    Exposure to SO2 does not have a chronic effect on pulmonary functions of apricot workers
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010) Ermis, Hilal; Gokirmak, Munire; Yildirim, Zeki; Yologlu, Saim; Ankarali, Handan
    The authors have previously demonstrated that apricot sulfurization workers develop asthma-like syndrome during apricot sulfurization due to exposure to sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas. The aim of the current study was to demonstrate if exposure to SO2 gas had any chronic effects on pulmonary functions and bronchial reactivity of the workers. Twenty-five apricot sulfurization workers and a control group were included in the study. Physical examination, skin prick tests, pulmonary function tests (PFTs), and bronchoprovocation tests (BPTs) were performed before and after the season of sulfurization in the worker group. Skin prick tests, PFTs, and BPTs were performed also in the control group without a history of exposure to SO2 gas. There was no statistically significant difference between PFT and BPT results of the workers and the control group. Comparison of the PFT results of the workers before and after the season of apricot sulfurization neither reveal a significant difference. Four (16%) out of 25 workers were positive for BPTs before the period. Only one worker who had a negative BPT result before the sulfurization season was positive afterwards. The lack of a chronic effect on pulmonary functions is consistent with the diagnosis of asthma-like syndrome in apricot sulfurization workers.

    Mediastinal Tuberculosis Lymphadenitis Complicated with Pulmonary Tuberculosis
    (Bilimsel Tip Publishing House, 2007) Yetkin, Ozkan; Pembegul, Irem; Mutlu, Levent Cem; Yildirim, Zeki
    Tuberculosis is a growing health problem especially in developing countries. Tuberculosis lymphadenitis is the most frequent occurrence of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. In our case, there was widening of upper mediastinum on chest x-ray and thoracic CT scans demonstrated multilocular abscess on the upper mediastinum which was laying to paratracheal site. Acit-fast bacilli was positive on pus obtained by USG guided fine needle aspiration. Antituberculosis treatment was given. Homogenius infiltration were determined in chest X-ray on the left upper zone 7th day of treatment and fever increased. Although extended spectrum antibiotics treatment were given fever continued and no regression on chest X-ray. Acit-fast bacilli was positive on sputum analysis. We though that mediatinal abcess fistulised to lung parenchima because initial sputum acit-fast bacilli was negative and patient described sputum with pus. Antituberculosis treatment was continued and acit-fast bacilli became negative on sputum.
