    Diagnosing tuberculosis in long-term hemodialysis patients is challenging due to atypical presentations and potential misdiagnosis. This study analyzes errors and offers treatment guidelines for kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pulmonology

    Background:

    • Long-term hemodialysis patients present unique diagnostic challenges for tuberculosis.
    • Atypical presentations of tuberculosis can mimic other conditions in this population.

    Observation:

    • Four cases of tuberculosis and one case of septic process were misdiagnosed as tuberculosis in hemodialysis patients.
    • Atypical tuberculosis forms, including miliary tuberculosis and pulmonary uremic edema, were noted.

    Findings:

    • Clinical differentiation of tuberculosis in hemodialysis patients is difficult.
    • Reduced diagnostic efforts and atypical presentations contribute to misdiagnosis.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the need for heightened vigilance in diagnosing tuberculosis in hemodialysis patients.
