Abstract:

Miliary tuberculosis (TB) is a lethal form of disseminated TB that results from a massive lymphohematogenous dissemination from a -laden focus. Diagnosis of miliary TB requires the presence of a diffuse miliary infiltrate on a chest radiograph or high-resolution CT (HRCT) or histopathological evidence of miliary tubercles in tissue specimens obtained from multiple organs. The majority of the patients in a study had chest radiographs consistent with miliary TB; in some, these classical radiographic changes evolved over the course of the disease. The diagnosis of miliary TB is easier when the patient presents with classical miliary shadowing on chest radiograph in an appropriate setting. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and spine is very useful in the initial evaluation and follow-up of miliary TB patients with TB meningitis (TBM) or spinal TB and also protects from radiation exposure. Adenosine deaminase and gamma interferon level estimation in ascitic fluid and pleural fluid can be helpful in the diagnosis of miliary TB. Changes in the WHO revised recommendations based on the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system regarding the timing of starting of antiretroviral drugs, the choice of drugs, and the timing of initiation in relation to institution of anti-TB treatment, have been provided in this chapter. Assisted mechanical ventilation and other interventions may be required for the management of patients with miliary TB who develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). BCG vaccination is effective in reducing the incidence of miliary TB, especially in children.
