In the context of Tuberculosis (TB), PTE stands for Pulmonary Thromboembolism.
Pulmonary Thromboembolism (PTE) is a serious condition that can occur alongside Tuberculosis (TB), although it is relatively rare. It involves a blood clot that travels to the lungs and blocks a pulmonary artery. It's an acute condition with high mortality, which can be difficult to diagnose when co-existing with TB.
