Article Synopsis
- Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) is a frequent complication following treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis, particularly in tuberculosis-endemic regions like Nigeria, where monitoring for CPA is lacking.
- A study conducted in Lagos from June 2021 to May 2022 assessed 141 patients previously treated for tuberculosis, revealing a significant increase in CPA cases over time, with an overall prevalence of 49.7% and an incidence rate of 6.1%.
- The findings highlight the importance of recognizing CPA as a common outcome of tuberculosis treatment, urging healthcare providers to incorporate CPA evaluations into tuberculosis patient care.
Introduction: atherosclerosis develops insidiously, offering time and opportunities for early detection. Screening for subclinical atherosclerosis via structural wall changes and flow velocities among apparently healthy adults using carotid ultrasonography may help its early detection, offer timely intervention and reduce morbidity and mortality.
Methods: a cross-sectional study of 100 participants with a mean age of 56.
Pneumothorax is a rare but recognized cause of respiratory distress in the newborn. It can occur spontaneously or post-traumatic. We report our experience in a term male neonate who had primary spontaneous pneumothorax.
