Exploration of High-Resolution CT Features of Patients with Secondary Pulmonary Tuberculosis Caused By Pulmonary Interstitial Lesions
Objective To explore high-resolution CT features of patients with secondary pulmonary tuberculosis caused by pulmonary interstitial lesions.Methods The paper chose 15 patients with secondary pulmonary tuberculosis with treatment of pulmonary interstitial disease or infection in our hospital from January 2018 to May 2023,including 10 males and 5 females.All cases with secondary pulmonary tuberculosis caused by pulmonary interstitial disease were detected by high-resolution CT.Results HRCT showed that the lesions of patients with secondary pulmonary tuberculosis were mostly located in the upper lobe of the lungs,involving 87 lung segments,with a higher proportion of lesions in the posterior apex of left and right upper lobes;In CT scans,the lesion appears as ground glass like shadows or fine mesh like shadows with clear boundaries.HRCT shows abnormal conditions in the interstitial space of pulmonary lobules,with a detection rate of 100%for fine nodules and fine mesh like shadows within lobules.Conclusion In HRCT examination,pulmonary interstitial lesions can be more clearly displayed,and the small lesions within the pulmonary lobules,the prone areas of lesions,and morphological characteristics can serve as a reliable basis for distinguishing this disease from other interstitial lung diseases.
