[Respiratory tuberculosis and effectiveness of its treatment in some high-risk groups]
Abstract:
Comparative study of respiratory tuberculosis morbidity in 3 risk groups revealed its highest rates suggesting its epidemic in prisoners. There were its quite high incidence rates in pregnant and postpartum women. It was low in medical staff though it was greater than in the region's general population. Poor clinical patterns were found in former prisoners, homeless persons, and in females during gestation, and in postpartum period in particular. The outcomes of treatment were the best in medical staff. They were the worst in socially disoriented groups. Former prisoners and homeless persons had a high risk of ineffective treatment.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.

Here is a detailed explanation of its pathophysiology:
Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...
