“…Extra-pulmonary tuberculosis constitutes 15% of all tuberculous locations and includes TBM, which occurs in 4% of all cases [14]. The disease occurs by spreading secondarily to the CNS years after the initial pulmonary infection, with reactivation of the bacillus by the hematogenous route.…”

Dual time point FDG PET imaging (DTPI) has been considered helpful for discrimination of benign and malignant disease, and staging lymph node status in patients with pulmonary malignancy. However, DTPI for benign disease has been rarely reported, and it may show a better description of metabolic status and extent of benign infectious disease than early imaging only. The authors report on the use F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) imaging with additional delayed imaging on a 52-year-old man with sparganosis and a 70-year-old man with tuberculous meningitis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on dual time point PET/CT imaging in patients with cerebral sparganosis and tuberculous meningitis.

“…Pleural TB usually develops via lymphatic spread of PTB but has a good prognosis and often results in "self-cure" (9,13). One explanation could be that, following a primary infection, less virulent strains lead to pleural TB, while the most virulent strains are more likely responsible for the development of PTB or are more easily disseminated, leading to EPTB.…”

“…This situation can also be attributed to the lack of reliable data. In industrialized countries, prior to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic, about 15% of TB cases were declared extrapulmonary (6,13). Since the emergence of HIV, EPTB has been detected more frequently (more than 30%) among HIV-infected individuals in Europe and in the United States (13,20).…”

All organs can be affected, but the frequencies of the different clinical sites of EPTB vary according to country (1,6,10,12,19).…”

Antananarivo, the capital city of Madagascar, has an endemic focus of tuberculosis (TB). We specifically studied patients with extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) and grouped patients according to infected body site. The strains were characterized by IS6110 fingerprinting and compared with those isolated from patients with pulmonary TB (PTB) during the same period in order to determine the possible association between the genotype and the clinical expression of TB. A total of 316 TB patients were included in this study: 151 individuals with EPTB, 10 with both PTB and EPTB, and 155 with PTB alone. Pleural TB was the major EPTB localization (77%) and was found more often in older patients, while PTB or EPTB in which the localization was other than pleural (other EPTB) was found in younger patients. The male-to-female ratio was slightly higher in pleural TB patients (3.06:1) than in patients with other EPTB (1.35:1). There was no significant difference in the BCG status among patients with PTB, pleural TB, and other EPTB. Analysis of IS6110 patterns showed that 167 patients (52.8%) were assigned to 37 clusters of 2 to 34 patients. Analysis of the IS6110 clusters and the IS6110 families did not show any association with a particular clinical expression of the disease. Patients with PTB or other EPTB were more likely to have strains with one IS6110 copy than patients with pleural TB. The clustering rate was found to be significantly higher in female patients (62%) than in male patients (48%) (P ‫؍‬ 0.029), suggesting that Malagasy women were more likely to progress to disease after infection than men.

“…Some studies have reported that the EPTB is on the rise due to the HIV epidemic 2. In fact, in industrialised countries, prior to the HIV epidemic, about 15% of TB cases were declared EPTB 9. Since the emergence of HIV, EPTB has been detected more frequently (more than 30%) among HIV-infected individuals in Europe and in the United States 10 11.…”
