CT, computed tomography; TB, tuberculosis; DM, diabetes mellitus.

^aAtypical location was defined as basal segments of the lower lobes and/or anterior segment of the upper lobes and/or middle lobes, and was confined to the pulmonary parenchymal lesion, excluded TB pleurisy.

^bTB pleurisy without pulmonary parenchymal lesion.
