Abstract：
Extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is the leading cause of communicable disease-related deaths in people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) worldwide and in South Africa. Mycobacterium tuberculosis disseminates haematogenously from an active primary lung focus and may affect extra-pulmonary sites in up to 15% of patients. Extra-pulmonary TB may present with a normal chest radiograph, which often causes a significant diagnostic dilemma. This review describes the main sites of involvement in EPTB, which is illustrated by local imaging examples.
摘要：
肺外结核（EPTB），由结核分枝杆菌引起，是全球和南非人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）感染者与传染病相关的死亡的主要原因。结核分枝杆菌从活跃的原发性肺灶中造血传播，并可能影响多达15％的患者的肺外部位。肺外结核病可能表现为正常的胸部X光片，这通常会导致严重的诊断困境。这篇综述描述了参与EPTB的主要地点，通过局部成像示例说明了这一点。
