  • Title: [Tuberculosis in patients treated with chronic dialysis].
    Author: Simeonov P, Todorov K, Patev E, Kiriakov Z.
    Journal: Vutr Boles; 1979; 18(4):69-74. PubMed ID: 494635.
    Abstract:
    Four cases with tuberculosis, not differentiated clinically and one case with ordinary septic process, falsly diagnosed as tuberculosis are described in patients treated with long-term hemodialysis. The errors admitted are analyzed, the significance of the atypical tuberculosis forms being stressed upon, especially miliary tuberculosis, pulmonary uremic edema, resembling disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis as well as of reduced activity in searching and diagnosis of tuberculosis. A plan and indications for the treatment of those infections in patients with kidney diseases are presented, treated with long-term hemodialysis.
