Case Summary

Diagnosis:  Miliary Tuberculosis


Clinical hints:

These patients are very sick, and require prompt diagnosis and treatment. Any diffuse "miliary" process should raise the suspicion of miliary tuberculosis.


Radiological Pearls:
  • diffuse micro-nodular pattern
     
  • all the lungs are involved
     
  • nodules dense and discrete
     
  • may have other findings of TB
