Overview
Pulmonary tuberculosis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause cough, fever, night sweats, hemoptysis and weight loss, such as: brucellosis, bronchogenic carcinoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, bacterial pneumonia, sarcoidosis, mycoplasmal pneumonia.
Differential Diagnosis
Pulmonary Tuberculosis
| Disease | Findings |
|---|---|
| Bacterial pneumonia | Sudden onset of symptoms, such as high fever, cough, purulent sputum, chest pain. Consolidation on chest X-ray, leukocytosis. |
| Bronchogenic carcinoma | Can be asymptomatic, usually at older ages (> 50 years old), cough, hemoptysis, weight loss |
| Brucellosis | Fever, anorexia, night sweats, malaise,back pain , headache, and depression. History of exposure to infected animal |
| Hodgkin lymphoma | Fever, night sweats, pruritus, painless adenopathy, mediastinal mass |
| Mycoplasmal pneumonia | Gradual onset of dry cough, headache, malaise, sore throat. Diffuse bilateral infiltrates in chest X-ray. |
| Sarcoidosis | Non-caseating granulomas in lungs and other organs, bilateral hiliar adenopathy, predominantly in African American females. |
Extra-Pulmonary Tuberculosis
| Extra-Pulmonary Location | Differential Diagnosis |
|---|---|
| Tuberculous Lymphadenitis | Lymphoma, squamous cell carcinoma, papillary thyroid cancer, pyogenic infection |
| Skeletal Tuberculosis | Multiple myeloma, bone metastasis, spinal cord abscess, osteoporosis |
| Tuberculous Arthrits | Bacterial septic arthritis, pseudogout |
| Central Nervous System Tuberculosis | Bacterial meningitis, viral meningitis, encephalitis |
| Tuberculosis Peritonitis | Bacterial peritonitis, chronic peritoneal dialysis |
