Naso-Sinusal Tuberculosis: 3 Cases Report
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction: Tuberculosis remains a real public health problem in Tunisia. Extra-pulmonary localizations account for 20 to 30% of tuberculosis disease, dominated by the node, osseous and urogenital localization.Case Report: The authors present three cases of nasosinusal tuberculosis, an unusual and rare localization of the disease, in a man and 2 women aged respectively of 30, 65 and 36 years. Results: The main symptoms were dominated by nasal obstruction, posterior throwing and dental pain. CT-scan showed a filling of the nasosinusal cavities with various stages of bony lysis. In all the cases, tuberculosis was confirmed histologically after an endoscopic middle meatotomy. Investigations looking for tuberculosis elsewhere were negative in all cases. Treatment was based on anti-tuberculosis drugs during 9 to 12 months. The evolution was favourable in all the cases.Conclusions: Nasosinusal tuberculosis is a rare chronic infection associating often variable levels of bony lysis. Histological exam remains the best way to confirm it. Therapy is based on anti-tuberculosis drugs. Medical investigations must usually search other localizations of the disease.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
