Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is an important disease with various manifestations in intensive care units (ICU). Despite the availability of effective treatments for TB, the mortality for patients admitted with TB to an ICU remains high. Additionally, the history of exposure to TB may not be present, and evidence of active TB is present in less than 50% of cases. Therefore, understanding the typical distribution, patterns, and imaging manifestations of TB is crucial.
