**Q: What is Disseminated Tuberculosis?**
**A: Disseminated Tuberculosis (DTB)**, also known as miliary tuberculosis, is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition in which Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) bacteria spread throughout the body, leading to widespread infection.
**Key Symptoms of Disseminated Tuberculosis**
* Fever
* Chills
* Night sweats
* Weakness and fatigue
* Weight loss
* Loss of appetite
* Confusion
* Abdominal pain
* Chest pain
* Shortness of breath
**Causes of Disseminated Tuberculosis**
* Weakened immune system (e.g., due to HIV/AIDS, Diabète, cancer)
* Uncontrolled or untreated primary tuberculosis infection
* Infected blood or body fluids entering systemic circulation
**Diagnosis of Disseminated Tuberculosis**
* Medical history and physical examination
* Imaging tests (e.g., chest X-ray, CT scan) to detect lesions in various organs
* Blood tests to identify TB antibodies or bacteria
* Sputum or fluid samples for culture and staining
**Treatment for Disseminated Tuberculosis**
* Long-term antibiotic therapy (usually four anti-tuberculosis drugs for 9-12 months or more)
* Hospitalization and isolation in severe cases
* Close monitoring and follow-up to ensure effective treatment and prevent complications
**Risk Factors for Disseminated Tuberculosis**
* Immunocompromised individuals
* Diabetes
* Chronic kidney disease
* End-stage liver disease
* Diabetes
* HIV/AIDS
* Recent immigrants from TB-endemic countries
**Complications of Disseminated Tuberculosis**
* Lung damage
* Liver damage
* Kidney damage
* Bone and joint infections
* Meningitis (inflammation of the brain and spinal cord membranes)
* Death
**Prevention of Disseminated Tuberculosis**
* Prompt and effective treatment of primary TB infection
* Immunization with the Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine in high-risk areas
**Other Relevant Keywords:**
* Tuberculosis
* Miliary tuberculosis
* Systemic tuberculosis
* Mycobacterium tuberculosis
* Immunosuppression
* Anti-tuberculosis drugs

Disseminated tuberculosis (also called miliary tuberculosis) is a rare but serious form of tuberculosis (TB) that occurs when the bacteria that cause TB spread through the bloodstream and affect other parts of the body.
