Abstract

The article highlights the most pressing issues of differential diagnosis of infiltrative tuberculosis, community-acquired pneumonia and pulmonary adenocarcinoma with creeping cancer (bronchoalveolar cancer) in adults. Although pulmonary infiltrate syndrome can occur with a large number of diseases, primary care physicians are primarily involved in differential diagnosis of these three diseases. Hypodiagnosis of oncological diseases of the lungs, exogenous allergic alveolitis, sarcoidosis is observed. Primary care physicians often have difficulties in diagnosing and differential diagnosis of diseases with pulmonary infiltrate, errors occur primarily due to the non-specificity of clinical symptoms and radiological changes. It is necessary to increase the level of knowledge of doctors in assessing risk factors, clinical manifestations, and the results of instrumental and laboratory research methods. Especially important is the timely referral of patients by primary care physicians for consultations with an oncologist, TB specialist, pulmonologist.
