[Treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis in patients with drug dependence]
Abstract:
A total of 926 patients with respiratory tuberculosis were treated at the territorial tuberculosis dispensary. Drug dependence was identified in 34 (3.7%) patients with a staff narcologist. Bilateral pulmonary tuberculosis was found in 71.5%; 80% of the patients were bacterial isolating carriers. None of the patients experienced adequate in and outpatient treatments. As a result of treatment, 8 (27.2%) patients ceased to isolate Mycobacterium tuberculosis and decay cavity closed in 1 (3.4%) patient.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis V
Latent tuberculosis infection occurs when TB bacteria are present in a person's body, but are not causing illness or symptoms. It is not contagious, and preventive treatment is crucial to avoid the progression...
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...
