    Author: Kim HY, Im JG, Goo JM, Lee JK, Song JW, Kim SK.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 1999 Dec; 173(6):1639-42. PubMed ID: 10584813.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The purpose of our study was to describe radiologic manifestations of pulmonary tuberculosis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis was high in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Imaging of these patients showed miliary dissemination and patchy consolidation. However, cavitation was rare. These findings may reflect impaired immune response against tuberculous bacilli.
