TAILIEUCHUNG - Pulmonary Tuberculosis: Detailed History of Presenting Illness (HPI)

All the necessary information and data were collected from both medical records of the patients and special questionnaires that were designed by our staff in 1996 for this purpose. Statistical analysis was carried out descriptively by using frequency and percentage. Presence of TB in the patients was confirmed by identifying the microorganism in the tissues detecting pathological changes in favour of TB and/or having past history of pulmonary TB associated with its anatomical complications such as cavitation, bronchiectasis, and bronchial stenosis. Results: A total number of 172 patients underwent surgical procedures either for diagnosis of TB or managing its complications. Lobectomy was performed in 27 patients. | put together by Alex Yartsev Sorry if i used your images or data and forgot to reference you.
