Active tuberculosis unrecognised until necropsy.

12 of the 24 cases of active tuberculosis which came to necropsy in Dundee hospitals from 1968 to 1975 were diagnosed after death. The overall distribution of anatomical types was similar to that in previous surveys, but in those diagnosed at necropsy there was an excess of psoas abscess and miliary, colonic, and adrenal lesions. Class-IV patients and a history of steroid therapy were also more common in cases diagnosed at necropsy. None of these differences is statistically significant.

Extrapulmonary tuberculosis in Oklahoma, 1965 to 1973.

Three hundred seventy cases of extrapulmonary tuberculosis were reported to the Oklahoma State Department of Health between January 1, 1965 and December 31, 1973. The annual number of cases reported showed no tendency to decrease with time. A greater proportion of cases reported in recent years had bacteriologic confirmation. When compared to the distribution of all newly diagnosed cases of tuberculosis in the population, a greater proportion of newly diagnosed cases of extrapulmonary tuberculosis occurred in nonwhites. This was especially true to tuberculous meningitis, tuberculous lymphadenitis, and miliary tuberculosis. Possible reasons for the failure of the number of newly reported cases of extrapulmonary tuberculosis to decrease in recent years are presented.

Tuberculous thyroiditis and miliary tuberculosis manifested postpartum in a patient with thyroid carcinoma.

Right nodular goiter with diffuse miliary shadow on chest roentgenogram was found in a postpartum febrile woman. Transbronchial lung biopsy revealed tuberculous granuloma and acid-fast bacilli were found by aspiration cytology of the thyroid. Although chemotherapy was effective, the thyroid nodule remained palpable and the serum thyroglobulin level remained high. Subtotal thyroidectomy revealed papillary carcinoma associated with tuberculosis and lymph nodes metastasis. This seems to be the first case report of a patient with tuberculous thyroiditis, coexisting with thyroid carcinoma, diagnosed by aspiration cytology and treated prior to surgery.

The endocrine syndrome of occult tuberculosis.

Based on clinical observations made in the "C.I. Parhon" Institute of Endocrinology and in a clinic of catching diseases in Bucharest, the authors have isolated an endocrine syndrome of occult tuberculosis. The disease shows signs and symptoms of endocrine glands involvement. The paper presents the pathogenesis, epidemic spread and endocrino-tuberculostatic management.

Diagnostic and therapeutic problems in a case of adrenal tuberculosis and acute Addison's disease.

A case of adrenal tuberculosis with acute Addison's disease is presented. The case showed diagnostic and therapeutic problems, the latter concerning the untoward effects due to metabolic interferences and pharmacologic interactions among antitubercular drugs, substitutive corticosteroid therapy and hepatic metabolism. The side-effects, interactions and metabolism of drugs used during the course of disease are discussed.

Tuberculosis of the thyroid bed presenting as recurrent medullary thyroid carcinoma.

A 69-year-old lady with previous medullary thyroid carcinoma treated by total thyroidectomy alone developed a swelling in the neck. This was thought to be a recurrence of her carcinoma but was found on investigation to be a tuberculous abscess of the thyroid bed. She was treated successfully by surgical drainage and antituberculous chemotherapy.

CT in adrenal enlargement due to tuberculosis: a review of literature with five new cases.

Tubercular adrenalitis presents with adrenal enlargement prior to its atrophy and calcification. Imaging modalities like ultrasound, computerized tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging have depicted adrenal enlargement due to various causes. Presented is a clinical-cum-CT review of 14 cases of tubercular adrenal enlargement with addition of five new cases and their CT follow-up.

Tuberculosis of the pancreas.

A 67-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of intermittent pain in the upper left quadrant of the abdomen. Ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a mass in the body of the pancreas, and angiography demonstrated encasement of the celiac trunk and splenic vein thrombosis. She was thought to have a pancreatic carcinoma and was surgically explored to obtain tissue for diagnosis. A hard and irregular tumor was found, and biopsies revealed granulomatous inflammation with caseous necrosis. The final diagnosis was tuberculosis, and treatment with rifampicin, isoniazid, and ethambutol was undertaken. One year later the patient is asymptomatic and new CT scan shows disappearance of the pancreatic mass.

Bilateral adrenal enlargement in Addison's disease caused by tuberculosis. Nephrotomographic demonstration.

Nephrotomography showed markedly enlarged adrenal glands in a 67-year-old man with acute Addison's disease due to tuberculosis. Other causes of acute adrenal insufficiency associated with enlarged adrenals are histoplasmosis and, rarely, bilateral metastatic carcinoma, amyloidosis, or hemorrhage. Radiologic demonstration of large adrenal glands in a patient with acute Addision's disease should strongly suggest an infectious etiology.

Addison's disease secondary to prostatic carcinoma. A case report.

Adrenal cortical insufficiency secondary to destruction of the cortex by a metastatic tumor is a rare condition. Addison's disease is usually caused by an autoimmune process or by a tuberculous infection. We report a case of adrenal insufficiency as the first clinical manifestation of a metastatic prostate carcinoma that occurred simultaneously with an active pulmonary infection by M. tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis of the thyroid: two case reports.

Tuberculosis of the thyroid gland occurs only rarely. Since extrapulmonary tuberculosis is now seen relatively more frequently the existence of this condition should be recognized. The cases of two patients with tuberculosis involving the thyroid are presented. The first, an Asian immigrant, presented with a painless goitre with no evidence of tuberculosis elsewhere. The second was an English woman who presented with hypothyroidism due to destruction of the thyroid by tuberculosis, and who subsequently died with disseminated tuberculosis; this is the only case to report the association between myxoedema and tuberculous thyroiditis. Other manifestations of thyroid tuberculosis and the pathological types are discussed.
