Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Pediatric Radiology"
DOI: 10.1007/s00247-017-3887-9
Abstract: BackgroundBecause small, pliable paediatric airways are easily compressed by enlarged lymph nodes, detection of radiographic airway compression might be an objective criterion for diagnosing pulmonary tuberculosis.ObjectiveTo investigate the frequency and inter-observer agreement of airway compression… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00408-019-00275-8
Abstract: Observational studies investigating household air pollution (HAP) exposure to biomass fuel smoke as a risk factor for pulmonary tuberculosis have reported inconsistent results. To evaluate the association between HAP exposure and the prevalence of self-reported… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00580-017-2559-3
Abstract: Diagnosis and treatment evaluation of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) are time-consuming, so a non-conventional approach should be considered. Our study investigates the utility of CA125 and CA15-3 in differentiation of PTB from other pulmonary infections and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10517-018-4319-z
Abstract: The effects levofloxacin (fluoroquinolone) and vaccinal BCG strain on cytokine production by blood mononuclear leukocytes was studied in patients with infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis. Combined treatment with levofloxacin and vaccinal BCG strain suppressed the production of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12026-018-9052-1
Abstract: Clinical and radiological features of tuberculosis and sarcoidosis are quite overlapping, and therefore, a diagnostic dilemma often persists. There are no commonly accepted criteria for the diagnosis of sarcoidosis due to the lack of data… read more here.
