[Repeated pneumonectomy in recurrence of pulmonary tuberculosis]
Abstract:
The analysis of the outcomes of a surgical treatment of recurrent tuberculosis in the operated lung is presented. With disseminated forms of the pulmonary lesions complicated by empyema, surgical removal of the portion remained after the primary resection is indicated. A complex of measures improving the treatment efficacy, decreasing a surgical risk and providing a favourable outcome in 90% of the operated patients is given. The indications for such repeated operations, such as final pneumonectomy, are substantiated.

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...
