Abstract

SILVA, José Roberto et al. Lower lung field tuberculosis. Rev Port Pneumol [online]. 2009, vol.15, n.1, pp.89-92. ISSN 0873-2159.

Lower lung lobe tuberculosis is less common than the classical radiological forms of pulmonary tuberculosis. However this radiological presentation has a particular relevance in patients with some associated pathological conditions, such as diabetes mellitus, HIV infection and chronic alcoholism. We make a review of this entity in reference to an illustrative clinical case.

Keywords : Tuberculosis; pulmonary tuberculosis; lower lung field tuberculosis.
