SETTING: The incidence of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is surprisingly high among
certain subgroups of patients in industrialized countries. Diagnosis is often difficult and can …

Methods: Consecutive patients suspected of having tuberculosis with isolated mediastinal
lymphadenopathy were included in a prospective study. Mediastinal lymphadenopathy was …

Utility of EUS‐FNA in diagnosing granulomatous lesions of mediastinum in regions with high
prevalence of tuberculosis has not yet been evaluated. In the present study, utility and …

BACKGROUND: EUS-guided FNA (EUS-FNA) or trucut biopsy (TCB) is indispensible in the
diagnosis of mediastinal malignancies. Less is known, however, about the usefulness of …

Introduction Mediastinal tuberculosis (TB) is rare and a diagnostic challenge. Transbronchial
needle aspiration guided by endoscopic ultrasonography (EBUS-TBNA) is an essential tool …

Aims: Patients with suspected tuberculosis without pulmonary lesions and with intrathoracic
lymphadenopathy often pose a diagnostic challenge. The aim of this study was to describe …

Background Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-
TBNA) has emerged as an important tool for the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer but its …

Objectives Endobronchial ultrasound‐guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS‐
TBNA) is a minimally invasive technique. A meta‐analysis was performed to assess the …

Background Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-
TBNA) is a minimally invasive procedure that has enabled mediastinal and hilar lymph node …

We fully support the use of a single linear endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) bronchoscope
for both endobronchial ultrasoundguided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) …
