Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations,diagnosis and treatment of extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB)meningitis. Methods One case of primary tuberculousis meningitis infected with multidrug-resistant mycobacteria was analyzed retrospectively.Relevant literatures were also reviewed by retrieving information through Wanfang Database and Pubmed using key words "multiple drug resistant tuberculosis meningitis","MDR tuberculosis meningitis","multiple drug resistant TBM","mul-drug resistant tuberculous meningitis","extensively drug resistant tuberculosis meningitis","XDR TBM","extensively drug resistant TBM" both in Chinese and English. Results A 24-year-old male patient,complained of headache,vomiting for 5 days,aggravated with mental abnormalities for 10 hours,with no history of pulmonary tuberculosis,was hospitalized in the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical College.The chest plain film was normal.Craniocerebral CT scan showed mild-hydrocephalus and cisterna ambiens stenosis.The patient died after undergoing anti-TB treatments with isoniazid(INH)0.3g iv qd,INH 0.3g po qd,rifampicin(RFP)0.45g qd,pyrazinamide(PZA)1.5g qd,ethambutol(EMB)0.75g qd,and dexamethasone(DEX)15mg qd.He was diagnosed as XDR-TB meningitis(as drug-resistant to isoniazid,rifampicin,streptomycin,ciprofloxacin,paminosalicylic acid,kanamycin,and protionamide ).Mycobacteria tuberculosis was isolated from his cerebrospinal fluid after 3 months.Five cases in 4 literatures were retrieved through Wanfang database and Pubmed among which 2 cases were initial treated,3 cases was unknown about initial treatment or re-treatment. Conclusions XDR-TB meningitis is rare in clinical practice with serious condition,rapid progress and high mortality rate.It is necessary to acquire drug susceptibility test results as soon as possible and adjust treatments according different conditions.A molecular drug susceptibility test may be helpful in the future.
ObjectivesTo evaluate the clinical value of laparoscopic exploration in the diagnosis of tuberculous peritonitis by meta-analysis.MethodsThe Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, WanFang Data, CNKI and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect relevant studies on the diagnostic value of laparoscopic exploration in diagnosing tuberculous peritonitis from January 1st, 1990 to April 1st, 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed risk of bias of included studies. The Rveman 5.3, Meta-DiSc 1.4 and Stata SE15 software were used for statistical analysis and the receiver operating characteristic curve (SROC) was drawn.ResultsA total of 10 studies involving 1098 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, diagnosis odds ratio and area under the curve of SROC were 0.98 (95%CI 0.96 to 0.98), 0.85 (95%CI 0.78 to 0.91), 4.78 (95%CI 1.98 to 11.54), 0.06 (95%CI 0.03 to 0.12), 111.40 (95%CI 36.55 to 339.58) and 0.971 1, respectively and the Q* was 0.9216.ConclusionsThe existing evidence shows that laparoscopic exploration has higher sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of tuberculous peritonitis. Laparoscopic exploration can be used as a diagnosis and treatment tool for patients with tuberculous peritonitis in case the laboratory test cannot determine the origin. Due to the limited quality and quantity of included studies, the above results should be validated by more studies.
ObjectiveTo analyze the curative effect and prognosis of drug resistant tuberculosis meningitis (TBM). MethodsRetrospective analysis was carried out on the clinical data of thirty-two cases of drug resistant tuberculous meningitis patients hospitalized from January 2010 to December 2015. And the prognosis of the patients was evaluated by meliorated Rankin Scale (mRS). ResultsThirty-one cases (96.9%) were improved in 32 patients with drug resistant TBM, and 1 case (3.1%) was ineffective. After treatment, one patient had hormone-related glaucoma and osteoporosis, and one patient had drug Cushing syndrome. Twenty-seven patients (84.4%) had an mRS score equal to or less than 2 points. ConclusionDrug resistant TBM is difficult to diagnose in the early stage, and the curative effect is satisfying with active anti-tuberculosis treatment.
【摘要】 目的 探讨结核性腹膜炎的CT诊断价值。 方法 回顾性分析2009年10月-2010年7月22例经手术、病理或抗结核治疗确诊的结核性腹膜炎CT完整资料。主要观察:淋巴结、腹水、腹膜、系膜、网膜改变。 结果 淋巴结肿大12例，增强后呈“环状”强化改变。腹腔积液15例，少～中量12例，聚集在肠系膜根部、结肠旁沟及盆腔较多，CT值20～28HU。腹膜增厚16例，其中14例均匀光滑增厚，10例明显强化；大网膜增厚15例，其中饼状增厚2例、污垢样增厚9例、结节样4例。肠系膜增厚18例，3例肠袢聚集、粘连。伴有其他脏器结核13例。 结论 CT对诊断和鉴别诊断结核性腹膜炎具有较大的临床价值，结合临床多数结核性腹膜炎可作出正确诊断。【Abstract】 Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of CT scan for tuberculotic peritonitis. Methods The complete CT image data of 22 patients with tuberculotic peritonitis confirmed by surgical, pathologically, or therapeutic procedures from October 2009 to July 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. The changes of lymph nodes, ascites, thickened peritoneum, mesentery and greater omentum were observed. Results In 22 patients, enlargement and rim enhancement of lymph nodes were found in 12; ascites with CT value of 20-28 HU was in 15, of whom 12 had small or middle amount of effusion which located in mesentery or abdominal cavity; thickened parietal peritoneum was in 16, including smooth peritoneum in 14 and evident enhancement in 10; thickened greater omeutum was in 15, including cake-like thickening in 2, filth-like thickening in 9 and tuber-like thickening in 4; thickened mesentery was in 18, including intestinal loop adhesion in 3.A total of 13 patients were combined with other tuberculosis. Conclusion CT scan is very important in diagnosing and differentially diagnosing tuberculous perinitis.
ObjectiveTo investigate the overall accuracy of interleukin-12 (IL-12) for diagnosis of tuberculous pleurisy. MethodsWe searched in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases, WanFang Data, and VIP Information for qualified studies that reported diagnostic accuracy of IL-12 for tuberculous pleurisy up to February 2014. The methodological quality of each study was evaluated by Quality assessment of diagnostic accuracy studies. Statistical analyses were performed by Meta-Disc 1.4 software and the pooled sensitivity, specificity and other diagnostic indexes. Meta-analysis of the reported accuracy of each study and summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve were also performed. ResultsEight studies met the inclusion criteria for the analysis. The summary estimates for IL-12 in the diagnosis of tuberculous pleurisy were:sensitivity 0.80 [95% CI (0.76, 0.84)], specificity 0.76 [95% CI (0.71, 0.81)], positive likelihood ratio 3.23 [95% CI (2.26, 4.60)], negative likelihood ratio 0.30 [95% CI (0.20, 0.45)], diagnostic odds ratio 13.57 [95% CI (6.66, 27.64)], and the area under the curve of SROC was 0.86. ConclusionIL-12 plays a valuable role in the diagnosis of tuberculous pleurisy, and IL-12 may be a useful diagnostic marker for tuberculous pleurisy.
