This episode is all about tuberculosis, its diagnosis and management.We look at how to break it down as pulmonary vs extra pulmonary TB, latent vs active TB, and the broad differentials of pneumonia, sarcoid, and malignancy.
We go through the workup necessary including a chest xray, CT, sputum samples and other basic investigations.
Public health involvement is key for contact tracing and then we look at the medical treatment: RIPE medications and their side effects.Peter demonstrates how to counsel a new diagnosis of TB which you may be asked to do in medical school examinations.
