Tuberculosis (TB) is re-emerging globally, affecting multiple organ systems. Early diagnosis is crucial, as TB symptoms can mimic other diseases, making imaging interpretation vital for effective treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) is experiencing a resurgence, particularly in nonendemic regions.
  • Factors contributing to this include increased migration and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic.
  • TB can affect virtually any organ system, not just the thorax.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of understanding the imaging manifestations of tuberculosis.
  • To emphasize the challenges in diagnosing TB, especially when exposure history is absent or skin tests are negative.
  • To underscore the need for radiologists and clinicians to recognize TB's diverse presentations.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical and radiologic features of tuberculosis across various organ systems.

  • Analysis of diagnostic challenges, including non-specific symptoms and negative diagnostic tests.
  • Emphasis on the role of imaging in identifying patterns suggestive of tuberculosis.

    • Main Results:

    • Tuberculosis can present with varied clinical and radiologic findings, often mimicking other conditions.
    • Evidence of active disease or a history of exposure is not always present.
    • Diagnostic tests like the tuberculin skin test can be unreliable in excluding infection.

    Conclusions:

    • Timely diagnosis of tuberculosis is critical to prevent severe morbidity.
    • Radiologists and clinicians must be aware of the typical and atypical imaging patterns of TB.
    • Definitive diagnosis often requires biopsy or culture, but imaging plays a key role in guiding suspicion and management.
