Abstract

Background: Anthraco-fibrosis is a potential risk factor for tuberculosis (TB). The aim of this study was to compare the incidence of pulmonary TB in patients with anthracosis and patients without anthracosis. Methods: In this study, all patients who were admitted to the study were selected through enumeration method between 2017 and 2018. Patients with radiological evidence of TB has been considered as suspected of pulmonary TB, and bronchoscopy has been used to detect anthracosis. 40 patients were enrolled as anthracosis patients and 138 as non-anthracosis group. The final diagnosis of active tuberculosis was performed by PCR assay using bronchoalveolar lavage. The data were analyzed by SPSS V.22 using chi-square and logistic regression tests. Results: The incidence of active TB in women and men was 19.3% and 2.1%, respectively (p < 0.001) and the incidence of anthracosis was 28.9% and 16.8% respectively (p = 0.05) which both had a significant difference and were higher in women. Of all patients with anthracosis, 22.5% had active TB. The findings showed that exposure to smoke and anthracosis increases the risk of TB significantly (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the patients with anthracosis and those who had long-term exposure to smoke are needed to be evaluated in case of active tuberculosis.
炭疽病患者肺结核的发病率
背景:炭疽纤维化是结核病(TB)的潜在危险因素。本研究的目的是比较炭疽病患者和非炭疽病患者的肺结核发病率。方法:本研究采用枚举法选取2017 - 2018年间纳入研究的所有患者。有结核放射学证据的患者被认为是疑似肺结核,支气管镜检查已用于检测炭疽病。40例为炭疽病组,138例为非炭疽病组。通过支气管肺泡灌洗进行PCR检测,最终诊断为活动性肺结核。数据采用SPSS V.22进行分析,采用卡方检验和logistic回归检验。结果:男性和女性活动性结核的发病率分别为19.3%和2.1% (p < 0.001),炭疽病的发病率分别为28.9%和16.8% (p = 0.05),两者差异有统计学意义,且女性较高。在所有炭疽病患者中,22.5%为活动性结核。研究结果表明,暴露于烟雾和炭疽病显著增加结核病的风险(p < 0.001)。结论:本研究结果表明,活动性结核病需要对炭疽病患者和长期接触烟雾者进行评估。
