  • Title: [Bronchial stenosis of tuberculous etiology: pathogenesis and treatment].
    Author: Oliveira-Vianna Edos S, Lorenzi Filho G, Pimentel M, Pedreira Júnior WL, Amato MB, de Carvalho CR, Barbas Filho JV.
    Journal: Rev Hosp Clin Fac Med Sao Paulo; 1991; 46(4):190-2. PubMed ID: 1843718.
    Abstract:
    Four cases of bronchial stenosis as an unusual complication of tuberculosis are described. In the first case, a 18-year-old woman, the bronchial stenosis resulted from cicatrization of a primary focus. The X-ray examination showed no pulmonary lesion and she did not receive any specific treatment for tuberculosis. In other three patients the bronchial stenosis was due to active disease, and there were acid-fast bacilli in the sputum. They received treatment for tuberculosis which resulted in resolution of stenosis in one of them while in the other two the fibrotic bronchial stenosis persisted.
