title: [Radiology in tuberculosis].
abstract: The radiological manifestations of pulmonary tuberculosis such as primary and secondary tuberculosis, micronodular tuberculosis and tuberculous pneumonia as well as postinfectious residual scarring, are described. Simultaneously the radiology of the extrapulmonary manifestations of tuberculosis such as tuberculous pleurisy, spondylitis, different forms of abdominal tuberculosis and renal tuberculosis is discussed. Pathophysiological mechanisms are used to classify the different manifestations of tuberculosis, to explain the localizations typical of pulmonary tuberculosis as well as of extrapulmonary tuberculosis and finally to specify the most important differential diagnoses.
