ABSTRACT

La neumonía por tuberculosis es un diagnóstico difícil de hacer, dado que no es considerado un germen común y su presentación clínica suele ser más subaguda o crónica, no obstante en el trabajo realizado por Vélez et al, en la ciudad de Medellín, se encontró que hasta 2.9% de las neumonías estudiadas fueron por tuberculosis, lo cual no es un porcentaje despreciable. A continuación presentamos dos casos de neumonía por tuberculosis de difícil diagnóstico, llamativos dada la evolución y presentación inusual y con los cuales queremos nuevamente llamar la atención como diagnóstico diferencial en pacientes que no responden al tratamiento de neumonía. (Acta Med Colomb 2016; 41: 62-66).


Tuberculosis pneumonia is difficult to diagnose, since it is not considered a common germ and its clinical presentation is often more subacute or chronic; however, in the work of Vélez et al. in the city of Medellin, it was found that up to 2.9% of pneumonias studied were caused by tuberculosis which is not a negligible percentage. Two cases of tuberculosis pneumonia difficult to diagnose are presented, which are striking given the evolution and unusual presentation and with which we again call attention as a differential diagnosis in patients who do not respond to treatment of pneumonia. (Acta Med Colomb 2016; 41: 62-66).
