Abstract

Background and Objective: PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS is common and LOWER LUNG FIELD tuberculosis is an atypical presentation of PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS, which often causes confusion in diagnosis. Its incidence has been increased worldwide with more cases of AIDS. This study was designed to identify the prevalence of PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS, in different clinical conditions, its common clinical and radiological presentations, Asid Fast Bacilli (AFB) status, and the outcome of treatment.Materials and Methods: This is a cross- sectional study. All PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS patients referred to Nikoopoor clinic (YAZD) were included in the study (217 patients) for routine evaluation, especially, sputum for AFB, blood sugar, HIV testing, and CXR investigations.Results: From 217 patients, 19.81% had LOWER LUNG FIELD tuberculosis. Female patients 21.8% were affected more than male 17.75%, 41.86% aged >60 years. Unilateral involvement was more common (52%) and the right side was more frequently affected (60%). Consolidation (47%) and cavitations (26%) were the main radiological findings.Conclusion: LOWER LUNG FIELD tuberculosis is fairly common in Yazd (central region of Iran). Its clinical presentation is similar to classical upper lung field tuberculosis and short course chemotherapy has equal effect as similar as standard therapy.
