Active Pulmonary TB and Gastrointestinal tuberculosis
• previous history of TB– No sputum AFB smear was done to see if the
patient has really been cured – Possibility of relapse
• current symptoms and x-ray results – Fever, weight loss, etc.
• symptoms of obstruction: abdominal pain, anorexia, nausea and vomiting

Active Pulmonary TB and Gastrointestinal tuberculosis
• Mycobacterium tuberculosis • Transmission: infected air droplets• Primary infection: usually asymptomatic and
latent. – bacteria reach the pulmonary alveoli and invade
the macrophages – Formation of Ghon focus or complex – this granulomatous reaction serves to prevent the
spread of the infection
![Page 17: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Lymphoma of the distal ileumRule In Rule Out
bloating, abdominal pain, weight loss, vomiting, and occasional intestinal obstruction. It can also show symptoms of malabsorption
Although partial small-bowel obstruction is the most common mode of presentation, 10% of patients with small-intestinal lymphoma present with bowel perforation.
Contrast radiographs show stasis of the contrast
can also present with blood loss in vomitus or while defecating
Primary intestinal lymphoma accounts for ~20% of malignancies of the small bowel
history of malabsorptive conditions (e.g., celiac sprue), regional enteritis, and depressed immune function due to congenital immunodeficiency syndromes, prior organ transplantation, autoimmune disorders, or AIDS
Periumbilical pain made worse by eating
patient’s radiographs do not show infiltration and thickening of the mucosal folds, mucosal nodules, or areas of irregular ulceration
![Page 22: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Colon CancerRule In Rule Out
rate and severity of weight loss, as well as the evidence of muscle wasting are suggestive of malignancy
rate at which the patient’s condition worsened may be too rapid to indicate a cancerous process
Abdominal pain and intestinal obstruction are common clinical presentations
Colorectal cancer usually develops in older patients aged around 65
patient does not present with rectal bleeding, changes in bowel habits, a palpable abdominal mass, hepatomegaly or ascites
![Page 23: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Lipoma of the Distal IleumRule In Rule Out
common benign mesenchymal tumor, which frequently occurs in the distal ileum and at the ileocecal valve
condition is usually asymptomatic, but may cause fecal bleeding, which is absent in the patient
usually presents with generalized or colicky abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea and anorexia, which are all exhibited by the patient.
intussusception is usually produced rather than a plain obstruction
![Page 24: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Crohn’s DiseaseRule In Rule Out
focal inflammation and fistula tract formation that eventually resolves by fibrosis and bowel stricturing obstruction
no reports of mucus, blood or pus in the patient’s stool; no fever or diarrhea
presentation of Crohn’s Disease may mimic colonic tuberculosis and vice versa
characteristic "cobblestone" appearance of CD was not exhibited on barium radiography
patient is not dehydrated, but she shows signs of severe malnutrition: Malabsorption in Crohn’s
more common in Europe, the United Kingdom, and North America.
chronic history of recurrent episodes of abdominal pain
patient does not fall within the usual age groups affected by the disease, which are those aged 15-30 and those aged 60-80, since the age of onset has a bimodal distribution
Patient shows signs of obstruction
![Page 25: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Diagnostics: Imaging
• Endoscopy– visualizing the intestinal tract– discovering the exact nature of the abnormality– obtain tissue sample for biopsy purposes– also has therapeutic benefits.
![Page 26: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Diagnostics: Imaging• Biopsy
– Gold standard for GI-TB. – Tissue sample can be obtained through colonoscopy
or ultrasound or CT-guided percutaneous fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC).
– also opt to do a laparoscopic biopsy. – Histological findings:
• epitheliod cell granulomas with a peripheral rim of lymphocytes and plasma cells
• Langhan’s giant cells and central casseating. • Fibrosis and calcifications – in healing infections
![Page 27: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Diagnostics: Imaging
• Abdominal CT scan– detect and clearly see any abnormalities in the
patient’s abdominal area. – Features:
• irregular soft-tissue densities in the omentum• low-attenuating masses surrounded by thick solid rims • low-attenuating necrotic nodes• disorganized appearance of soft-tissue densities• multiloculated appearance after the intravenous
administration of iodinated contrast material
![Page 28: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Diagnostics: Lab Tests
• AFB Smear and Sputum Culture– Classic and standard– Grade A Recommendations (PSMID, 2006)– Identify the exact pathogen– Useful in suspected cases of MDR TB.
![Page 29: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Diagnostics: Lab Tests
• Tissue culture and drug sensitivity test– important in cases of relapse or of suspected
MDR-TB– TC: identification of the exact identity of the
infectious pathogen – DST: enables the determination of the kind of
drug the pathogen is sensitive to.
![Page 30: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Diagnostics: Lab Tests
• Complete blood count– check for increased WBC titers which are
indicative of an ongoing infection. – to detect any other blood abnormalities such as
anemia, thrombocytosis or leucopenia.
![Page 31: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Diagnostics: Lab Tests
• Electrolytes and Serum albumin– to determine if she needs to be infused with
exogenous sources due to depleted levels. – The nature of the patient’s diet calls for an
assessment of her nutritional status.

Medical
• Pre – treatment before surgery• Refer to TB DOTS plus if MDR-TB
![Page 50: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Surgical
• Laparotomy– Surgical resection of the affected segments
(possibly the ileocecal segment)
![Page 51: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Monitoring andFollow-up
![Page 52: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Monitoring and follow-up
• The patient’s nutritional status should be constantly monitored
• The patient should be monitored whether reintroduction of oral feeding could already be tolerated
• Function of the resected segment of the intestine should be assessed
• Patient’s intake of TB medications should be monitored
![Page 53: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Prevention
![Page 54: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Prevention
• As an extension of the DOTS strategy, contract tracing should be done– Detect other cases and prevent further spread of
TB infection– Targeted contact tracing among family members
and close contacts of the patient
![Page 55: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Prognosis
![Page 56: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Prognosis
• If patient is not treated with surgery and TB medications– Prognosis is poor – Possible drug resistant TB of the lungs which spread to the
gastrointestinal tract to cause obstructive symptoms• If patient is treated with surgery and TB medications
– Prognosis may improve if surgery is done to relieve the obstruction and the patient can tolerate food again allowing improvement in the nutritional status
– Drug resistant TB could still be resolved with the DOTS program for drug resistant strains.

Public Health
![Page 58: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
TB-DOTS program
• Government commitment• Case detection by DSSM among symptomatic
patients self-reporting to health services• Standard short-course chemotherapy;
complete drug taking through DOT supervised by DOTS facility workers during the whole course of treatment for all smear positive cases;
![Page 59: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
TB-DOTS program
• A regular, uninterrupted supply of all essential anti-tuberculosis drugs and other materials; and
• A standard recording and reporting system that allows assessment of case finding and treatment
![Page 60: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Access to drugs
• In far flung areas, barangay health workers (BHWs) should be mobilized
• Make the BHWs as their treatment partners and they can go to the patients’ home
![Page 61: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Strengthen Patient and Healthcare Workers Relationship
• patients perceive health care workers’ attitudes as harsh
• develop good rapport as they deal with patients, learn to befriend them and take the time to explain to them the importance of taking their medications regularly
![Page 62: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
• Inform patients that improvement of their symptoms does not necessarily mean that they are totally free from infection
• explain that they must take the whole set of drugs and get a negative reading in the sputum smear exam before they are considered completely free of the disease
![Page 63: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Partnership with Private Practitioners
• use of anti-TB drugs has also contributed to the development of MDR and XDR-TB
• all practitioners must refer all suspected and diagnosed TB patients to the DOTS program as recommended in the guidelines
![Page 64: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Partnership with Private Practitioners
• create a referral system, which would assure that the physician who referred the patient to the nearest DOTS center would still remain the patient’s primary attending physician
• Private practitioners must also be trained
![Page 65: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Restricting the availability of drugs
• problem of low quality drugs and the over availability of drugs has also resulted in the development of MDR-TB
• Leads to self medication• Restrict over the counter selling
![Page 66: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Improve quality of DOTS
• Personnel working in the DOTS centers need to be trained further
• Lack of workers in the centers causes other employees to burn out and tire easily
• give more incentives or more health benefits• build partnerships with other organizations• Research and volunteers
![Page 67: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Improve compliance
• If family members are also not educated about the disease, then they would not be able to assist in reinforcing positive behavior like treatment compliance and lifestyle modifications.
• Widespread non-compliance to treatment and lack of education about tuberculosis could be major factors leading to low cure rates of the DOTS program.
![Page 68: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Improve compliance
• providing transportation• proper education of the patients and their
families• widespread, comprehensive, proper
education program involving the whole country
![Page 69: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Diagnosis and Proper Treatment
• Misdiagnosis of the condition or • misclassification of the specific type of TB• receiving inappropriate treatment lead to
greater drug resistance.
![Page 70: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
MDR-TB
• resistant to both rifampicin and isoniazid• Failure of completion of treatment leads to an
increased incidence of MDR-TB or could even lead to the development of even more resistant strains of the bacteria, which would lead to higher rates of treatment failure.
![Page 71: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Poor Case Reporting
• lead to inaccurate and incomplete data and statistics = lack of preparedness
• Strategy: increase the health seeking behavior of people
• Proper education
![Page 72: Salient Features 42 y/o female CC: colicky but bearable abdominal pain](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56649f135503460f94c26826/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
