Diagnostic workup revealed the characteristic radiological findings of diffuse miliary nodules on CT scan andX-ray of thechest. Laboratory investigations, including a positive interferon-gamma release assay, supported the diagnosis. The patient was initiated on a multidrug anti-TB regimen consisting of ...
disseminated TB is often used interchangeably with miliary TB, but sometimes reserved for nonreactive TB or widespread TB without typical miliary findings on chest X-ray. The patient's origin in a TB-endemic region suggested that he suffered from cryptic miliary TB due to reactivation many years ...
Laboratory findings revealed anaemia, leukocytosis, elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) and hypoalbuminemia. A chest x-ray showed bilateral reticulonodular shadows, predominantly in the mid and lower right lung lobes. A purified protein derivative (PPD) skin test and induced sputum smear for acid-...

The diagnosis of miliary TB is usually straightforward when typical radiographic lesions are present. The initial chest X-ray may, however, be negative. In such cases, a computed tomography (CT) scan my reveal miliary infiltrates. The PPD skin test is positive in only 52–72% of cases.119–...
