High-resolution computed tomography identified tree-in-bud appearance and lymphadenopathy in active pulmonary TB cases, supporting early diagnosis.
In 72 active TB patients, 63.9% had Mycobacterium tuberculosis confirmed via AFB staining, while 36.1% used GeneXpert for diagnosis.
Data were analyzed using a case-control approach, focusing on HRCT findings for diagnosis and confirming pulmonary tuberculosis.
These findings highlight the potential role of HRCT in treating suspected TB patients when microbiological results are inconclusive.
