Abstract

We report a case of an 18 months old boy admitted for respiratory distress and wheezing who did not respond to nebulized salbutamol and budesonid. On chest X ray and computed tomographic investigation, a right paratracheal regular mass was seen. During hospitalization the clinical status of the child deteriorated. An enlarged inflammatory lymph node was excised from its location after thoracotomy, and mediastinal tuberculous lymphadenitis was diagnosed histopathologically. It is important to take a chest radiograph in an infant suffering a first wheezing episode in a tuberculous prevalent area.

Özet

Solunum sıkıntısı ve vizing ile başvuran, salbutamol ve budesonid tedavisine yanıt vermeyen 18 aylık erkek infant olgusunu sunuyoruz. Göğüs röntgeni ve bilgisayarlı tomografi incelemesinde sağ paratrakeal düzgün kitle görüldü. Hastanede yatarken çocuğun klinik durumunda kötüleşme oldu. Torakotomi ile genişlemiş inflamatuar lenf nodu bulunduğu yerden eksize edildi, histopatolojik olarak mediastinal tüberküloz lenfadenit teşhis edildi. Tüberküloz prevalansının olduğu bir bölgede ilk vizing epizodu sıkıntısı olan bir infantta göğüs radyografisi çektirmek önemlidir.
