Description

Tuberculosis of lung, bacteriologically or histologically negative refers to a clinical diagnosis where the presence of tuberculosis bacteria cannot be confirmed through laboratory tests. This condition may still present symptoms consistent with tuberculosis, necessitating careful clinical evaluation.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that this term may be confused with other forms of tuberculosis, particularly those that are bacteriologically or histologically positive. It is essential to maintain a formal register and avoid colloquial terms. Variants like 'tuberculosis negativa' may be heard but should be avoided in formal contexts.

Example Sentences

Common Interpreter Mistakes
