About the Webinar
Atypical presentations of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) often mimic other respiratory or systemic conditions, making diagnosis challenging. Instead of the classic symptoms like persistent cough, fever, and weight loss, patients may present with non-specific signs such as unexplained fatigue, hemoptysis, or even isolated radiological findings. In elderly, immunocompromised, or diabetic patients, TB may appear as a non-resolving pneumonia or lung mass. These atypical forms can delay diagnosis and treatment, increasing the risk of disease progression and transmission. Clinicians must maintain a high index of suspicion, especially in endemic regions or at-risk populations.
