Miliary Tuberculosis with Diffuse Pulmonary and Extrapulmonary Involvement.

In patients coming from countries with a high prevalence of tuberculosis and presenting with chronic infectious disease, tuberculosis with pulmonary and/or extrapulmonary involvement should be included in the differential diagnosis.

Observational study on the incidence of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis in patients with renal impairment following gadoterate meglumine administration: the NSsaFe study.

Background: Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a rare life-threatening condition strongly associated with the administration of gadolinium-based contrast agents in patients with severe or endstage renal impairment.

Purpose: To prospectively determine the incidence of NSF in patients with renal impairment after administration of gadoterate meglumine.

Study Type: Prospective.

Advances in imaging chest tuberculosis: blurring of differences between children and adults.

This article reviews the ongoing role of imaging in the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) and its complications. A modern imaging classification of TB, taking into account both adults and children and the blurring of differences in the presentation patterns, must be absorbed into daily practice. Clinicians must not only be familiar with imaging features of TB but also become expert at detecting these when radiologists are unavailable.

Imaging features of extraaxial musculoskeletal tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a public health problem in both developing and industrialized countries. TB can involve pulmonary as well as extrapulmonary sites. The musculoskeletal system is involved in 1-3% of patients with tuberculosis.

MRI features of focal splenic lesions in patients with disseminated tuberculosis.

Objective: The aim of this study is to describe the MRI features of focal splenic lesions in patients with disseminated tuberculosis.

Conclusion: Tuberculous focal splenic lesions are small, multiple, and most often associated with splenomegaly. Signal intensities vary on both T1- and T2-weighted images.
