  • Title: Persisting alveolitis in miliary tuberculosis despite treatment with short-course chemotherapy.
    Author: Vijayan VK, Jawahar MS, Reetha AM, Prabhakar R.
    Journal: Indian J Chest Dis Allied Sci; 1990; 32(1):49-53. PubMed ID: 2269497.
    Abstract:
    Bronchoalveolar lavages in two patients with miliary tuberculosis have shown lymphocytic alveolitis. A 6-month regimen with an initial intensive 2-month phase resulted in remarkable clinical and radiographic improvement in both. However, bronchoalveolar lavage following treatment has shown that there was a persistence of lymphocytic alveolitis, though with reduced intensity. The significance of the persisting alveolitis, despite treatment, is not known at present. There is also a suggestion that compartment-alisation of lymphocytes may occur in miliary tuberculosis of the lung.
