[Correction of immunologic deficiency in experimental tuberculosis and chronic effect of pesticides]
Abstract:
The paper deals with the findings of comparative morphologic and immunologic studies of immunomodulatory therapy for experimental tuberculosis on chronic exposure to pesticides (alpha-3) of 117 guinea pigs receiving decaris (levamisole), as an immunostimulator, and "mumiyo-acil", as a biostimulator. The specific features of every pathogenetic drug's effect on the tuberculous inflammation morphology, cellular-tissue reactions, cellular immune response and repair processes were defined. An optimum effect in the treatment of the pesticide-induced experimental tuberculosis can be achieved by the use of anti-bacterial drugs and "mumiyo-acil".

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 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 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...
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...
