Article Synopsis
- Tuberculous cold abscesses represent a rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, accounting for only 1% of cases.
- A study of 24 patients revealed that these abscesses often present with chronic pain and swelling, primarily affecting the thoracic wall, and are often linked to previous pulmonary TB.
- Early detection and appropriate anti-tuberculosis treatment led to a positive outcome for most patients, highlighting the importance of considering this condition in individuals with risk factors for TB.
Background: The broncopulmonary cancer is a major problem of public health whose diagnosis is most of the time unfavorable. For a long time, strategies of management of cancer have not taken into consideration much the histological type and few authors have studied the implication of histological type of cancer on the future of patients having cancer.
Aim: Taking into account the results of recent studies, we propose to review the recent epidemiological and biological aspects of bronchial cancers and then to study the impact on the therapeutic strategy.
The aim of this study was to determine the side effects of standard antituberculosis therapy with isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and streptomycine in patients treated for tuberculosis. One hundred eighty nine patients with proven tuberculosis, who initially received standard antituberculosis therapy, were retrospectively studied.
