Question
Most frequent radiological manifestations of: a) A Primary TB, (minimum 3 radiological findings) b) A Post-primary or Extra-primary TB (minimum 3 radiological findings)
Expert Solution
Step 1

If TB is not first detected medically but radiographic or computed tomographic (CT) results are suggestive of active TB, an additional screening test for active tuberculosis is indicated. Regardless of the reason, any diagnostic imaging finding that suggests active TB should prompt urgent consultation with the referring clinician so that patients can be placed in pulmonary isolation until sputum staining findings are negative. Where such a system is in place, infection prevention personnel should also be alerted to assure that patients with active TB and their closest acquaintances are handled correctly.
