Bullous lung disease caused by tuberculosis is rare, and complications have a poor prognosis with uncertain pathophysiologic mechanisms. We describe 29-year-old male patient who was admitted to the emergency department due bilateral tension pneumothorax, which complicated bronchopleural fistula. This managed placement of chest tubes, continuity anti-TB drug treatment, Heimlich valve placement.
Rationale: Antituberculosis drugs (ATDs) could cause severe and rare reactions, such as Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) syndrome. Recovering ATDs might guarantee a higher cure rate for tuberculosis patients. Our aim was to evaluate the results of desensitization re-desensitization recover in case series patients DRESS Patient concerns diagnoses: A retrospective study conducted on syndrome due therapy from 2021 2023. Desensitization protocols, designed an algorithm...
