Popis: | Miliary tuberculosis (TB) can occasionally lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). In this case report, we present the case of an 18-year-old male who was diagnosed with miliary TB based on miliary shadows on X-ray and computed tomography of the chest, as well as positivity for mycobacterium TB in endotracheal aspirate by cartridge-based nucleic acid amplification. The patient’s hospital stay was complicated by ARDS and DIC, which was successfully managed with ventilatory support, administration of antitubercular treatment, systemic corticosteroids, and blood products. |
