Diagnostic value of fiberoptic bronchoscopy and ultrasonic atomization with gradient hypertonic saline to induce sputum for atypical pulmonary tuberculosis
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of fiberoptic bronchoscopy and ultrasonic atomization with gradient hypertonic saline for induction sputum in bacteriological negative pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods 96 cases of atypical pulmonary tuberculosis received fiberoptic bronchoscope examination for 129 times; and 129 cases had not been diagnosed which received ultrasonic atomization to induce sputum for 149 times. Results 65 cases had been di-anosed by fiberoptic bronchoscopy,and account for 67. 70%;33 cases had been diagnosed by ultrasonic atomization to induce sputum, and account for 45. 11%; while the concordance was 75. 97% when two methods were used together. Conclusion The combination of the above two methods is worthy to be popularized and applied, which can increase the diagnosis rate of pulmonary tuberculosis obviously.
