  • Bronhoskopska diagnostika pljučne tuberkuloze = Diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis by flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy
    Triller, Nadja ...
    Background. When tuberculosis is clinically suspected, bronchoscopy is indicated in patients after three or more negative sputum smears. Methods. From April to December 1998 we examined 50 patients ... with clinical suspicion ofactive TB with three or more negative sputum smears. Samples for cytology, histology and bacteriology were taken by routine techniques (bronchial biopsy,bronchoscopic lung biopsy, washing, brushing and bronchoscopic needle aspiration). We also examined sputum immediately after bronchoscopy. We used standard bacteriological methods (microscopic examination, isolation of mycobacteria by culture and amplification testing). Results. We examined 50 patients (35 males and 15 females, age 50.5 +-15.1 yr.) and confirmed active diseases in 11 (22%) of them. Positive bacteriological samples were bronchial washings (73%), brushings (45%), bronchoscopic lung biopsies (36%) and sputum after bronchoscopy (45%). Conclusion. In sputum smear negative patients we confirmed that bronchoscopy could provide adequate samples for bacteriologicaland/or histological confirmation of active tuberculosis.
