ABSTRACT

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a global public health problem. According to reports from the World Health Organization third part of the world population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Radiographic: Radiologically TB disease manifests as parequimatosa, lymphadenopathy, miliary disease or pleural effusion.
Diagnosis: comprehensive assessment of a patient with suspected TB includes medical history, chest radiograph, physical examination and microbiological cultures, in addition to the tuberculin skin test (TST).
Conclusion: CXR is the initial examination is essential and useful for monitoring in cases of doubt, CT scan, which is most useful in disseminating bronchogenic cavitations, determination of activity and miliary disease.
