Diagnosis can be challenging due to the non-specific nature of the symptoms. Key diagnostic tools include:
Chest X-ray or CT scan showing the characteristic "miliary" pattern Blood tests such as the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) or Interferon-Gamma Release Assays (IGRAs) Sputum culture and staining for acid-fast bacilli Biopsy of affected tissues Ultrasound or MRI for organ involvement
