Abstract

Objective To investigate the application value of CT scanning and bronchoscopy in the diagnosis of bronchial tuberculosis. Methods A retrospective analysis of CT scanning and bronchoscopy image characteristics of 95 endobronchial tuberculosis patients in our hospital who underwent CT scanning and bronchoscopy from October 2012 to October 2015. Results According to the CT scan and bronchoscopy showed that 62 cases were diagnosed (65.26%) bronchial stenosis, 23 cases (24.21%) bronchial lumen obstruction and 10 cases (10.52%) of pulmonary atelectasis; 81 patients with unilateral bronchial lesions, including 27 cases on the left side, right side in 54 cases, 10 patients with bronchial lesions in double side, on the other 4 cases occurred in the lower part of trachea. The diagnostic rate of bronchoscopy and CT in diagnosis of endobronchial tuberculosis was 100% (95/95). The bronchoscopic examination showed bronchial tube wall thickening (53.6%) and mucosal hyperemia (47.3%). Conclusion The diagnostic rate of CT and bronchoscopy for bronchial tuberculosis is higher. Combined detection can provide more information for clinical application, and is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
