The relation between CT findings and sputum microbiology studies in active pulmonary tuberculosis

Highlights • All micronodules in pulmonary tuberculosis are not of a centrilobular distribution; rather, many are perilymphatic. • Centrilobular micronodules in pulmonary tuberculosis are associated with positive sputum microbiological results. • CT features of active lesions in pulmonary tuberculos...

Description
Summary:Highlights • All micronodules in pulmonary tuberculosis are not of a centrilobular distribution; rather, many are perilymphatic. • Centrilobular micronodules in pulmonary tuberculosis are associated with positive sputum microbiological results. • CT features of active lesions in pulmonary tuberculosis are well correlated with sputum studies.
