A rare presentation of Miliary Tuberculosis with Hypereosinophilia
Journal Title: Perspectives In Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Tuberculosis remains one of the most important causes of death from an infectious disease. Miliary tuberculosis (TB) is potentially fatal form of TB that results from massive lymphohematogenous dissemination of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis bacilli. There are non specific clinical symptoms, and the chest radiograph does not reveal classical miliary changes. Classic miliary TB is defined as millet like (mean, 2mm; range, 1-5mm) seeding of TB bacilli in the lung. High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) is relatively more sensitive and shows randomly distributed miliary nodules. Here we present a case of miliary tuberculosis which is associated with hypereosinophilia.
