Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • A 75-year-old patient presented with a year-long history of arthrosis and recurrent pneumonia.
  • The patient's condition prompted hospitalization for further investigation.

Observation:

  • Sputum analysis in the hospital revealed the presence of acid-fast bacilli.
  • Chest X-ray showed extensive inflammatory and fibrous lesions in the lungs.
  • Pelvis X-ray indicated lesions consistent with tuberculosis.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with disseminated tuberculosis, involving both the lungs and pelvic bones.
  • Initial treatment with antituberculous therapy was initiated.

Implications:
