Modalities for imaging of are limited and inadequately studied. One such modality is Tc-ethambutol scintigraphy which has shown promising results for diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB). Ethambutol, one of the primary antitubercular drugs, is bacteriostatic which acts on the mycolic acid cell wall synthesis of the . However, literature on its utility is scarce. The few studies that exist have reported its sensitivity and specificity between 90%- 95% and 71%-85%. We present here a case demonstrating the role of Tc-ethambutol scan in knee joint TB.
用于[成像对象]成像的方法有限且研究不足。其中一种方法是锝-乙胺丁醇闪烁扫描术,它在结核病(TB)诊断方面已显示出有前景的结果。乙胺丁醇是主要抗结核药物之一,具有抑菌作用,作用于[细菌名称]的分枝菌酸细胞壁合成。然而,关于其效用的文献很少。现有的少数研究报告其敏感性和特异性分别在90%-95%和71%-85%之间。我们在此展示一例病例,说明锝-乙胺丁醇扫描在膝关节结核中的作用。
