Abstract
- Endobrochial tuberculosis which may result in stenosis of the bronchus, is a rare complication of pulmonary tuberculosis in children. We recently treated three children with endobronchial tuberculosis which presented different clinical manifestations and different response to the treatments. Endoscopic examinations revealed bronchial masses, in which biopsy and polymerase chain reaction(PCR) were consistent with endobronchial tuberculosis. We reviewed the presentation and treatment of endobronchial tuberculosis in 3 children.
