BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The burden of tuberculosis (TB) in India is the highest accounting for 26% of the global incidence. A total of 1.4 million people died from TB in 2019 (including 208 000 people with HIV). India accounts for a fourth of the global burden of TB and 29% of global mortality. Therefore, we carried out this study to compare demographic, lifestyle and clinical characteristic between pulmonary TB (PTB) and extrapulmonary TB (EPTB). MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY:Aretrospective analysis was carried of 348 patients diagnosed in DOTS centre, Pravara Rural Hospital, Loni. Characteristics of demographic and clinical characteristics were obtained from medical case records. RESULTS:Among the 348 cases, 71.3% were PTB and 28.7% were EPTB including, pleural (36%), meningeal (27%) and lymphatic (20%) cases. The male to female ratio in PTB and EPTB are 1.99 and 1.22 respectively. EPTB was more common at younger age (<25 years). Tobacco addiction (10.9%), diabetes mellitus (4.03%), HIV positivity (12.1%) and history of contact with Tb patients (17.7%) were more likely to be associated with PTB. CONCLUSION:Increased awareness of the risk factors may facilitate early case nding and better management outcomes for these patients.

Abstract Purpose The present study aimed to investigate the preliminary safety and efficacy of rheolytic thrombectomy (RT) using AngioJet ZelanteDVT catheter or Solent Omni catheter for acute proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT).Material and Methods We conducted a retrospective review of 40 patients who treated by AngioJet RT divided into ZelanteDVT group (n=17) and Solent group (n=23) from January 2019 to January 2021. Data of demographics, clinical characteristic, technical success, clinical success, complications, and early follow-up were analysed.Results No significant differences regarding demographics were detected (all p >.05). The technical success rates were both 100%. ZelanteDVT group had a shorter duration time of RT and a higher primary RT success than those of Solent group (all p <.05), and percentage of adjunctive CDT was 29.4% in ZelanteDVT group, significantly lower than that was 79.3% in Solent group (p =.010). The successful outcome for ZelanteDVT group and Solent group were 100% (17/17) and 95.7% (22/23), both high in the two groups (p >.05). Except for transient macroscopic hemoglobinuria occurred in all patients at the first 24 hours post-RT, none suffered other procedure-related adverse events or major complications in both groups. Minor complications presented as bleeding events occurred in 21.7% (5/23) patients of Solent group, and one (5.9%) patient in Zelante DVT group (p >.05). At 6-month, the frequency of PTS was 5.9% (1/17) in ZelanteDVT group compared with 17.4% (4/ 23) in Solent group (p >.05).Conclusion Both catheters are safe and effective for the management of patients with proximal DVT, leading to improved clinical outcomes with low complication. Zelante-DVT catheter offered more powerful thrombectomy over Solent catheter, allowing for faster extraction of the DVT with shorter run time and lower adjunctive CDT.
