Abstract

AIM: Although essentially a medical condition, ignorance, non-compliance with treatment and late presentation encourage development of complications that require surgical intervention. This study aime to investigate the clinico-pathologic characteristics of our pleuropulmonary tuberculosis patients with surgical complications and the outcome of surgical treatment offered. METHODS: Case files of pleuropulmonary tuberculosis patients who were surgically treated for complications of their disease in the cardiothoracic surgery unit of the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital between November 2006 and October 2008 were retrospectively studied. Data on demography, socio economic parameters, clinical presentation, radiological/investigation findings, diagnosis, treatmen and outcome were collated for analysis. RESULTS: Out of 156 patients with pleuropulmonary tuberculosis diagnosed and treated by the Directly Observed Therapy Unit of the Hospital during the study period, 33 (21.2%) of them suffered surgically treated complications. The patients consisted of 19 males and 14 females (M:F = 1.3:1) with age range 2 68 years and mean 36.3 years. Seven types of surgically treated complications of pleuro-pulmonary tuberculosis were encountered including pleural effusion in 39.4%, broncho-pleural fistula (spontaneous pneumothorax) in 21%, empyema thoracis in 12%, emphysematous bulla (9.1%), lung abscess (6.1%), haemoptysis (9.1%), and a case of destroyed lung syndrome (3.0%) Surgical treatment given to the patients included closed tube thoracostomy drainage (69.7%), Monaldi tube decompression (9.1%), and thoracotomy and decortication (3.0%). CONCLUSION: The prevalence of surgically treated complications of pulmonary tuberculosis in this study is 21.2%, and we recommend a high index of suspicion, contact tracing and strict adherence to the modus operandi of directly observed continuous combined anti-tuberculous chemotherapy for pleuropulmonary tuberculosis.

Özet

AMAÇ: Akciğer tüberkülozunun asıl tedavisi tıbbi olmasına rağmen; ihmal, tedaviye uyumsuzluk ve geç başvuru nedeniyle cerrahi müdahale gerektiren komplikasyonlara yol açabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı cerrahi gerektiren komplikasyonları olan plöropulmoner tüberküloz hastalarının klinik ve patolojik karakteristiklerini ve sunulan cerrahi tedavinin sonuçlarını ararştırmaktır. YÖNTEM: Uyo Üniversitesi Eğitim Hastanesinin kardiyotorasik cerrahi bölümünde Kasım 2006-Ekim 2008 tarihleri arasında hastalık komplikasyonlarından dolayı cerrahi tedavi uygulanan plöropulmoner tüberküloz hastalarının dosyaları incelendi. BULGULAR: Çalışma süresince hastanenin Doğrudan Gözlemli Tedavi Birimince tanısı konan ve tedavi edilen 156 hastanın 33’ü (%21,1) cerrahi tedavi gerektiren komplikasyonlardan muzdaripti. 19’u erkek ve 14’ü kadın olan hastaların yaş ortalaması 36,3 olup 2-68 arasında değişmekteydi. Cerrahi tedavi gerektiren yedi tip komplikasyon ile karşılaşıldı. Hastaların %39,4’ünde plöral efüzyon, %21,0’ında bronkplöral fistül (spontan pnömotoraks), %12,0’ında torasik ampiyem, %9,1’inde amfizematöz bül, %6,1’inde akciğer absesi, %9,1’inde hemoptizi ve %3,0’ında harap olmuş akciğer sendromu gözlendi. Uygulanan cerrahi tedavi hastaların %67,9’unda kapalı tüp torakostomi drenajı, %9,1’inde Monaldi drenajı ve %3’ünde torakotomi ve dekortikasyon içermekteydi. SONUÇ: Bu çalışmada hastaların %21,2’sinde akciğer tüberkülozunun cerrahi olarak tedavi edildiği komplikasyonlar görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak yüksek şüphe düzeyi, temaslı izlemesi ve doğrudan gözetimli kombine tedavinin sıkı şekilde takibi önerilmektedir.
