[Infiltrative tuberculosis and lung cancer]
Abstract:
Concomitance of infiltrative tuberculosis and lung cancer cannot be considered to be rare and sporadic. Thirty-seven patients with concomitance of these two diseases were followed up at the phthisiosurgical department of the Kostroma regional tuberculosis dispensary in 1979 to August 2005. Uni- and bilateral tuberculosis affliction occurred in 14 and 23 patients, respectively. Thirty-four cases developed cancer in the lung that exhibited tuberculous changes. In this group of patients, the central form of cancer prevailed over the peripheral one (33 versus 4 patients). Stages I, II, III, and IV cancer were established in 1, 3, 22, and 11 patients, respectively. Eleven patients were operated on.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis II
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...
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.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis IV
Several diagnostic approaches are used to detect TB. The conventional method is the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), also known as the Mantoux test. However, this method has...
