SAMPLE AND METHODS: A review was made of the medical record cards and chest X-rays of all patients attended between January 1996 and December 1998. Patients with a diagnosis of tuberculosis who presented intrathoracic manifestations of the disease and negative anti-HIV serology were selected. RESULTS: The selection included 153 patients, with an average age of 37.5 years, who were predominantly male (60.8%) and white (56.9%). Pulmonary lesions were present in 121 (79.9%) and extrapulmonary lesions in 32 (20.1%). Parenchymal-infiltrate lesions appeared in 56 patients (36.6%), cavity lesions in 55 (36.0%), pleural effusion in 28 (18.3%), isolated nodules in 6 (3.9%), mediastinal enlargement in 4 (2.6%) and miliary pattern in 4 (2.6%). Cavities were present in 45.5% of the patients with pulmonary lesions, generally in association with the parenchymal-infiltrate lesions. Parenchymal infiltrate was present in 86.8% of the patients with pulmonary lesions. There was significant presence of alcohol-acid resistant bacillus in the sputum of patients with cavities (76.4%), in comparison with those without cavities (50%) (p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS: Parenchymal-infiltrate lesions are the most frequent radiological manifestation of pulmonary tuberculosis, and they are generally associated with cavities. There is a relationship between the presence of acid fast bacilli in sputum and pulmonary cavity lesions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s0036-46652003000500007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,5,9]],"date-time":"2005-05-09T18:17:28Z","timestamp":1115662648000},"page":"275-281","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Pulmonary tuberculosis: relationship between sputum bacilloscopy and radiological lesions"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Mauro","family":"Gomes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Santa Casa de S\u00e3o Paulo, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roberto","family":"Saad Jr.","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Santa Casa de S\u00e3o Paulo, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roberto","family":"Stirbulov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Santa Casa de S\u00e3o Paulo, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Pneumologia: atualiza\u00e7\u00e3o e reciclagem","first-page":"234","volume-title":"Avan\u00e7os no diagn\u00f3stico da tuberculose","volume":"2","author":"AFIUNE J.B.","year":"1998"},{"key":"ref2","first-page":"37","article-title":"Diagn\u00f3stico da tuberculose pulmonar escarro negativo","volume":"19","author":"AFIUNE J.B.","year":"1998","journal-title":"J.
