Abstract

In the Bronchoscopic study of lung carcinoma 39 adult patients aged between 28 to 65 years old, of both sexes were studied. The history was 13 (33.3%) were smokers,12(30.7%) were former smokers, (9.23%) were exposed to dust, 5(12.8%) were non-smokers. The types of lesion were 16 (14%) had partial endotracheal obstruction, 11(28.2%) had complete endotracheal, 8(20.5%) had mucosal irregularities, 4(10.2%) had external compression. The histopathological observation were 17(43.5%) had squamous cell carcinoma, 7(17.9%) had small cell carcinoma, 13(33.3%)had adeno carcinoma,2(5%) had mixed cell carcinoma. This various Bronchoscopic presentations of Bronchogenic carcinoma will be quite useful to chest and pulmonary physician, pathologist and onco-surgeon to treat such patients efficiently and prevents the morbidity and mortality of the patients because early detection of carcinoma can be treated and increase the survival of such patients.

The rate of resistance in single and poly drug therapy was. Rifampicin, pyrozinamide, ethambutol streptomycin had 0% rate resistance. Ioniazide + streptomycin, Isoniazide + streptomycin + rifampiain, Ethambutol + streptomycin had 0.5% resistance rate. Isonizide + Ethmubutol had 2.2% rate of resistance. Isonizide had 1.8% resistance. This study of pulmonary tuberculosis with MDRTB patients with different history and different rates of immunity will be quite useful to pulmonary medicine physician to treat such patients efficiently because pulmonary tuberculosis is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in India and abroad.
