Diagnostic Approach to Atypical Tuberculosis
Abstract：Tuberculosis (tuberculosis, TB) is an ancient chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection. Since its discovery in 1882, it has been more than 100 years. MTB usually first invades the lungs to cause infection and spreads through the respiratory tract; when the body's immunity decreases, it can also spread through the lymphatic or blood system, leading to extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Pulmonary tuberculosis (pulmonary tuberculosis, PTB) is the most common type of TB, and extrapulmonary tuberculosis is also an important part of TB [1].
