Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the clinical characters and treatment of nasopharyngeal tuberculosis, and to provide a scientific basis for improving clinical diagnosis of nasopharyngeal tuberculosis.
METHOD:The clinical materials of 50 patients diagnosed as nasopharyngeal tuberculosis in Guangzhou Chest Hospital were reviewed and analyzed. All the 50 patients were given regular antituberculosis treatment with 3HRZS(E)/9HR(E) for one year, and were treated through nasal spray with combination medication of isoniazid, rifampicin and streptomycin injection solution for 3 months.
RESULT:All patients were cured through regular antituberculosis treatment for one year, and no recrudescence cases were found in 2 years of follow-up.
CONCLUSION:Nasopharyngeal tuberculosis is rare and the clinical manifestation is atypical. It is extremely easy to cause clinical misdiagnosis. A full understanding of the pathogenesis, timely clinical characters under nasopharyngoscope and histopathological examination results are the keys to diagnosis, and to giving regular antituberculosis treatment to obtain satisfactory curative effect.
