title: [Lower lung field tuberculosis].
abstract: 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.
