Abstract
Disseminated tuberculosis (TB) poses a significant challenge in
diagnosis and management, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. This
case study presents a 45-year-old immunocompromised female patient with no
prior TB history, exhibiting constitutional symptoms, chest wall lesion, and
lymphadenopathy. Diagnostic evaluations confirmed disseminated TB with
multisystem involvement, exacerbated by concurrent hepatitis B infection.
Treatment involved a tailored multidrug regimen, emphasizing the importance of
prompt diagnosis and comprehensive care in such cases. This study underscores
the complexities of disseminated TB and highlights the need for heightened
awareness, early detection, and multidisciplinary management to optimize
outcomes, especially in vulnerable populations. Efforts toward TB prevention,
improved diagnostics, and enhanced healthcare infrastructure are essential to
address the global TB burden effectively.
