Alternative Diagnoses in Patients About to Start Empiric Tuberculosis Treatment

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This study is being conducted to determine whether in patients who are diagnosed with tuberculosis on a clinical basis (where tuberculosis is not found in the sputum) might have other lung diseases than tuberculosis. Depending on the precise nature of your complaints, additional investigations shall be requested by the study investigators. Possible additional investigations will include laboratory tests on samples of your blood, an additional chest X-ray, lung function testing (where you will have to blow air into a machine, so that your lung capacity is registered), CT-scan, and bronchoscopy. The information obtained through the investigations done in this study will help in the management of your illness and other patients who are diagnosed with tuberculosis on a clinical basis.
