  • Title: Miliary tuberculosis: sonographic pattern in chest ultrasound.
    Author: Hunter L, Bélard S, Janssen S, van Hoving DJ, Heller T.
    Journal: Infection; 2016 Apr; 44(2):243-6. PubMed ID: 26661658.
    Abstract:
    Miliary tuberculosis (TB) is characterized by a multitude of small nodular opacities on chest radiography. Despite ultrasound of the chest gaining wider acceptance as a diagnostic tool of lung infections, sonographic changes of pulmonary miliary TB have not yet been reported. Here, we describe B-lines and comet-tail artifacts disseminated throughout multiple lung areas and a pattern of sub-pleural granularity as consistent changes seen in lung ultrasound of ten patients with pulmonary miliary TB diagnosed by chest radiography.
