Their median age was 52 years and 38 (50%) were males; 18 patients (24%) had a previous or current malignancy and five (7%) had a history of TB. The most common diagnoses of miliary nodules were miliary TB (41 patients, 54%) and miliary metastasis of malignancies (20 patients, 26%). Multivariate analysis revealed that age \u226430 years, HIV infection, corticosteroid use, bronchogenic spread of lesions, and ground-glass opacities occupying &gt;25% of total lung volume increased the probability of miliary TB. However, a history of malignancy decreased the probability of miliary TB.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Miliary TB accounted for approximately half of all causes of miliary pulmonary nodules.
