Introduction: Rifampin is a cornerstone for the first phase of the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. This report presents the case of a patient with allergic tubulointerstitial nephritis (ATIN) due to rifampin, situation that has not been reported in Colombia.Case presentation: A male patient with a history of pulmonary tuberculosis treated with rifampin developed acute kidney injury. On admission, no evidence of abnormalities or history to explain the injury was found, but he did present tubular acidosis and associated Fanconi syndrome. The kidney injury was temporarily consistent with rifampicin use, and a kidney biopsy confirmed ATIN. The drug was suspended, resulting in improved kidney function.Discussion: ATIN as a side effect of rifampin is a scarcely reported disease. The risk of developing this condition should be considered when starting and restarting treatments with this medication.Conclusion: ATIN is one of the side effects of tuberculosis treatment. Albeit rare, it should be considered when starting tuberculosis medications.

Lymph Node Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease; it has a variable degree of presentation, most often pulmonary while the extrapulmonary location is dominated by lymph node involvement, especially cervical. On the other hand, herpes zoster results from the reactivation of the virus that causes varicella. Here, we report the case of cervicofacial herpes zoster complicating ganglion-pulmonary tuberculosis in a 19-year-old female patient with a history of varicella during childhood, who presents bilateral lymphadenopathy, the diagnosis of pulmonary and lymph node tuberculosis is confirmed by histology, she has treated with anti-tuberculosis drugs and the evolution was marked by the presence of lymphadenopathy and the appearance of cervicofacial herpes zoster

We report a case of an adult female with pulmonary tuberculosis who had biochemical evidence of liver injury during the presentation manifested as raised transaminases, but without clinically obvious pre-existing liver disease nor a history of hepatotoxic drug use. This is a fairly common scenario seen in tuberculosis endemic areas; however, this is an under reported condition in the literature and guidelines for its management has not been established. Many clinicians including the authors have treated such cases with modified liver friendly regimens in fear of increasing the hepatotoxicity with standard antitubercular drugs. However, the modified regimens may not be optimal in treating the underlying tuberculosis. In this report, we gave full dose standard drugs, and the liver injury resolved as evidenced by normalization of transaminases. Further research is required in this regard, but the presence of transaminitis with no obvious common underlying etiology may not warrant a modification of standard antitubercular regimen.

Rifampicin is one of the most effective antitubercular agents. Among its rare adverse effects, acute interstitial nephritis is noteworthy. Furthermore, exfoliative dermatitis caused by rifampicin is quite uncommon. Simultaneous occurrence of the both complications in the same patient has not been reported so far. Here we describe a case history of a 76-year-old male who developed rifampicin induced acute interstitial nephritis and exfoliative dermatitis at the same time.Birdem Med J 2017; 7(2): 168-171

High Index Of Suspicion

Tuberculous epididymal mass is a condition that presents as a painless scrotal swelling. It resembles a testicular mass and is more often diagnosed after orchidectomy. About 22% of all genitourinary tuberculosis show epididymal involvement and 22% of epididymal tuberculosis are bilateral. This report reiterates the need for an increased awareness amongst the treating urologists that would enable an earlier diagnosis, appropriate treatment and may avert the need for orchidectomy in most cases. A 35-year-old diabetic male presented with rapidly enlarging right testicle associated with recent onset of pain over the testis. He also had fever and chills. At the age of 18, he was treated for pulmonary tuberculosis. The right testicle was enlarged, irregular and mildly tender. The right epididymis was also irregular and nodular, blended with the right testicle and indistinguishable from it. A clinical diagnosis of testicular tumour was made. Tumour markers were normal and he underwent high orchidectomy. Histopathological diagnosis confirmed right epididymal tuberculosis. This case report mainly highlights the need for a high index of suspicion amongst the treating physicians. A previous history of treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis should alert the physician to think in lines of tuberculous pathology in epididymis too. A prompt diagnosis and early, appropriate treatment would largely prevent removal of testicles in most cases.

Laryngeal Tuberculosis

Since the advent of effective antituberculous chemotherapy, laryngeal tuberculosis has become relatively uncommon, and there is a real possibility that the diagnosis may be delayed or overlooked. Data from the ENT outpatient clinic Dr. Soetomo Hospital showed a significant decrease in the prevalence of laryngeal tuberculosis, from 4. 72 o/oo in 1980 to 0.28 o/oo in 1986. This condition is usually found in adult males who have pulmonary tuberculosis. A girl with laryngeal tuberculosis is the objective of the present report. The patient was admitted with a history of chronic hoarseness. With a presumptive diagnosis of papilloma of the larynx, some biopsies were performed. The histopathologic exmamintaions suggested laryngeal tuberculosis. Additional examinations revealed a positive tubercullin test, diffuse infiltrates on both lungs and positive acid fast bacilli. Her condition improved after chemotherapy administration.

<p>Cutaneous lymphangiectasia of the genitalia represent dilatation of upper dermal lymphatic’s following damage to previously normal deep lymphatics, is an uncommon condition and only few cases have been reported following pulmonary tuberculosis. Here we are describing a case of 75 years old female patient, who came with multiple translucent papulovesicular lesions over the vulva, labia majora, minora and upper thigh from twelve year duration, with watery discharge since eight years. She had a history of pulmonary tuberculosis twenty years ago. The patient underwent punch biopsy of the lesion over the vulva and histopathological examination confirmed our diagnosis as lymphangiectasia of the vulva. She was managed conservatively with anti-tubercular drugs and got relief in watery discharge and skin lesions.</p>
