Abstract

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of multislice spiral CT in the diagnosis of atypical pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods The clinical data of 80 patients with atypical pulmonary tuberculosis admitted to our hospital from June 2014 to June 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into CT diagnosis group and pathological diagnosis group according to the different diagnostic methods, and compared the difference of clinical diagnosis rate between the two groups. Results The diagnosis rate of the pathological group was 95% significantly higher than that of the patients in group CT (P<0.05), the difference between the two groups was significant, with statistical value. Conclusion The diagnosis of atypical pulmonary tuberculosis by multislice spiral CT can be used to improve the rate of diagnosis with other diagnostic methods and reduce the misdiagnostic rate.
