Olympus reviewed the following literature titled ¿radial endobronchial ultrasound in diagnosing peripheral lung lesions in a high tuberculosis setting." the aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic utility of radial endobronchial ultrasound (ebus) with guide sheath in the diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions (plls), a high tb incidence setting.Total 120 patients were included.The final diagnosis was malignancy in 76 cases and benign in 44 cases.22 patients had a final diagnosis of pulmonary tb.Overall, 58.8 % of pulmonary tb cases relied on histology to make an early diagnosis.This study concluded that radial ebus guided bronchosopy was useful in investigating plls in a high tb incidence setting.The data also suggests that radial ebus was a more rapid diagnosis technique for tuberculous lesions.Type of adverse events/number of patients: bleeding [malignant] - 5 patients.Bleeding [benign] - 2 patients.Pneumothorax - 1 patient.This literature article requires 2 reports.The related patient identifiers are as follows: (b)(6) :bf-1t260.(b)(6) :um-s20-20r.This medwatch report is for patient identifier (b)(6).There is no report of any olympus device malfunction in any procedure described in this study.The deaths were determined to be not reportable.
