Description

Tuberculosis of lung, without mention of bacteriological or histological confirmation refers to a clinical diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis based on symptoms and imaging, without laboratory confirmation. This diagnosis may be made in cases where the patient presents with typical symptoms but does not have confirmatory tests available.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that this term may be used in contexts where definitive laboratory results are not yet available. It is crucial to maintain a formal register and avoid colloquial terms. Common variants may include 'tuberculosis pulmonar' or 'tuberculosis sin confirmación', but it is recommended to stick to the glossary term in formal contexts.
