Abstract

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is responsible for most cases of tuberculosis; the reservoir of infection is the human being with active tuberculosis. It is estimated that tuberculosis affects 1,7 thousand million of individuals worldwide, with eight to 10 million new cases and 1,6 million deaths each year. Certain pathological conditions increase the risk: diabetes mellitus, Hodgkin's lymphoma, chronic lung disease, chronic renal failure, malnutrition, alcoholism and immunosuppression. Infection is the presence of organisms that may or may not cause clinically significant disease. Systemic miliary tuberculosis occurs when the bacteria spread through the systemic arterial system; it is most prominent in the liver, bone marrow, spleen, adrenal, meninges, kidneys, fallopian tubes, ovaries and epididymis, seeded through the blood and it can be the initial manifestation.
