Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious infectious disease caused by an airborne pathogen mycobacterium tuberculosis and typically presents with classic symptoms of fever, chills, night sweats, cough, and weight loss. TB has been shown to be an independent risk factor for venous thromboembolism by inducing an inflammatory state. We present a rare case of miliary TB that was initially diagnosed with a sub-massive pulmonary embolism.

摘要

结核病（TB）是由空气传播病原体结核分枝杆菌引起的一种严重传染病，通常表现为发热、寒战、盗汗、咳嗽和体重减轻等典型症状。结核病已被证明是通过引发炎症状态而成为静脉血栓栓塞的独立危险因素。我们报告一例罕见的粟粒性结核病病例，该病例最初被诊断为亚大块肺栓塞。
