| acute miliary tuberculosis | A rapidly fatal disease due to the general dissemination of tubercle bacilli in the blood, resulting in the formation of miliary tubercles in various organs and tissues, and producing symptoms of profound toxaemia. Synonym: acute miliary tuberculosis, disseminated tuberculosis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| miliary pattern | A chest radiographic pattern of fine, rounded opacities, typical of haematogenous dissemination of tuberculosis; size has some relationship to that of a millet seed. (05 Mar 2000) |
| miliary tb | <radiology> Haematogenous dissemination of TB to lungs, millet seeds: myriad small nodules, upper lobe predilection, may be chronic and progressive: nodules of varying size, Differential diagnosis: haematogenous metastasis (lower lobes), CXR findings not seen until 6+ weeks after dissemination, resolves more rapidly with Treatment than air-borne disease (12 Dec 1998) |
| miliary tuberculosis | Usually a chronic tuberculosis infection where spread of the original primary infection has occurred via the patients lymphatic system (or bloodstream). Disseminated disease occurs primarily in the immunocompromised individual (for example AIDS, cancer patient). The elderly are at increased risk for dissemination. In disseminated disease, organs and tissues that can be affected include pericardium, peritoneum, larynx, bronchus, bone, joints, lymph nodes, stomach, meninges, eyes, kidneys and skin. Treatment is with INH, rifampin, ethambutol and other antibiotics. (27 Sep 1997) |
| tuberculosis, miliary | An acute form of tuberculosis in which minute tubercles are formed in a number of organs of the body due to dissemination of the bacilli through the blood stream. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adhesive atelectasis | Alveolar collapse in the presence of patent airways, especially when surfactant is inactivated or absent, especially in respiratory distress syndrome of the newborn, acute radiation pneumonitis, or viral pneumonia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atelectasis | <chest medicine, radiology> A term used to describe partial or complete collapse of the lung, usually due to an obstruction of a bronchus (with mucus plug, infection or cancer). Atelectasis is commonly seen immediately in the post-operative period in those who have undergone general anaesthesia. Symptoms of atelectasis include low-grade fever, dry cough, chest pains and mild shortness of breath. Mild post-operative atelectasis is treated with deep breathing exercises and respiratory therapy. Atelectasis secondary to carcinoma will often be managed using bronchoscopy. (27 Sep 1997) |
| parenchymal atelectasis | The collapse that occurs when pulmonary air is absorbed and not replaced, thus reducing lung volume. (05 Mar 2000) |
