Over the past decade, endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has become an indispensable tool in diagnostic armamentarium of pulmonologist. As expertise with EBUS-TBNA evolved and several innovations have occurred, indications for its use expanded. However, aspects are still not standardized. Hence, evidence-based guidelines needed to optimize yield safety EBUS-TBNA. For this purpose, a working group experts from India was constituted. A detailed...
Prospective cohort study.We report the first study of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in spine. The aim was to determine clinical, radiologic, and drug resistance profile as well factors associated with treatment outcome MDR-TB spine.Tuberculosis spine is most common extrapulmonary form Asian subcontinent. disease few cases resistant primary anti-Koch's medications number detected on rise. Multidrug ill reported literature. diagnosis, management thus remains a challenge treating...
Pleural effusion is a common problem in our country, and most of these patients need invasive tests as they can’t be evaluated by blood alone. The simplest them diagnostic pleural aspiration, techniques such medical thoracoscopy are being performed more frequently than ever before. However, physicians India treat empirically, leading to delays diagnosis, misdiagnosis complications from wrong treatments. This situation must change, the adoption evidence-based protocols urgently needed....
A single center pilot study, open labeled, prospective randomized clinical trial.To compare six versus 12 months of anti TB therapy in patients with biopsy proven spinal TB.There is no clear consensus or evidence based guidelines for the duration treatment tuberculosis. We studied if 6 and tubercular (ATT) had equivalent outcomes at 24 from completion therapy.A labeled trial ATT spinal-vertebral The primary end point was absence recurrence after completing therapy. Secondary points were cure...
Influenza, a common cause of acute respiratory infections, is an important health problem worldwide, including in India. Influenza associated with several complications; people comorbidities and the elderly are at higher risk for such complications. Moreover, influenza virus constantly changes genetically, thereby worsening therapeutic outcomes. Vaccination effective measure prevention influenza. Despite availability global guidelines on vaccination adults, country-specific based regional...
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a complex and heterogeneous group of acute chronic diseases several known unknown causes. While clinical practice guidelines (CPG) for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have been recently updated, CPG ILD other than IPF are needed.
Similar to the global scenario, pneumococcal diseases are a significant health concern in India. Pneumococcal occur frequently among adults and largely preventable through vaccines. Globally, several guidelines recommendations available for vaccination adults. However, owing wide variations disease burden, regulatory landscape, health-care system India, such cannot be unconditionally implemented throughout country. To address these gaps, Indian Chest Society National College of Physicians...
During the times of ongoing COVID pandemic, aerosol-generating procedures such as bronchoscopy have potential transmission severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 to healthcare workers. The decision perform during pandemic should be taken judiciously. Over years, indications for in clinical practice expanded. Experts at Indian Association Bronchology perceived need develop a concise statement that would assist bronchoscopist performing safely. current Consensus Statement provides...
ABSTRACT Medical Thoracoscopy (MT) is commonly performed by respiratory physicians for diagnostic as well therapeutic purposes. The aim of the study was to provide evidence-based information regarding all aspects MT, both a tool and aid pulmonologists across India. consensus-based guidelines were formulated based on multistep process using set 31 questions. A systematic search published randomized controlled clinical trials, open labelled studies, case reports from electronic databases, like...
<b>Introduction:</b> Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an increasingly recognized immune-mediated condition comprised of disorders that share features which include tumour-like swelling involved organs, a lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate enriched in IgG4-positive plasma cells, and variable degree stormiform fibrosis. <b>Case:</b> A 40 year old lady, presented with Low grade fever, Right Axillary swelling, constitutional symptoms. node Biopsy showed caseating granulomas, she was...
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major cause of mortality worldwide. Effective control TB is being hampered by the prolonged duration therapy which leads to poor patient compliance. This can lead increased relapse rates and emergence drug-resistant organisms, thus further compounding problem. An exciting new avenue reduce use high-dose rifampicin. High-dose rifampicin extensively studied data exciting. It has shown result in better sterilization earlier culture conversion with no increase adverse...
<b>Introduction:</b> Complicated pleural effusions continue to be associated with high morbidity and mortality. Besides standard care (intercostal tube drainage, intravenous antibiotics chest physiotherapy);treatment modalities such as intra-pleural instillation of streptokinase/urokinase/DNase are practiced though none being standardized. <b>Aim:</b> In this study we compared the clinical outcome normal saline irrigation versus streptokinase in patients complicated effusion. <b>Materials...
