    Study Notes

    Diagnosis of Primary Tuberculosis Complex

    • Chest radiograph (X-ray) or computed tomography (CT) scan to identify abnormalities in the lungs
    • Tuberculin skin test (Mantoux test) or interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) to diagnose latent TB infection
    • Sputum smear or culture to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis
    • Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or rapid molecular diagnostic tests to detect genetic material of TB bacteria

    Types of Disseminated Tuberculosis

    • Miliary tuberculosis: widespread dissemination of TB bacteria through the bloodstream, affecting multiple organs
    • Meningitis: infection of the lining surrounding the brain and spinal cord
    • Pneumonic plague: infection of the lungs and airways
    • Osteoarticular tuberculosis: infection of bones and joints
    • Gastrointestinal tuberculosis: infection of the digestive system
    • Genitourinary tuberculosis: infection of the kidneys, bladder, or reproductive organs

    Clinical Signs of Subacute Disseminated Pulmonary Tuberculosis

    • Chronic cough with blood-tinged sputum
    • Fever, chills, and night sweats
    • Weight loss and loss of appetite
    • Coughing up blood or rust-colored sputum
    • Fatigue and weakness
    • Chest pain or tightness

    Symptoms of Miliary Tuberculosis

    • High fever, chills, and sweating
    • Diarrhea, abdominal pain, and vomiting
    • Headache, confusion, and stiff neck
    • Seizures, loss of consciousness, or coma
    • Skin lesions or rashes
    • Enlarged lymph nodes, spleen, or liver
    • Bone or joint pain

    Favorable Course of Primary Tuberculosis Complex

    • Formation of a granuloma, a cluster of immune cells that contain the infection
    • Calcification of the primary lesion, leaving a hard, calcified scar
    • Resolution of symptoms and radiographic abnormalities within 6-12 months
    • Complete healing with minimal residual lung damage
