Abstract
Background: Tuberculosis (TB), an ancient infectious disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis, still remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in our modern world, causing ∼1.3 million deaths worldwide in 2017 alone. Because it disproportionately impacts the developing world, the unique manifestations of TB may be less encountered and therefore less known to many physicians in developed countries.
