Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study, is to analyze the most common radiologic findings on computed tomography scans and determine the frequency of childhood pulmonary tuberculosis.Material and Methods: This was a retrospective study consisting of 145 patients who were admitted to Kanuni Sultan Suleyman Training and Research Hospital, between January 2012, and June 2012 with fever, cough, weight loss, and anorexia symptoms. Forty eight patients with tuberculosis (25 males, 23 females, aged between 1 and 17 years) who had been evaluated with clinical, laboratory and radiologic findings were enrolled in the study. We evaluated nodal, parenchymal, airway and pleural CT findings based on their distributions.Results: Parenchymal consolidation was detected in 37 of 48 patients (77 %) enrolled in the study. Cavitation was detected in 10 (20.8 %), miliary tuberculous in 4 (8.3 %), and "tree in bud"appearance in 6 (12.5 %), nodular density in 2 (4.16 %), bronchiectasis in 1 (2.08 %), pleural thickness in 4 (8.3 %), pleural effusion in 6 (12.5 %) and mediastinal or hilar lymph nodes in 21 cases (43.75 %).Conclusion: Radiological findings in childhood tuberculosis differ widely. CT is more specific than other radiologic methods in the early diagnosis and effective treatment of tuberculosis.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada çocukluk çağı akciğer tüberkülozunda, BT incelemesi ile en sık görülen radyolojik bulguların ve sıklığının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kanuni Sultan Süleyman Eğitim Araştırma Hastanesi'ne Ocak 2012-Haziran 2012 tarihleri arasında ateş, öksürük, kilo kaybı, istahsızlık yakınmaları ile başvuran 145 hasta retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Klinik, laboratuvar ve radyolojik değerlendirme sonucu tüberküloz tanısı alan 48 hasta (23 kız, 25 erkek, 1-17 yas aralığında) çalışmaya dâhil edildi. BT incelemesinde saptanan nodal, parankimal, hava yolu ve plevral bulgular dağılımlarına göre belirlendi.Bulgular: Kırk sekiz hastanın 37'sinde (% 77) parankimal konsolidasyon, 10'unda (% 20.8) kaviter lezyon, 4'ünde (% 8.3) milier yayılım, 6'sında (% 12.5) tomurcuklu dal görünümü, 2'sinde (% 4,16) nodüler dansite artımları saptandı. Bir hastada (% 2.08) bronşektazi, 4 hastada (% 8.3) plevral kalınlaşma, 6 hastada (% 12.5) plevral efüzyon mevcuttu. 48 hastanın 21'inde (% 43.75) mediastinal ve hileer lenf nodları saptandı.Sonuç: Çocukluk çağı tüberkülozunun radyolojik bulguları oldukça geniş kapsamlıdır. Tüberkülozun erken tanısı ve etkin tedavisinde diğer radyolojik yöntemlere göre BT incelemesi oldukça spesifiktir.
