Interventional bronchoscopy in pediatric pulmonary tuberculosis
Expert Rev Respir Med. 2023 Dec 22. doi: 10.1080/17476348.2023.2299336. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Lymphobronchial tuberculosis (TB) is common in children with primary TB and enlarged lymph nodes can cause airway compression of the large airways. If not treated correctly, airway compression can result in persistent and permanent parenchymal pathology, as well as irreversible lung destruction. Bronchoscopy was originally used to collect diagnostic samples; however, its role has evolved, and it is now used as an interventional tool in the diagnosis and management of complicated airway disease. Endoscopic tre...
