  • Title: Miliary tuberculosis presenting as adult respiratory distress syndrome.
    Author: Lintin SN, Isaac PA.
    Journal: Intensive Care Med; 1988; 14(6):672-4. PubMed ID: 3183196.
    Abstract:
    We report the history of a 27-year-old Caucasian girl who died of adult respiratory distress syndrome secondary to miliary tuberculosis (MTB), after treatment with antibiotics to which the organism was sensitive, and a long period of ventilation. This case emphasises the importance of considering MTB as the cause of respiratory failure when another aetiology is not apparent.
