Labial Biopsy in Patients With Tuberculosis Disease

April 15, 2014 updated by: Stephane Mouly, MD PhD, Hopital Lariboisière

The Value of Labial Biopsy in 65 Patients With Tuberculosis Disease

The distinction between Tuberculosis disease (TB), a worldwide infective granulomatosis requiring long-term antibiotic treatment, and sarcoïdosis, a rare granulomatous disease successfully treated with high dose steroids is not straightforward and may delay the treatment choice by the physician.

The goal was to evaluate prospectively and consecutively the presence of epithelioid granulomas in salivary glands biopsy of patients with TB.
