Overview

Miliary tuberculosis is more common among immunocompromised patients who are at high risk for other fungal, bacterial, and viral infections.

Differentiating miliary tuberculosis from other diseases

Miliary tuberculosis is more common among immunocompromised patients who are at high risk for other fungal, bacterial, and viral infections. It should be differentiated from the following diseases:

Disease Differentiating signs and symptoms Differentiating tests
CNS lymphoma[1]
Disseminated tuberculosis[2]
Aspergillosis[3]
Cryptococcosis
Chagas disease[4]
CMV infection[5]
HSV infection[6]
Varicella Zoster infection[7]
Brain abscess[8][9]
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy[10]
  • Symptoms are often more insidious in onset and progress over months. Symptoms include progressive weakness, poor coordination, with gradual slowing of mental function. Only seen in the immunosuppressed. Rarely associated with fever or other systemic symptoms
