肺癌患者经常被误诊为肺结核，导致正确诊断的延迟以及接受不适当的药物治疗。造成发展中国家这种情况的因素有很多，包括缺乏认识、基础设施不足和社会经济因素。本文概述了这两种疾病之间的差异以及使临床医生尽早怀疑正确诊断的特征。
Patients with lung cancer are often misdiagnosed as pulmonary tuberculosis leading to delay in the correct diagnosis as well as exposure to inappropriate medication. Several factors are responsible for this situation in developing countries, including lack of awareness, inadequate infrastructure and socio-economic factors. This article outlines the differences between the two diseases as well as features that would make a clinician suspect the right diagnosis early.
