EPIDEMIOLOGY
There has also been an increase in global prevalence, particularly in immuno-compromised patients, with a rate of increase of approximately 1.1% per year.
This increase has been seen not only in Africa and Asia, but also in Europe.
Early diagnosis promotes effective treatment and is, therefore, essential.

Primary Tuberculosis
Primary tuberculosis is seen in patients not previously exposed to M tuberculosis.
It is most common in infants and children and has the highest prevalence in children under 5 years of age.
![Page 8: Role of Radiology in Pulmonary Tuberculosis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051705/589c7d091a28abc2258b575d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Primary Tuberculosis
At radiology, primary tuberculosis manifests as four main entities:
1. Parenchymal disease, 2. Lymphadenopathy, 3. Miliary disease, and 4. Pleural effusion.

Lymphadenopathy in a patient with primary tuberculosis. Chest radiograph shows a bulky left hilum and a right paratracheal mass,findings that are consistent with lymphadenopathy and are typical inpediatric patients.

A radiologic scar pers- ists that can calcify in
up to 15% of cases, an entity that is known as a Ghon focus.
![Page 16: Role of Radiology in Pulmonary Tuberculosis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051705/589c7d091a28abc2258b575d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Lymphadenopathy
Lymphadenopathy is seen in up to 96% of childrenand 43% of adults.
Lymphadenopathy is typically unilateral and right sided, involving the hilum and right paratracheal region
![Page 17: Role of Radiology in Pulmonary Tuberculosis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051705/589c7d091a28abc2258b575d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Lymphadenopathy
It can be the sole radiographic feature, afinding that is more common in infants
The combination of calcified hilarnodes and a Ghon focus is called a Ranke
complexand is suggestive of previous tuberculosis,

Miliary Disease
It is usually seen in the elderly, infants, and immunocompromised persons, manifesting within 6 months of initial exposure.
Chest radiography is usually normal atthe onset of symptoms
![Page 19: Role of Radiology in Pulmonary Tuberculosis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051705/589c7d091a28abc2258b575d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Miliary Disease
The classic radiographic findingsof evenly distributed diffuse small 2–3-mmnodules, with a slight lower lobe
predominance,are seen in 85% of cases.
![Page 20: Role of Radiology in Pulmonary Tuberculosis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051705/589c7d091a28abc2258b575d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Pleural Effusion
The effusion is often the sole manifestation of tuberculosis and usually manifests 3–7 months after initial exposure.
The effusion is usually unilateral, and complications
(eg, empyema formation, fistulization, bone erosion) are rare.
![Page 21: Role of Radiology in Pulmonary Tuberculosis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051705/589c7d091a28abc2258b575d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Post Primary TB
Postprimary tuberculosis is progressive, with cavitation as its hallmark,
1. Predilection for the upper lobes 2. The absence of lymphadenopathy 3. Cavitation.

ULTRASOUND
Ultrasonography is considered as gold standard for the diagnosis of pleural effusion
Blunting of CP angle is demonstrated on Xray after collection of 175 mls on PA and 75 mls on Lateral projection
On ultrasound 10 mls pleural effusion can be easily diagnosed
(US) often demonstrates a complex septated effusion in empyema and hemothorax

CT SCAN
CT is more sensitive than conventional radiography,
with nodules seen in a random distribution.
Any nodes greater than 2 cm in diameter generally
have a low-attenuation center secondary tonecrosis at CT and are highly suggestive of
activeDisease. CT is more sensitive than chest
radiography for assessing lymphadenopathy.

In a number of published comparative studieschest X-ray images from DM patients have beendescribed as ‘atypical’, mainly because they frequently involve the lower lung fields, often with cavities.
