Abstract

Background: Aspergilloma usually develops in the pulmonary cavity that already exists, including tuberculosis. The most frequent symptom is hemoptysis. Diagnosis of proven fungal infection requires a tissue sample obtained from a disease location to be subjected to histological examination or culture. A specimen taken using bronchoscopy alone is quite challenging because of its location. In this case, a C-arm fluoroscopy-guided bronchoscopic biopsy may be a solution to get specimens for a proven diagnosis.Case: A 53-year-old male presented to the emergency department following a massive hemoptysis with a previous history of tuberculosis. Chest radiography revealed opacity and hilar restriction in the left upper lobe. A chest CT scan without contrast revealed suspected aspergilloma. The patient underwent a C-arm fluoroscopy-guided bronchoscopy for a biopsy sample. The biopsy sample referred to Aspergillus niger.Discussion: Aspergillus sp. leads to parenchymal damage and causes several symptoms, mostly hemoptysis. Aspergilloma usually develops in the pulmonary cavity that already exists, including those from tuberculosis. The diagnostic effectiveness of bronchoscopy guided by C-arm fluoroscopy for peripheral lung lesions has consistently improved.Conclusion: Aspergilloma usually develops in the pulmonary cavity that already exists, including tuberculosis. The patient came to the emergency department with massive hemoptysis and met all the criteria for diagnosis of proven fungal infection. The diagnosis was made by analyzing biopsy samples, which was taken by C-arm fluoroscopy-guided bronchoscopy.

Abstract

Tuberculosis has emerged as a major global health challenge. Public knowledge about TB is crucial for its prevention, early detection, and management. Research conducted by the World Health Organization indicates that a good level of knowledge about Tuberculosis among the public can significantly enhance symptom recognition, timely medical care, and reduce the stigma. This study aims to describe the TB knowledge of SMK Telkom Malang students. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design was conducted involving 415 students, of whom 336 completed both assessments. TB knowledge was measured using a 10-item validated questionnaire and categorised as good, sufficient, or poor. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for statistical analysis. They were then given health education about TB, after receiving health education about TB, 69 students did not consent to continue the study or complete the posttest and were therefore excluded, leaving 336 students as sample. Pretest demonstrated 225 students (67%) with good knowledge, 93 students (27,7%) with sufficient knowledge, and 18 students (5,3%) with poor knowledge, the overall median was 80, while posttest analysis revealed 264 students (78.6%) with good knowledge, 66 students (19.6%) with sufficient knowledge, and 6 students (1,8%) with poor knowledge, the overall median was 90 . The scores were compared using the Wilcoxon test with significantly improved score with a p-value of <0.001. In conclusion, health education significantly improved TB knowledge among students. Continued efforts to integrate TB education in schools are recommended to support TB control strategies.
