PRIMARY TUBERCULOSIS WITH DEMOSTRATIVE RADIOGRAPHIC RESULTS IN AN ADULT PATIENT

Abstract

A 21-year-old woman with a two-month history of left pleuritic chest pain, fatigue, cough and night sweating was referred to our department. The postero-anterior chest radiogram showed left-sided pleural effusion, extending to the edge of the fourth anterior rib; left hilary enlargement and a 2x3 cm semi-homogenous density with its irregular shape on the left upper zone. There were many linear densities between this lesion and left hilus. A thoracentesis was performed from the left hemithorax. Pleural fluid biochemistry showed an exudative pleurisy with high Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) level of 59 U/L. In the cytological examination of the pleural fluid, there were many lymphocytes, and no mesothelial cell. The sputum smears for acid-fast bacilli were negative three times. The culture was positive for AFB on the first month. The patient was established as primary tuberculosis because of Ghon complex on the Chest X-Ray, laboratory findings and her history. On the tirth week of antituberculosis therapy with Isoniasid, Rifampicine, Morphozinamide and Streptomycine, the pleural fluid improved and Ghon complex regressed after the treatment. This case was presented for its demonstrative radiological findings for primary tuberculosis.
