Induced Sputum Versus Bronchoscopy in Smear Negative Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Comparison of Induced Sputum and Bronchoscopic Approach (BAL, Fluoroscopy-guided Transbronchial Biopsies) in Patients Suspected of Pulmonary Tuberculosis With Negative Direct Exam on Three Consecutive Non-induced Sputum Samples
This is a randomised study that compares different diagnostic approaches for diagnosing pulmonary tuberculosis in patients suspected of pulmonary tuberculosis in whom the three classic (non-induced) sputum samples didn't show tuberculous bacillus on direct examination.
The investigators compare the sensibility of induced sputum technique with an endoscopic approach (CT-scan followed by BAL and fluoroscopy-guided transbronchial biopsies and eventually sputum collection immediately after the bronchoscopy).
People in high risk population for tuberculosis undergoing screening by chest X-ray or symptomatic patients will be admitted to the hospital if their chest X-ray shows a suspicion of active tuberculosis.
According good clinical practice: (non-induced) sputum samples will be taken at admission and every following morning. If direct examination and PCR of the first three classic sputum samples are negative: patients will be randomised in two groups with a different diagnostic approach (induced sputum versus endoscopic approach) The aim of our study is to proof that a thoroughgoing endoscopic approach has a higher sensibility than an induced sputum in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in patients with a high suspicion of active tuberculosis on the chest X-ray but with a negative direct examination and/or PCR on three consecutive normal sputum samples.
The investigators will include 154 patients (based on a statistical analysis for a hypothesis that the endoscopic approach has a sensibility that's twice the sensibility of the induced sputum).
- first arm: 2 consecutive induced sputum using an ultrasonic nebulizer.
- second arm: CT thorax to evaluate the exact anatomic localisation of the disease followed by fluoroscopy-guided bronchoscopy for BAL (bronchoalveolar lavage) and transbronchial biopsies. A sputum sample immediately after the endoscopy will be collected if possible.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Endoscopic approach
CT thorax is done in all patients to localize the exact anatomical site of the disease.
This evaluation is followed by fluoroscopy-guided bronchoscopy for BAL (bronchoalveolar lavage) and TBB (transbronchial biopsies).
A sputum sample immediately after the endoscopy will be collected if possible.

Two different methods to obtain a diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in patients with negative classic sputum samples are compared.
Other Names:
|
Active Comparator: Induced sputum
Sputum induction after administration of 6-8 mL 3% NaCl aerosol by an ultrasonic nebulizer; sputum will be collected 15-30 minutes after administration of the aerosol.
This process will be done twice in every patient.
