Clinically unrecognized miliary tuberculosis: an autopsy study
CONCLUSION: Greater awareness of MT is needed to improve recognition in clinical settings. In particular, MT should be considered in patients with atypical clinical presentation and diffuse pulmonary infiltrates on chest X-ray, particularly if they have chronic renal failure, malignancy, hematological disorders or a history of recent surgery.
LIMITATIONS: None.
