayan nefes darlığı, öksürük şikayetiyle acilservisimize başvurdu. Hastanın çekilen akciğer grafisinde; sol pnömotoraks saptanması üzerinetüp torakostomi uygulandı. İşlem sonrası çekilen kontrol grafi’de; sol akciğerin ekspanse olduğugörüldü. Fakat sol parakardiyak alanda nonhomojen opasite izlenmesi nedeniyle tüberkülozdüşünülerek gönderilen balgam ARB’nin (++) saptanması üzerine 4’lü antitüberküloz tedavibaşlandı. Kliniği düzelen ve takibinde dreni alınan hasta antitüberküloz tedavisine ayaktandevam edilmek üzere 8. gün taburcu edildi.Sonuç: Pulmoner tüberküloz, klinik olarak pnömotoraks şeklinde prezente olduğu zaman hayatıtehdit eden ve acil müdahale gerektiren bir akciğer hastalığı olarak göz önündebulundurulmalıdır
