Primary Tuberculosis
usually asymptomatic: most common radiographic appearance – normal
“Ghon” lesion – calcified nodule with parenchymal scar.
“Ranke complex” – Ghon lesion & calcified hilar node.
may have hematogenous spread, which also calcifies as immunity develops.
in 5-10% the infection is poorly controlled, resulting in progressive primary tuberculosis.

3
Primary Tuberculosis
Most commonly in children, immune compromised patients (HIV seropositive, TNFα blockers)
Opacities are seen in middle and lower lungs
Most frequently unilateral, right middle lobe, lower lobes
focal pneumonitis, with caseous necrosis and lymphatic spread to ipsilateral hilar and mediastinal nodes
.
6
Primary Tuberculosis
Hilar or paratracheal lymphadenopathy with or without a infiltrates is characteristicand may cause bronchial compression .
Bilateral lymphadenopathy in up to 15%
Lymphadenopathy may result in lobar atelectasis due to bronchial compression.

Progressive primary tuberculosis
extensive cavitation of tuberculous pneumonia with endobronchial spread
rupture of necrotic nodes into bronchi results in further endobronchial spread, as well as hematogenous spread
pleural effusion (25%) – hypersensitivity reaction.

Reactivation tuberculosis
characteristically have apical abnormalities.(up to 90%)
usually posterior segment upper lobe.
20
Reactivation tuberculosis
Radiographic findings– patchy consolidation with streaky opacities (100%)
– primarily apical posterior upper lobes (90%)
– cavitation 45%
– bronchogenic spread of disease with ill-defined nodules (20-25%)
– fibrosis (30%)
– pleural effusion (20%)

Tuberculous cavities
usually have thick, irregular walls
with treatment, walls thin and cavity shrinks and usually collapse

Pleural effusions
primary TB (25%)
hypersensitivity reaction to TB proteins
organisms uncommonly isolated from fluid
may be unassociated with obvious parenchymal disease on CXR

Pleural effusion
post primary TB (20%)
caused by rupture of a tuberculous cavity into the pleural space, causing empyema
may cause bronchopleural fistula with air fluid levels
often results in irreversible pleural thickening and calcification

“Tree – in – bud”
represents solid caseous material filling or surrounding terminal bronchioles or alveolar ducts.
may coalesce, resulting in focal areas of bronchopneumonia
usually reversible, resolving within 5-9 months of treatment

CT/ HRCT findings
pleural effusion
lymph node enlargement with central necrosis
interlobular septal thickening
bronchovascular distortion and impaction

45
CT / HRCT
more sensitive than chest radiography in detection and characterization of parenchymal and mediastinal disease, particularly in primary tuberculosis
more accurately defines and characterizes lymphadenopathy
46
Miliary TB
fine nodular or reticulonodular pattern, evenly distributed
distinguished from endobronchial spread by uniform size of nodules and even distribution
can occur with reactivation of progressive Primary TB

Reactivation TB complications
pneumothorax – due to cavity rapture into pleural space
can also occur due to formation of subpleural blebs
Endobronchial stenosis

Mycetomas (fungus balls)
common in patients with cavitary tuberculosis
colonization of cavities by aspergillus
best shown by CT
54
Mycetoma
intracavitary mass with an air-crescent sign
changes position in cavity with prone/ decubitus scans
not specific to tuberculous cavities (sarcoid, bulla, etc.)

TB and AIDS
TB reported in up to 10% of AIDS patients
radiographic appearance is more similar to primary TB, although reactivation is the most likely mechanism
non cavitary consolidation in upper & lower regions associated with hilar / mediastinal lymphadenopathy

TB and AIDS
if CD4 count greater than 200, tuberculosis is indistinguishable from non-HIV patients (upper lobe cavitary infiltrates)
if CD4 count less than 200, radiographic findings are similar to primary tuberculosis (80%)
Dissemination is also more common in patients with greater degrees of immunocompromise, with miliary and extrapulmonary disease

TB and AIDS
Normal CXR reported in up to 15% of AIDS / HIV patients with isolated TB– CT much more sensitive in these cases

65
TB and AIDS
30-60% with tuberculosis have extra pulmonary foci, and only half of these have identifiable concomitant pulmonary infection
abscesses of multiple organs including prostate, liver, spleen, chest and abdominal wall, and pancreas
66
Extrapulmonary manifestations of Tuberculosis exposure of superficial mucosal surfaces to
infected respiratory secretions
contiguous spread
lymphohematogenous dissemination– (especially in immunocompromised hosts)

Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis can affect any organ
Cardiac: pericarditis, pericardial effusion, myocarditis CNS: meningitis, tuberculomas, tuberculous abscesses,
cerebritis, and miliary TB Head and neck: lymphadenitis (scrofula), less common
sinonasal, thyroid, skull base Musculoskeletal: spinal column, pelvis, hip, and knee
(spondilytis, osteomyelitis, arthritis) Abdominal: lymphadenopathy, peritonitis, ileocecal
region, hepatosplenic, adrenal Genitourinary: renal, ureters, bladder, genital (fallopian
tubes in women and seminal or prostate gland in men)

Hematogenous dissemination
involves organ systems in proportion to blood flow
spleen,liver,lungs, bone marrow, kidneys, adrenals, eyes
splenomegaly or hepatomegaly with small abscesses
meningitis, choroid plexus, pericarditis
70
Hematogenous dissemination
tuberculous meningitis thought to occur via rupture of a subependymal tubercle into the subarachroid space
basal meninges most commonly involved
Secondarily results in cortical and lacunar brain infarction, and spinal cord infarction

Bone involvement
Potts disease – Tuberculous spondylitis– destructive lesions in spine primarily centered
in vertebral discs, and secondarily involving vertebral end plates, resulting in kyphosis.
May result in paravertebral abscess – “Cold abscess”.
Extends under anterior longitudinal ligament, involving multiple vertebra.
