Miliary tuberculosis is an uncommon pulmonary manifestation of tuberculosis. It represents hematogenous dissemination of uncontrolled tuberculous infection and carries a relatively poor prognosis. It is seen both in primary and post-primary tuberculosis and may be associated with tuberculous infection in numerous other tissues and organs.
