Subclinical Tuberculosis Diagnosis in Lusaka, Zambia: A Case Report.

Identifying subclinical tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant challenge due to the absence of typical symptoms, the lack of diagnostic tests to distinguish disease states along the TB clinical spectrum, and the inability of plain radiography to pick up subtle changes associated with it. In this paper, we present two instances of subclinical TB identified in a high TB burden setting, highlighting the difficulties in diagnosis, challenges in treatment adherence and completion, and the risk of transmission.
