Miliary tuberculosis is a severe and disseminated form of tuberculosis (TB), a condition arising from Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Miliary TB occurs when the bacteria spread through the bloodstream, affecting multiple organs throughout the body. The term “miliary” is derived from the Latin word “miliarius,” meaning resembling millet seeds, describing the characteristic appearance of the tiny tubercular lesions in affected organs.Miliary TB presentations can be complex. Consequently, diagnosis and treatment are challenging. Understanding the tubercular disease process can guide management strategies and improve outcomes.This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to improve learners’ competence in evaluating and managing miliary TB. Valuable insights will be gained that will enable learners to collaborate effectively with an interprofessional team caring for patients with this condition.
