Description

Asthmatic tuberculosis is a form of tuberculosis that can lead to asthma-like symptoms due to the inflammatory response in the lungs. It is characterized by respiratory issues that can complicate the management of both conditions.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that patients may refer to this condition using terms that are not clinically precise, such as 'tuberculosis asmática' or simply 'asma'. It is crucial to maintain the use of the glossary term in formal medical contexts to avoid confusion.

Example Sentences

Common Interpreter Mistakes
