Abstract:
In our study, we observed that (1) High RCIA were discovered in these two groups. (2) In the group of pulmonary tuberculosis, the C3b receptor activities remained no change after antituberculous therapy, but the amounts of immune complexes bearing on RBC decreased. In the patients with the high RCIA, CIC was discharged rapidly and the lesions of tissue produced by CIC were prevented. In the patients with silicotuberculosis, both silica and tuberculous bacilli may act as immune adjuvant and enhance the hypersensitivity. So the C3b receptor activities were higher in silicotuberculosis patients.

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.
