Abstract

Background and objective: Anthracosis refers to the presence of carbon particles in the lungs, not to a disorder per se. Anthracosis is seen particularly in those who smoke or live in a city or industrial environment. Bronchial ANTHRACOFIBROSIS has recently been defined as a luminal narrowing associated with anthracotic pigmentation on bronchoscopy. Recent studies have determined that it is a potent risk factor for TUBERCULOSIS. This study was conducted in order to determine the PREVALENCE of pulmonary TUBERCULOSIS among patients with ANTHRACOFIBROSIS in ZAHEDAN.Materials and methods: In this cross -sectional, descriptive study, we evaluated all patients who were referred to Boo-ali hospital, ZAHEDAN (Sistan and Baluchistan Province) in a time period of 3 years from 2002 to 2005 because of chronic pulmonary disease. After the primary sputum smear for Acid-fast bacilli was negative, all of these patients went under broncoscopic examination. When anthracotic pigmentation in the overlying mucosa on bronchoscopy was seen, we examined more sputum smear for Acid-fast bacilli. TUBERCULOSIS was defined based on positive sputum smear or sputum culture, positive smear and culture of bronchial washing fluid, pathology and PCR.Results: out of 211 patients who went under bronchoscopy, 49 cases (23.2%) had ANTHRACOFIBROSIS (25 male, 24 Female). Among patients with ANTHRACOFIBROSIS 75/5% had pulmonary TUBERCULOSIS (18 Male, 20 Female) .Ninety-six percent of anthracofibrotic patients wee smoker. Seventy -six percent of women with ANTHRACOFIBROSIS were bread cookers.Conclusion: As a conclusion, pulmonary TUBERCULOSIS may be closely related to the development of bronchial ANTHRACOFIBROSIS. Therefore, in the endemic areas, when a patient has a history of chronic cough or chronic pulmonary disease and ANTHRACOFIBROSIS has been shown by bronchoscopy, the physicians must have pulmonary TUBERCULOSIS in mind too.
