AbstractEndobronchial tuberculosis (EBTB) is defined as tuberculous infection of the tracheobronchial tree with microbial and histopathological evidence. It is seen in 10-40% of patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis. More than 90% of the patients with EBTB have some degree of bronchial stenosis. 10 to 20 % have normal chest radiograph. Therefore, a clear chest radiograph does not exclude the diagnosis of EBTB. Bronchoscopic sampling has been the key to the diagnosis producing more than 90% yield on smear as well as on culture. Bronchoscopy is the gold standard for diagnosis of EBTB. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment, before the development of fibrosis is important to prevent complications of endobronchial tuberculosis, such as bronchostenosis. EBTB is classified into seven subtypes by bronchoscopic findings according to Chung Classification: actively caseating, edematous-hyperemic, fibrostenotic, tumorous,granular, ulcerative, nonspecific bronchitic. The Aim of the Study is to evaluate varied findings of Bronchoscopic presentations of Endobronchial Tuberculosis.

Key Word: Bronchoscopic evaluation, endobronchial tuberculosis.
