| The talk had run on treasure. I could not sleep and my friends had dropped in. I had the big South room on the second floor of the Hotel de Paris. It looks down on the Casino and the Mediterranean. Perhaps you know it. Queer friend... Read more of The Last Adventure at Mystery Stories.ca | Informational Privacy |

Tuberculosis Of The Tracheobronchial TreeCategory: BRONCHOSCOPY IN DISEASES OF THE TRACHEA AND BRONCHI Source: A Manual Of Peroral Endoscopy And Laryngeal Surgery The bronchoscopic study of tuberculosis is very interesting, but only a few cases justify bronchoscopy. The subglottic infiltrations from extensions of laryngeal disease are usually of edematous appearance, though they are much more firm than in ordinary inflammatory edema. Ulcerations in this region are rare, except as direct extensions of ulceration above the cord. The trachea is relatively rarely involved in tuberculosis, but we may have in the trachea the pale swelling of the early stage of a perichondritis, or the later ulceration and all the phenomena following the mixed pyogenic infections. These same conditions may exist in the bronchi. In a number of instances, the entire lumen of the bronchus was occluded by cheesy pus and debris of a peribronchial gland which had eroded through. As a rule, the mucosa of tuberculosis is pale, and the pallor is accentuated by the rather bluish streak of vessels, where these are visible. Erosion through of peri-bronchial or peri-tracheal lymph masses may be associated with granulation tissue, usually of pale color, but occasionally reddish; and sometimes oozing of blood is noticed. A most common picture in tuberculosis is a broadening of the carina, which may be so marked as to obliterate the carina and to bulge inward, producing deformed lumina in both bronchi. Sometimes the lumina are crescentic, the concavity of the crescent being internal, that is, toward the median line. Absence of the normal anterior and downward movement of the carina on deep inspiration is almost pathognomonic of a mass at the bifurcation, and such a mass is usually tuberculous, though it may be malignant, and, very rarely, luetic. The only lesion visible in a tuberculous case may be cicatrices from healed processes. In a number of cases there has been a discharge of pus coming from the upper-lobe bronchus.
