  • A Seminar by: Sandeep kumar sharma
  • Guided by: Dr.Samir Bhadri
  • HOD in maulika siddanta
  • SDAC Siddapur (N.K.)

  • Dedicated to my
  • respected Father and
  • mother..

9.

  • Rajayakshma:Because King Chandra suffered this disease first time.
  • Kshaya : It Diminishes strength and activities.
  • Sosa : Because it dries up Rasadi dhatus.
  • Rogarat : It is a powerful disease. It is a disease which is very difficult to treat.

10. King Chandra married 28 daughters of Dakshaprajapati but unable to satisfy all except Rohini as he was more interested in her. So remaining complaint to their father and Daksha Prajapati became furious and his anger came out of his mouth through expiration and King Chandra suffered by Rajayakshma. Mythological history (charaka s.chi.8/3-12) 11. Due to occurrence of disease first time in Raja so called as Rajayakshma. 12. Hetu

  • ;
  • - , ( . . .6/3 )

(c.s.ni.6/3 and s.s.u.41/9) 13. 1) Sahasa or (over exertion) 2) Sandharana (suppression of natural urges 3) Kshaya (wasting) 4) Vishamashana (irregular dieting) There are four etiological factors Acc. To charaka 14. : :( . . .41/9 ) 15. There are four etiological factors acc. To susruta

  • Khsaya
  • Vega pratighata
  • Aaghata
  • vishamaashana

16. When a person does the work which is out of his capacity is called as Sahasa. Acharya Charaka mentioned different examples of Sahasa like: 1.Sahasa or aaghataja 17.

  • - when a week person fights with a stronger person
  • - perform exercise with big bow
  • - speaks too much
  • - carries over weight
  • - swims for longer distance
  • - subjected to forceful anointing therapy
  • application of pressure by feet
  • - running fast for longer distance.
  • - Practices such other irregular regimens and physical exercise in excess.

. 18. Samprapti

  • As a result of these factors his chest becomes wounded
  • the wounded chest gets saturated with Vata
  • brings abnormality in both Pitta and kapha
  • spreads upwards, downwards and sideways.

19.

  • Due to injury to chest, patient constantly suffers from coughing due to irregular movement of Vata and irritation of throat.
  • Frequent coughing leads to Haemoptysis and weakness and causes Rajayakshma.

20. Lakshanas

  • These vitiated doshas after entering the sandhis (joints) cause:
  • Jrambha (yawning),
  • Angamarda (Pain in body parts) and
  • Jwara (fever).

21.

  • After entering the Amashaya causes:
  • Uro-roga (chest disease)
  • Arochaka (anorexia)
  • After entering the Kantha (throat) causes:
  • Kanthodhwamsa (irritation of throat)
  • Swara bheda (hoarseness of voice)

22.

  • After entering the Pranavaha srotasas causes:
  • Swasa (dyspnoea)
  • Pratishyaya (rhinitis)
  • After entering in head produces:
  • Sira shula (distress in head)

23. 2)Sandharanaja or vega pratighataja(Suppression of natural urges)

  • Due to suppression of natural urges of Apana vata, mutra (urine) and mala (flatus) because of:
  • Attending the king or master
  • At the feet of the Guru
  • While gambling

24.

  • Attending meetings of gentleman
  • Stree madhye (in b/w ladies)
  • While travelling on uneven vehicle
  • Bhaya (Due to fear)
  • Prasanga or during Maithuna
  • Lajja
  • Ghruna (badboo utpanna hone ke dar se)

25. Samprapti ofsandharana janya Rajayakshma

  • Due to above mentioned factors the Vata gets vitiated
  • abnormality in Pitta and kapha
  • after this vata moves downwards, upwards &sideways
  • produces different symptoms.

26. Lakshanas of sandharana janyaRajayakshma

  • Shula (abdominal pain)
  • Mala bheda (atisara) or hardness of stool
  • Pain in ribs or sides of the chest, shoulder
  • Irritation in chest and throat
  • Headache
  • cough
  • Dyspnoea
  • Fever
  • Hoarseness of voice

27. 3. Kshaya hetu

  • Anuloma kshayaja hetus:
  • Excessive shoka (grief), chinta (worry), Irshya (envy ness), Utkantha (anxiety), Bhaya, Krodha afflicts heart.
  • Ruksha aahara
  • Alpahar (less intake of food)
  • Anahar (excessive fasting)

28.

  • All above etiological factors leads to Rasa dhatu kshaya which leads to manifestation of sosa Roga.
  • Delay in management causes Rajayakshma.

29. Pratiloma kshayaja Hetu

  • Ati Maithuna

30. - Ati Maithuna leads to Shukradhatu kshaya - after Shukra kshaya if person indulges in sexual activity - no semen ejaculation - vata enters the blood vesselsand causes blood dischargehaving vata gunas from seminal passage. Samprapti of kshaya janya Rajayakshma 31.

  • vitiated vata spreading the entire body and aggravates Pitta and kapha
  • Pitta dries up the mamsa and rakta
  • leads to sosa
  • leads to Rajayakshma

32. Lakshanas

  • Pain in the side of the chest and shoulders.
  • irritation in throat
  • Angamarda
  • Aruchi
  • Indigestion
  • Jwara, kasa, swarabhada, pratishyaya (due to pratiloma vata)

33.

  • Excess kasa leads to sputum along with rakta and due to rakta kshaya further dhatu formation stops and person becomes weekend and leads to Rajayakshma.
  • Thats why one should protect his Shukra dhatu.

34. Vishamashana hetu

  • Ifthe person adopts unhealthy dietetic pattern will lead to Rajayakshma.

35. Samprapti of vishamashanaja Rajayakshma

  • When a person does pana, ashana, bhakshya, lehya upayoga opposite to the prakruti, karan, desha, kala, upayoga samstha and upashaya then his doshas get vitiated
  • these vitiated dosha obstructs the srotasas
  • maximum part of the food turns into pureesh and mutra
  • no rasadi dhatu formation
  • Sosa
  • Leads to Rajayakshma.

36.

  • Here vitiated Vata leads to:
  • Shula
  • Angamarda
  • Kanthodhwamsa
  • Parshva samrujan
  • swarabheda
  • pratishyaya

37.

  • Here vitiated Pitta leads to:
  • Jwara
  • Atisara
  • Antardaha

38.

  • Here vitiated kapha leads to:
  • Pratishyaya
  • Aruchi
  • Kasa
  • Siraso gurutvam

39.

  • In this case one should do pureesh rakshana because pureesh is the one which supports the body.
  • If a person suffers from constipation then he will not suffer so much but if he is having atisara then it will suffer him more.

40. Samprapti of Rajayakshma

  • : : :
  • ( . . .41/9-10 )

41. Samprapti: Acc. To susruta

  • Due to obstruction in rasavaha srotasas due to kapha or
  • indulging more in maithuna leads to depletion of rasadi dhatus due to shukra kshaya and leads to Rajayakshma.

42.

  • : :
  • ( . . .5/5-6 )

43. Sampraptiacc. To Vagbhata

  • Aggravated vata produces increase of both pitta and kapha
  • and spreads to all joints of the body and through siras goes upwards, downwards and sidewards and obstructs or dilates the srotasas and manifests Rajayakshma.

74. Acc. To modern science.. 75.

  • TUBERCULOSIS

Pulmonary 76. Some terms related to the topic

  • Hilar - related to hilum or hilus.
  • Lesions - discontinuation of tissues.
  • primary focus- thestarting point of disease process.
  • Tabes Mesenterica- a progressive wasting of the Intestine.

77.

  • Caseous - cheesy appearance
  • Erosion -destruction of tissue
  • milliary TB- acute or generalised TB.
  • Orthopnoea- discomfort in breathing in any position except sitting or standing position.

78.

  • Amyloidosis- it is disease in which amyloid is deposited extracellularly
  • Amyloid a glycoprotein resembling like starch
  • AFB- acid fast bacilli
  • Culture- to induce the propagation of micro organisms in special media which are promoting their growth.
  • Smear- a specimen for microscopic examination on slide.

79. Droplet infection

  • Droplet very small drop.
  • Spreading of infection by fine infected particles as by sneezing from the nose or by spitting from mouth.

80. Causative organism

  • Tubercle bacillus or Kochs bacillus orMycobacterium Tuberculosis.
  • Organismis a strict aerobe and lives in the part where theoxygen supplyis more,
  • Likeapex of the lungs .
  • Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Bovisis mainly a causative factor by theunpasturatedmilk from the animals.

81. Mycobacterium Tuberculosis hominis

  • slender rod like bacillus.
  • Neutral on gram staining.
  • It can be demonstrated by:
  • 1) Acid fast or ziehl neelson staining.
  • 2) Fluorescent dye methods.
  • 3) Culture of organism in sputum.

82.

  • Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused byMycobacterium tuberculosis . The disease primarily affects lungs and causesPulmonary Tuberculosis . It can also affect intestine, meninges, bones and joints, lymph glands, skin and other tissues of the body.
  • The disease also affects animals like cattle and known asBovine Tuberculosis .

83. Atypical or non tuberculous mycobacteria

  • Atypical term is used for the other species of Mycobacteria rather than Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex also called asenvironmental Mycobacteria.

84. Mode of transmission

  • Human beings acquire infectionwith tubercle bacilli by following routes:
  • 1)Inhalation :from cough droplets or dried sputum from an open case ofPulmonary TB.
  • 2) Ingestion :Leads to tonsillar or intestinal tuberculosis.
  • 3)Incubation :From infected post-mortem tissue or through skin.
  • 4)Trans placental route : Congenital Tuberculosis in foetus from infected mother.

85. Incubation period

  • Development of disease depends upon the closeness of contact, extent of disease andsputum positivityof source or dose of infection and host parasitic relationship.
  • Thus the incubation period may be weeks, months or years.
  • Normal incubation period - 3 to 6 weeks .

86. Spread of TB

  • 1)Local spread :This takes place by macrophages carrying the bacilli into the surrounding tissues.
  • 2)Lymphatic spread :TB is primarily an infection of lymphoid tissues. The bacilli may pass into lymphoid follicles of pharynx, bronchi, intestines, regional lymph nodes.
  • 3)Haematogenous spread : Because of the drainage of lymphatics into vessel system.

87.

  • 4)By the natural passages :
  • (A) Lung lesions into pleura
  • (B) Transbronchial spread into adjacent lung segments
  • (C) Into peritoneal cavity (tuberculousperitonitis)
  • (D) Infected sputum into larynx ( Tuberculous laryngitis )
  • (E) Swallowing of infected sputum ( illeocaecal tuberculosis )
  • (F) Renal lesions into ureter

88. Evolutionof tubercle

  • Tubercle bacilli invasion
  • lodges in pulmonary capillaries
  • due to tubercle bacilli coating ofopsoninwith in 12 hours progressive infiltration by macrophages occurs
  • phagocytosis by macrophages
  • activation of T&B lymphocyte cells
  • B cells produce antibodies but dont have any role in defence against tubercle bacillus
  • T helper cell(CD4+T) inactivation

89.

  • without T helper cell no immune system stimulation
  • formation of granuloma
  • Hard tubercle formation (due to absence of central necrosis)
  • central mass caseation (the process of conversion of necrotic tissue into cheesy material)
  • soft tubercle formation
  • Tuberculosis occurrence.

90. Types of Tuberculosis

  • Lungs are the main effected organ in TB. Depending upon the type of tissue response it is of two types:
  • 1)Primary TB
  • 2)Secondary TB

91. Primary TB

  • The infection of an indivisual who has not been previously infected or immunised is calledPrimary TBorGhons complexorchildhood TB.
  • Most probably involved tissues in Primary Tb are Lungs & hilar (related to hilum or hilus) lymph nodes.
  • Others are: tonsils, cervical lymph nodes.
  • In the case of ingestion of bacilli lesions (discontinuation of tissues) may be found in small intestine and mesenteric lymph nodes.

92. This type of TB consists of 3 components

  • 1 )Pulmonary component :Leisons in the lung is the primary focus.
  • It is more often in the upper part of the upper lobe of the lung.
  • 2)Lymphatic vessel component
  • 3)Lymphatic component :Enlarged hilar and tracheobronchial lymph nodes.

93. Note :

  • In the case of Primary TB of the alimentary tract due to ingestion of tubercle bacilli a smallprimary focus(the starting point of disease process) is seen in intestine with enlarged lymph nodes producingTabesMesentrica(a progressive wasting of the Intestine).
  • The enlarged and Caseous mesenteric lymph nodes may rupture into peritoneal cavity and may causetuberculous peritonitis.

94. Fate of Primary TB

  • 1) The lesions of lung may not progress but instead of healing byfibrosis, calcificationandossificationmay occur.
  • 2) Primary focuscontinues to grow and Caseousmaterial is sent to the other part of the same lung or to another lung. It is called asProgressive primary TB.
  • 3) Bacilli may enter the circulation througherosion ( destruction of tissue) in blood vessels and may spread to various tissues and organs. Thisis calledPrimary milliary TB.
  • 4) Healed lesions of primary TB may be reactivated. It is calledProgressive secondary TB.

95. Secondary Tuberculosis

  • Infection ofan individual who has been previously infected is called secondary or post primary or reinfection or chronic TB.
  • The infection may be acquired from:
  • (A)Endogenous source:such as reactivation of primary complex.
  • (B) Fresh dose of reinfection by tubercle bacilli.

96.

  • Secondary TB occurs mainly in apex of the lungs.
  • Other sites of infection are tonsils, pharynx, larynx, small intestine and skin.

97. Fate of sec. pulmonary TB

  • (A) Lesions may heal with fibrosis and calcification.
  • (B) Lesions may join together to form larger area to involve in disease.
  • (C) Fibrocaseous TB
  • (D) Tuberculous caseous pneumonia
  • (E) Milliary TB

98. HIV associated tuberculosis

  • HIV infected individuals are more prone to get TB and vice versa.
  • Rate of HIV infection in TB patient is very high.
  • Extra pulmonary TBis more common inHIV patients.

99. Clinical features

  • The clinical manifestations in tuberculosis may be variable depending upon the location, extent and type of lesions.
  • Usual clinical features are as under:

100. Referable to lungs

  • Productive cough may be with blood(haemoptysis)
  • Pleural effusion
  • Dyspnoea
  • Orthopnoea(discomfort in breathing in any position except sitting or standing position)
  • Chest X-ray may show Nodularity.

101. Systemic features

  • Fever
  • Night sweating
  • Fatigue
  • Loss of weight and appetite
  • Note:Untreated cases may developsystemic secondary amyloidosis .

102. Diagnosis

  • Tuberculin :The test material or antigen is known as tuberculin. It is of two types:
  • (a) Old tuberculin(OT)
  • (b) Purified protein derivative(PPD)
  • PPD has replaced OT due to its standardization in terms of its biological reactivity astuberculin units(TU).
  • For routine testing - 1 TUdose is used.

103. Milliary TB

  • This disease is the result of acute diffuse tubercle bacilli via bloodstream.
  • It is difficult to diagnose.
  • Because chest X-ray may be entirely normal
  • Mantoux test may also be negative.

104. 1. Mantoux test

  • It is carried out by injecting1 TU of PPD in 0.1 ml on the flexor surface of forearm intradermally.
  • WHO advocatesPPD-RT-23 with tween 80preparation for testing.
  • Result is read out after 72 hours of injection by seeing the diameter of induration.

105.

  • If the diameter is more than 10mm thenPositive case tests .
  • If the diameter is less than 6mm thennegative case test.
  • If the diameter is in b/w 6 to 10 mm then doubtful case test.

106.

  • 2. Positive sputum for AFB (on smear or culture)
  • 3. complete haemogram ( lymphocytosis )
  • 4. Chest X-RAY
  • 5. Fibreoptic bronchoscopy
  • 6. Biopsy

107. Causes of death in Pulmonary TB

  • Pulmonary insufficiency
  • Pulmonary haemorrhages
  • Sepsis (presence of micro organism in blood)
  • Cor pulmonate orsecondary Amyloidosis .

108. Prevention or vaccination

  • It is done by BCG(baccilae calmette Guerin)vaccination.
  • It is of two types:
  • A. liquid or fresh vaccine
  • B. freeze dried vaccine

109. Dosage

  • Usual strength is 0.1mg in 0.1ml volume.
  • In newborn baby below 4 weeks is 0.05 ml.
  • Should be given at birth or at 6 weeks if not given at birth.
  • Given intradermally.

110. Treatment

  • Treatment given in TB is called aschemotherapy , which is having drugs of:
  • highly effective
  • free from side effects
  • easy to administer
  • reasonably cheap

111.

  • Currently used drugs may be classified in to two groups:
  • Bactericidal : These drugs kill the bacilli in vivo.
  • Bacteriostatic:Inhibit the multiplication of the bacilli and lead to their destruction by immune mechanism of the host.

112. The three basic conceptsin TB treatment are as follows:

  • Regimens must contain multiple drugs to which the organism is susceptible.
  • Drugs must be taken regularly.
  • Drug therapy must continue for sufficient time.

113. Antituberculous drugsare classified as.. 114. Firstline antituberculosis drugs

  • Superior in efficacy and posses an acceptable degree of toxicity. these are:
  • Isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, ethmabutol, streptomycin.

115. Isoniazid

  • Mechanism of action: It inhibits the synthesis of mycolic acid (an essential factor for the formation of mycobacterial cell wall synthesis)
  • no growth of tubercle bacillus further.

116. Rifampin

  • Mechanism of action:
  • It inhibits the DNA synthesis
  • no further growth of tubercle bacilli.

117. Pyrazinamide

  • It is well absorbed from GIT
  • penetrates tissues, macrophages, tuberculous cavities.
  • It has excellent effect on intracellular mycobacteria due to acidic environment.
  • Half life: 9 to 10 hours.

118. Ethamabutol

    • It also inhibits the DNA synthesis.
  • Half life: 3 to 4 hours.

119. Streptomycin

  • Bactericidal.

120. Second line antituberculosis drugs .. 121. Second line antituberculosis drugs

  • More toxic and less effective and they are indicated only when organisms are resistant to the first line agents. They are:
  • Cycloserine, ethionamide, aminosalicylic acid, rifabutin, quinolones, capreomycin, viomycin and pyridoxine.

122. Para-aminosalicylic acid (PAS)

  • It is a Bacteriostatic drug.
  • It penetrates tissues and stops the growth of tubercle bacillus.
  • Half life: half an hour.

123. Ethionamide

  • It is also bacteriostatic.
  • Mechanism of action: By inhibiting the cell wall synthesis.

124. Cycloserine

  • It also acts by inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis.

125.

  • Rifabutin
  • Rifapantin
  • Cepreomycin
  • Amikacin & kanamycin
  • Viomycin
  • Clofazimine
  • Macrolides
  • Thiacetazone
  • Quinolones:ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, ofloxacin

126. Treatment for the Latent (inactive) TB infection.. 127. Dots: directly observed therapy short course..

  • (Six month regimen)
  • Rx
  • Rifampicin 600mg O.D.
  • Isoniazid 300mg given in combination 30minutes before breakfast
  • Pyridoxine 10 mg O.D.

128. Longer regimen

  • :

Isoniazid for 9 months daily or twice weekly OR Rifampin & pyrozinamide O.D. for 2 months. Mainly in isoniazid resistant TB. OR Rifampin O.D. for 4 months for one who cannot tolerate pyrazinamide. 129. For active TB

  • Most commonly used drugs are Isoniazid, rifampin and pyrazinamide daily for two months followed by isoniazid and rifampin B.D. or T.D. for 4 months.
  • If isoniazid resistance is suspected than ethmabutol or streptomycin.
  • In HIV patient: 9 to 10 months.
