Tuberculosis (TB) is a common disease worldwide affecting more than 2 billion people, including latent, pulmonary, and extrapulmonary TB. The presentation of disseminated TB is variable and dependent on the organs affected. Therefore, making the diagnosis and providing appropriate treatment can be delayed. We present a case of disseminated TB in a patient with Sjögren's syndrome on hydroxychloroquine monotherapy without traditional risk factors.
结核病（TB）是一种全球常见疾病，影响超过20亿人，包括潜伏性、肺结核和肺外结核。播散性结核病的表现多种多样，取决于受影响的器官。因此，诊断和提供适当治疗可能会延迟。我们报告一例在接受羟氯喹单一疗法且无传统危险因素的干燥综合征患者中发生的播散性结核病病例。
