Resumo

A tuberculose do lobo pulmonar inferior é menos comum do que as apresentações radiológicas clássicas da tuberculose pulmonar. Esta apresentação radiológica assume particular relevância nos doentes com algumas co morbilidades, como a diabetes mellitus, a infecção pelo VIH e o alcoolismo crónico. Fazemos uma revisão desta entidade a partir de um caso clínico ilustrativo.

Abstract

Lower lung lobe tuberculosis is less common than the classical radiological forms of pulmonary tuberculosis. However this radiological presentation has a particular relevance in patients with some associated pathological conditions, such as diabetes mellitus, HIV infection and chronic alcoholism. We make a review of this entity in reference to an illustrative clinical case.
