In this case report, we described a 48-year-old human immunodeficiency virus-negative man with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) who had an incidental finding of concurrent chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. We highlighted the importance of considering other differential diagnoses when patients present with TB or haematological malignancies. We also discussed the difficulties in diagnosis when both of these conditions co-exist and how this affected treatment and management.
在本病例报告中,我们描述了一名48岁的人类免疫缺陷病毒阴性的肺结核患者,他偶然被发现同时患有慢性淋巴细胞白血病。我们强调了在患者出现肺结核或血液系统恶性肿瘤时考虑其他鉴别诊断的重要性。我们还讨论了这两种疾病共存时的诊断困难,以及这如何影响治疗和管理。
