RESUMO
Actualmente, Tuberculose Miliar (TM) designa todas as situações de doença progressiva resultantes da disseminação hematogénea maciça do Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
O autor apresenta um estudo retrospectivo que analisa as características clínico-epidemiológicas de 23 doentes internados com TM numa Unidade de Tuberculose dum hospital central, no período compreendido entre Abril de 1999 e Novembro de 2001. Cerca de 78% da população em estudo estava infectada com o Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana, situando-se a média etária nos 37,7±13,1 anos.
Os dados apresentados alertam para a dificuldade diagnóstica da TM, nomeadamente em doentes de risco, e para a necessidade de desencadeamento de mecanismos de diagnóstico eficazes.

ABSTRACT
Now a days, Miliary Tuberculosis (TM) refers to all forms of progressive disease resulting from massive dissemination of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
This is a retrospective analysis of all TM cases in a Tuberculosis Unit of a Central Hospital between April 1999 and November 2001.
The mean age was 37,7±13,1years and 78% were Human Immunodefiency Virus co-infected patients.
The results show the difficulty in the diagnosis of TM and alert for correct diagnostic methods.
