“…On contrast-enhanced images, early-stage lesions may demonstrate central enhancement (Fig 39) whereas more advanced lesions may demonstrate calcification (58,(66)(67)(68)(69)(70). Miliary hepatosplenic disease manifests as multiple tiny, low-attenuation foci at CT.…”

Tuberculosis can affect virtually any organ system in the body and can be devastating if left untreated. The increasing prevalence of tuberculosis in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals in recent years makes this disease a topic of universal concern. Because tuberculosis demonstrates a variety of clinical and radiologic findings and has a known propensity for dissemination from its primary site, it can mimic numerous other disease entities. Primary pulmonary tuberculosis typically manifests radiologically as parenchymal disease, lymphadenopathy, pleural effusion, miliary disease, or lobar or segmental atelectasis. In postprimary tuberculosis, the earliest radiologic finding is the development of patchy, ill-defined segmental consolidation. Both computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging are helpful in diagnosing tuberculous spondylitis and tuberculous arthritis. CT is especially useful in depicting gastrointestinal and genitourinary tuberculosis. In tuberculosis involving the central nervous system, CT and MR imaging findings vary depending on the stage of disease and the character of the lesion. A high degree of clinical suspicion and familiarity with the various radiologic manifestations of tuberculosis allow early diagnosis and timely initiation of appropriate therapy, thereby reducing patient morbidity.

“…Tuberculosis alone has also been implicated in disseminated intravascular coagulation. 16 The prognosis of Hodgkin's disease with HIV infection is almost certainly worse than for those without HIV, although published comparisons fail to match patients for age and disease stage. HIV seropositive patients present with more advanced disease than Hodgkin's disease patients without HIV infection.…”

“…1 Tubercle bacilli reach the liver by hematogenous dissemination, the portal of entry in the case of hepatic miliary tuberculosis is the hepatic artery, whereas in the case of focal liver tuberculosis it is the portal vein. 3 The rarity of the focal form of hepatic tuberculosis may be because of the relatively low hepatic tissue oxygen tension.…”
