Journal Title: GJRA-Global Journal For Research Analysis - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 11
Abstract
India contributes to almost 27% of global load of TB. Radiographs remain the mainstay of imaging for Pulmonary TB. Aim: In this study, we describe the pattern seen at a peripheral hospital during the Xray follow up of newly detected TB cases following completion of treatment. Methodolgy : A retrospective observational study carried out at a peripheral hospital of North India. Chest x-rays of patients were studied prior to starting the treatment and at the end of their treatment during Oct 2016- May 2018. Results: A total of 173 new cases of pulmonary, pleural, and mediastinal tuberculosis were included. Residual x-ray lesions were observed in 72 cases (41.6%); 52 (72.2% ) of the residual lesions were parenchymal in nature, 18 were (25 %) pleural lesions, and 2 (2.8 % )were mediastinal lesions. Complete radiological resolution was seen in 102 (58.9%). Conclusion: A signicant proportion of patients having clinical improvement and successful completion of treatment show residual sequelae on radiographs.
