    Notes: Abstract. Tuberculosis (TB) remains a common disease in the World. Its incidence has risen steadily since 1985, despite a preexisting continuous decreasing of its frequency due to an effective chemotherapy. Nonwhite people, socioeconomically disadvantaged, chronically debilitated groups and AIDS patients are the most concerned. Chest radiography remains the first imaging modality to evaluate TB. Widely radiographic appearances can be encountered, including normal chest X-ray. CT can be useful in all stages of the disease, particularly when clinical and radiological findings are in disagreement and/or when imaging findings are equivocal. CT should be proposed at the end of an effective antituberculous treatment to better subsequently detect fine lesions suggestive of reactivation TB.

    Notes: Abstract. The objective of this study was to assess the reversibility of pulmonary lesions in Wegener's granulomatosis using serial CT. We reviewed the follow-up CT scans of ten treated patients with confirmed Wegener's granulomatosis. The delay between the first evaluation before treatment and the second, on patients in clinical and biological remission, ranged from 6 to 54 months (mean 20.5 months). Follow-up CT showed a decrease in the extent of disease in all cases. Lesions disappeared completely, without scarring, in 4 of 4 ground-glass opacities, 25 of 36 nodules, and 4 of 9 pulmonary consolidations; they disappeared with residual scarring in 8 of 8 masses, 3 of 9 pulmonary consolidations, and 2 of 36 nodules. The majority of lesions disappear without scarring. Residual fibrosis may follow the occurence of masses and pulmonary consolidation. Computed tomography permits assessment of cicatricial lesions.
