About

This is a retrospective clinical study to analyze the clinical characteristics, complications, and effects of different treatment options on long-term prognosis of severe tuberculosis patients. All cases of severe tuberculosis diagnosed between 2016 and 2021 were included in the electronic medical record system of one center, and data such as demographics, hospitalization information, clinical information, laboratory or imaging examinations, treatment plans, and outcomes were collected.

Enrollment: 900 estimated patients

Sex: All

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
