[Bone marrow biopsy in the diagnosis of hematopoietic tuberculosis]
Abstract:
The authors report 6 cases of tuberculosis of the bone marrow, in which the diagnosis was made by biopsy. Three of these cases, included peripheral blood abnormalities, such as pancytopenia, whereas in the three other, nothing special was found on routine blood examination. All the patients, except one who died from intercurrent infection, became cured thanks to anti-tuberculosis treatment. Marrow biopsy thus permits early diagnosis, miliary tuberculosis, even when usual radiological and bacteriological investigations are negative.

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...

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...
