- W2033592588 abstract "Abstract Recent studies have shown that there is an increase in the incidence of mycobacterium tuberculosis (MBT). This is more prevalent among immune compromised patients (those on dialysis) and recipients of organ transplants. Furthermore, extra‐pulmonary presentation appears to be more common and difficult to diagnose. We aimed in this study to assess and evaluate the presentation of MBT in a retrospective study conducted among 256 hemodialysis (HD) patients where 18 of them were diagnosed and managed for tuberculosis over a 10‐year period between 1990 and 2000. The mean age of the patients was 38 years (21–75 years). The mean interval between the onset of HD and the time of diagnosis was about 24 months (1–120 months). The diagnosis of tuberculosis was made either by isolation of acid‐fast bacilli (AFB), the typical caseating granuloma on biopsy, or by recovery of tubercle bacilli from the culture of the biopsy material. Extra‐pulmonary tuberculosis was more common (77.8%) than pulmonary tuberculosis (22.2%). The various extra‐pulmonary tuberculosis sites noted were cervical lymphadenitis (16.7%), gastrointestinal (16.7%), genitourinary (11.1%), peritonitis (11.1%), pleural effusion (5.6%), pericardial effusion (5.6%), miliary tuberculosis (5.6%), and pyrexia of unknown origin (5.6%). None of the patients with extra‐pulmonary tuberculosis had evidence of pulmonary tuberculosis. The atypical presentation with insidious onset was quite common. Anergy to tuberculin skin test was noticed in 56% of cases. All of our patients received modified antituberculosis treatment for 1 year with adequate response, and without undue side effects. We conclude that a high index of suspicion is required especially in the diagnosis of extra‐pulmonary tuberculosis, and when there is a high percentage of anergy to tuberculin skin test. Tissue biopsy both for characteristic histology and demonstration of MTB, either by staining or culture, remains the main criteria for the diagnosis of extra‐pulmonary tuberculosis." @default.
