Contact investigation was carried out using both the QFT-3G and T-SPOT tuberculosis (TB) tests on the same subjects and the test results were compared.Method: The QFT-3G and T-SPOT tests were performed simultaneously at three time points during the contact inves- tigation, so just after tuberculosis registration (n =14), at 3 months post registration (n=24), and at 2 years post regis- tration (n=22). Chest radiography was also performed for all subjects (n = 3 1) just after the registration.Results: From the contact investigation results, 2 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis and 14 of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) were detected. It was considered that the TB infection rate was high in the investigated group. The QFT-3G and T-SPOT positive rates, respectively, were 71 % (10/14) and 29% (4/14) just after registration, 38% (9/24) and 4% (1/24) at 3 months post registration, and 27% (6/22) and 5% (1/22) at 2 years post registration, and deviated from each other significantly (concordance rate, Ic 0.16 - 0.27). The positive rate of QFT-3G was significantly higher than that of T-SPOT, and QFT-3G could detect TB infection earlier than T-SPOT.

The patients did not have human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and received anti-tuberculous drugs intravenously due to the inability to receive drugs orally.Results: Twenty-seven patients were intravenously treated with isoniazid (INH), streptomycin (SM) and LVFX (HLS), and 38 patients were treated with INH and SM (HS). For both groups, mean age was very high (80.6±15.0 years, HLS group; 81.0± 12.1 years, HS group) and serum albumin levels were low (2.0 ± 0.62 mg/dl and 2.1 ± 0.42 mg/dl, respectively). Most patients were administered oxygen (81.5%, HLS; 78.9 %, HS). In radiological findings, most patients had bilateral (92.6%, HLS; 92.1%, HS) and widely spread (55.6%, HLS; 57.9%, HS) shadows.

The duration of treatment and hospitalization, and the treat- ment outcomes of TB patients notified in 2013 were also eval- uated by using a cohort analysis. Of the 19,615 newly notified TB patients in 2014, 1,179 had a previous history of TB treatment. Approximately 90% of all TB patients aged 15-49 years were treated with isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol (or strepto- mycin), which is the globally recommended regimen for initial treatment. However, the proportion of patients receiv- ing the standard regimen decreased with their increasing age, and sharply dropped for those aged ≥80 years. Of 15,149 patients with pulmonary TB (PTB), more than 50% of those aged 50 years were hospitalized at the beginning of the TB treatment; the proportion of those hospitalized in each age group increased with the increasing age of the patients. At the end of 2014, the median durations of hospitalization and treatment for all forms of TB notified in 2013 were 62 and 273 days, respectively. For cases notified in 2013, the rates of treatment success for patients with new sputum smear-positive PTB (n=7,600) and for those on re-treatment (n= 529) were 49.6% and 41.8%, respectively. In addition, the treatment success rates for foreign-born patients with new sputum smear-positive PTB (n=289), and those on re- treatment (n= 19) were 59.5% and 36.8%, respectively. The rates lost to follow-up for patients with new sputum smear- positive PTB and those undergoing re-treatment were well below 5% when considering the total number of patients (both foreign-born and Japan-born), as well as only the foreign-born patients.

[Results] A total of 845 subjects, aged between 20 and 70 years old, were enrolled in this study.

A contrast- enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan showed a low-density mass in the body of the pancreas, indicative of a malignancy. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration of the pancreatic mass was performed three times and showed no specific findings. A distal pancreatectomy was performed, and a pathological examination revealed epitheli- oid cell granulomas and necrosis. Ziehl-Neelsen staining did not reveal acid-fast bacilli in the pancreatic mass. A diagnosis of tuberculosis or sarcoidosis of the pancreas was con- sidered; however, the patient chose to undergo a follow-up examination without therapeutic intervention because the pancreatic mass had been removed completely and she had recovered well. Four months after the operation, the patient was readmitted to our hospital for insulin therapy for pancreatic diabetes. She presented with a fever and a productive cough, and a chest CT scan showed multiple nodules in both upper lobes. A bronchoscopy was performed and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cultures for Mycobacterium tuberculosis were positive. The patient received antitubercular quadri-therapy and showed symptomatic and radiologic improvement. At the initial examination, we had been unable to establish the correct diagnosis; however, the detection of pulmonary lesions led to the time-delayed diagnosis of pancreatic tuber- culosis. Owing to its rarity, it is difficult to diagnose pancreatic tuberculosis using clinical symptoms and radiological imaging modalities; thus, pathologic and bacteriologic confirmation is essential. To avoid performing an unnecessary laparotomy in patients with pancreatic tuberculosis, increased vigilance and an accurate diagnostic approach are required.","PeriodicalId":17997,"journal":{"name":"Kekkaku : [Tuberculosis]","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36867015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chest computed tomography (CT) confirmed left swelling in the cervical lymph node and the axillary lymph node. We performed a lymph node biopsy and diagnosed tuberculosis of the lymph nodes (the left cervical region and the axilla). The patient was treated with anti-tuberculosis drugs (isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide) in December 14, 201X-1. After initiating the therapy, the fever resolved, and his general conditions gradually improved. Thus, the patient recovered well because of the anti-tubercu- losis therapy. Despite maintaining good general conditions, the patient experienced increasing swelling in his left hemi- thorax around the end of January 201X. A chest CT showed a clear fluid-filled mass in the left thoracic wall. Microscopic examination of the specimen obtained by CT-guided needle biopsy showed positive results for acid-fast bacteria and polymerase chain reaction for Mycobacterium tuberculosis indicated that the anti-tuberculosis therapy had failed. How- ever, the patient's general conditions remained good, and the results of blood laboratory tests were stable. Thus, we concluded that the mass was the result of a paradoxical response to the anti-tuberculosis therapy, and we reinstated the same therapy. Although the fluid-filled mass recurred in the same region less than a month following the first anti-tuberculosis therapy, the mass spontaneously regressed when the therapy was reinstated. Thus, we confirmed that a paradoxical response was the cause of the clinical course in this patient.","PeriodicalId":17997,"journal":{"name":"Kekkaku : [Tuberculosis]","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36865810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
