Although tuberculosis (TB) involves the lungs most commonly, nonpulmonary sites of disease are increasingly common. The modes of presentation of TB and the approach to diagnosis depend on the extent of the disease and the organs that are affected. In addition, TB involving any site commonly causes systemic symptoms such as fever and weight loss. Early and accurate diagnoses depend on recognition of the systemic and local manifestations of TB, the obtaining of appropriate diagnostic tests, and the correct interpretation of results.
尽管结核病（TB）最常累及肺部，但非肺部疾病部位越来越常见。结核病的表现方式和诊断方法取决于疾病的范围和受影响的器官。此外，累及任何部位的结核病通常会引起发热和体重减轻等全身症状。早期准确的诊断取决于对结核病全身和局部表现的认识、进行适当的诊断测试以及对结果的正确解读。
