A Case of Multilevel Airway Obstruction Secondary to Paradoxical Reaction to Anti TB Drugs in a Non HIV Patient with Tracheobronchial and Cervical Tuberculous Lymphadenitis

A case report of a young male diagnosed as cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis presenting with rapidly enlarging neck nodes causing airway obstructing secondary to paradoxical reaction to antituberculous drugs. This phenomenon is rare in HIV negative patient. He also had myriad of symptoms and multilevel obstructions. In this case report we discuss the presentation of patient to our center with the management and possible pitfalls.

Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a rare, aggressive type of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma with the vast majority of patients responding poorly to treatment or progressing shortly thereafter. Cyclophosphamide-doxorubicin-vincristine-prednisolone (CHOP) or CHOP-like regimens have disappointing results in this setting. We report a case of PBL arising in a previously diagnosed myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative (MDS/MPN) with ring sideroblasts and thrombocytopenia (RS-T), HIV-negative patient treated with the combination of CHOP and bortezomib. The patient achieved complete metabolic response, which has lasted one year, longer by far than would have been expected with the sole use of CHOP.

Kaposi’s Sarcoma (KS) occurs as a pathological entity that may be classified into four different types: classic, endemic, epidemic, and iatrogenic. It can arise among HIV-positive subjects or within immunosuppression, yet exceptionally of tuberculous origin. We describe a new case report of an HIV-negative patient, manifesting Kaposi’s disease in the course of tuberculosis, with the aim to assess this uncommon disorder and to outline this rare atypical association.
