TB pneumonia (1)
This is an alveolar image: non-homogenous,not clear margins, except if contact withfissure and with air bronchogram
The association with other tuberculouslesions is very frequent: adenopathies,nodules and infiltrates, especially in PLHIV
The lesions are often bilateral butasymmetrical

TB pneumonia (2)
AFB is often positive in sputum, because theselesions are very rich in TB bacilli.
The spontaneous evolution is development of
cavitation and destruction of the lung tissue,retraction and fibrosis: important sequela iftreatment is too late.
TB pneumonia is frequent among PLHIV. In thiscases the pneumonia is frequently in the inferiorlobes as is in the superior lobes. it is oftenassociated with adenopathies. The cavitation isinfrequent in cases of severe immunosuppression.

Conclusion 1
TB frequently presents radiologically as pneumonia
PTB lesions are often bilateral and associated withnodules, adenopathies, cavities
If TB penumonia, AFB is often positive, but do not neglectcauses of false negative:
salivary sputum
patient too weak for reliable sputum laboratory error
treatment started before sampling

Conclusions 2
TB pneumoniae is frequent among PLHIV:all the lobes can be affected (particularly theinferior lobes) and are often associated withbulky adenopathies. In cases of severe
immunodepression, cavitation is rare Differential diagnosis with the other
infectious pneumoniae is only possible withthe history-taking and clinical examination,
which must always be associated with theanalysis of the CXR.
Anytime you are not sure: make clinical,radiological and sputum/lab follow up
