[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] The absolute criteria involve identifying M. tuberculosis either using culture, molecular tool such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), or histopathologic examination.

A TB pulmonar primária normalmente surge após a primoinfecção, é mais comum em crianças e pacientes imunossuprimidos e cursa com a presença de infiltrados inflamatórios, acompanhados de linfadenopatia.…”
