ObjectivesAbdominal tuberculosis (ATB) is the second most common type of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. Though it does not usually pose a significant risk of infectivity, ATB can go unidentified and progress to disseminated infection. The aim of this study is to highlight the incidence and outcome of this infection in a tertiary care centre in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).MethodsIn this retrospective study, we included all ATB patients admitted to our centre between January 1 st, 2010 and December 31, 2018. A total of 42 patients with a median age of 49 (range 18–83 years, 78.6% males) were identified.ResultsThe most common presentation was abdominal pain, weight loss, and abdominal distension. All the patients were HIV negative; however, 50% had a comorbid condition, mainly diabetes mellitus, chronic renal failure, and liver cirrhosis. Tuberculous peritonitis was the predominant type of ATB. Suspicious and potentially malignant abdominal masses appeared on the abdominal CT scans of six patients. This suggest that TB should be excluded in patients from endemic area presenting with abdominal masses.All patients received standard anti-tuberculous medication for an average duration of 7.4 months. The outcome was excellent with 88%% achieving complete response. Adjunctive corticosteroids were not used, and none of the patients had a surgical complication.ConclusionThe diagnosis of ATB is challenging. It can mimic inflammatory bowel disease in young populations and malignancy in middle-aged and elderly population. For this reason, a high index of suspicion with prompt treatment is required to improve the prognosis and prevent complications. 相似文献

We examined the ability of indices of insulin sensitivity and pancreatic beta-cell responsiveness to explain interindividual variability of clinical measures of glucose control in newly presenting type 2 diabetes. Subjects with newly presenting type 2 diabetes (n = 65; 53 males and 12 females; age, 54 +/- 1 yr; body mass index, 30.5 +/- 0.7 kg/m(2); mean +/- SE) underwent an insulin-modified iv glucose tolerance test to determine minimal model-derived insulin sensitivity (S(I)), glucose effectiveness, first-phase insulin secretion, and disposition index. Subjects also underwent a standard meal tolerance test (MTT) to measure fasting/basal (M(0)) and postprandial (M(I)) pancreatic beta-cell responsiveness. Stepwise linear regression used these indices to explain interindividual variability of fasting and postprandial plasma glucose and insulin concentrations and glycated hemoglobin (HbA(1C)). All measures of pancreatic beta-cell responsiveness (M(0), M(I), and first-phase insulin secretion) were negatively correlated with fasting plasma glucose (P < 0.01) and positively correlated with fasting plasma insulin (FPI) and insulin responses to MTT (P < 0.05). S(I) demonstrated negative correlation with FPI (P < 0.001) but failed to correlate with any glucose variable. M(I) followed by disposition index (composite index of insulin sensitivity and pancreatic beta-cell responsiveness) were most informative in explaining interindividual variability. It was possible to explain 70-80% interindividual variability of fasting plasma glucose, FPI, HbA(1C), and insulin responses to MTT, and only 25-40% interindividual variability of postprandial glucose. In conclusion, postprandial insulin deficiency is the most powerful explanatory factor of deteriorating glucose control in newly presenting type 2 diabetes. Indices of insulin sensitivity and pancreatic beta-cell responsiveness explain fasting glucose and HbA(1C) well but fail to explain postprandial glucose. 相似文献

Background
the objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of annual review of the infection control practice in all Ministry of Health hospitals in the holy city of Makkah, Saudi Arabia, during the Hajj period of four lunar Islamic years, 1423 to 1426 corresponding to 2003 to 2006. 相似文献8.

A 2009 deployment of military units from several Saudi Arabian provinces to Jazan Province, Saudi Arabia, enabled us to evaluate exposure to Alkhurma, Crimean-Congo, dengue, and Rift Valley hemorrhagic fever viruses. Seroprevalence to all viruses was low; however, Alkhurma virus seroprevalence was higher (1.3%) and less geographically restricted than previously thought. 相似文献

We assessed hospital infection control knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of healthcare workers (HCWs) during the Hajj season of the Islamic y 1423 (2003). A self-administered structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. A total of 392 HCWs was studied, of whom 215 (54.8%) were nurses and 177 (45.2%) were doctors. 315 (80.4%) HCWs worked in hospitals, whereas 77 (19.6%) worked in primary healthcare centres. Of the 392 HCWs, 164 (41.8%) were from Makkah, and the remaining 228 (58.2%) were recruited from other regions in Saudi Arabia. A good proportion (81.8%) of HCWs correctly answered at least 5 of the 11 knowledge statements. However, obvious deficiency of knowledge appeared concerning other important hospital infection control measures. A smaller proportion (61.9%) of HCWs achieved a score of at least 4 out of 7 for attitude statements with unacceptable attitude for the remaining 3 areas. Response to questions concerning practice showed that nurses tended to be better than doctors (p-value=0.204), but both groups reported variable compliance to hospital infection control practices in terms of strict or near-strict adherence. In conclusion, training of HCWs is needed to improve KAP in infection control. 相似文献
