[The prevalence and course of arterial hypertension in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis]
Abstract:
The specific features of essential arterial hypertension (AH) were studied in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis (PT) and in those with residual changes (RC) after prior PT. The prevalence of AH was defined in patients with PT in relation to age, gender, and clinical form of a tuberculous process. The study indicated that the prevalence of AH among patients with an active tuberculous process was less than in the general population and it amounted to 18.2%. It was more common in males aged less than 60 years and in females aged above 60 years. The prevalence of AH in fibrocavernous tuberculosis was less than that in other forms, which was associated with the impact of intoxication on blood vessels. The patients with RC after prior PT had more frequently AH than those with an active tuberculous process, as well as target organ changes and a severer course of AH.

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.
