Study on misdiagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in general hospital (Analysis of 100 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis misdiagnosed)
Objective: To improve the diagnosis standards of physician for pulmonary tuberculosis in general hospital. Methods: The clinical data of 100 pulmonary tuberculosis patients misdiagnosed in and out of our hospital was analyzed. Results: The misdiagnosis rate of pulmonary tuberculosis in general hospital is 17.8%.Conclusions: There are 5 factors affecting the misdiagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis:①unawareness of pulmonary tuberculosis;②lack of understanding the clinical manifestations of atypical pulmonary tuberculosis;③atypical radiological appearance in part of the patients; ④relying on X-ray report only; and ⑤neglecting the inspecting of mycobacterium in sputum smear.It can reduce the misdiagnosis rate of pulmonary tuberculosis by the following
such as: ①pay more attention to this disease; ②improving the understanding of clinical manifestations in atypical pulmonary tuberculosis; ③realizing more atypical appearance of X-ray; ④comparing the changes of X-ray; ⑤inspecting the mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum smears as possible; ⑥using fiberoptic bronchoscope availbly;⑦combining the diagnostic pathology with clinical therapy.
