[Tuberculin diagnosis and its significance in massive BCG re-vaccination]
Abstract:
The diagnosis of primary tuberculosis contamination becomes difficult and the effectiveness of tuberculin diagnosis drastically declines under conditions of mass vaccination and threefold revaccination of children. Study of the influence of different intervals between BCG revaccination on the nature of tuberculin sensitivity was carried out in order to improve the preventive measures in children and adolescents. An increase in revaccination intervals was found to contribute to a more precise detection of primary tuberculosis contamination and larger (more than four times) BCG coverage of adolescents.

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...

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...
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...
