Overview
Miliary tuberculosis is more common among immunocompromised patients who are at high risk for other fungal, bacterial, and viral infections.
Differentiating miliary tuberculosis from other diseases
Miliary tuberculosis is more common among immunocompromised patients who are at high risk for other fungal, bacterial, and viral infections. It should be differentiated from the following diseases:
| Disease | Differentiating signs and symptoms | Differentiating tests |
|---|---|---|
| CNS lymphoma[1] |
|
|
| Disseminated tuberculosis[2] |
|
|
| Aspergillosis[3] |
|
|
| Cryptococcosis |
|
|
| Chagas disease[4] |
|
|
| CMV infection[5] |
|
|
| HSV infection[6] |
|
|
| Varicella Zoster infection[7] |
|
|
| Brain abscess[8][9] |
|
|
| Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy[10] |
|
