The exact diagnosis criteria of ITB was established based on one or more ofthe following indications: (1) demonstration of caseating granuloma and acid-fast bacilli in histological sections; (2) radiological, and/or pathological evidence of active tuberculosis elsewhere and dramatic response to antituberculous treatment; and (3) strong suspicion of tuberculosis by both clinical and histological characteristics, together with a sensitive response to anti tuberculous treatment.
