Abstract:
Pulmonary complications account for significant morbidity and mortality in patients following bone marrow transplants (BMT). They are distinct from other immunosuppressed patients in that there is a predictable course of immunosuppresion and therefore of likely pulmonary complications. This is important when interpreting abnormal radiology as the predictable time course will enable narrowing the differential diagnoses to certain pulmonary complications that characteristically occur at a particular time following BMT. Early recognition and correct treatment of the pulmonary complications should minimize the significant mortality and morbidity. This review aims to discuss the role of radiology in the diagnosis and management of pulmonary complications following BMT.

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.

The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-III: Symptoms and Complications.
Symptoms of COPD can be classified as primary or systemic. Primary symptoms relate to reduced airflow, while systemic or extrapulmonary symptoms relate to COPD's broader impact on the body.
