[Effects of inactivated influenza vaccine on postvaccination immunity against tuberculosis]
Abstract:
The importance of inactivated influenza virus vaccines (IIVV) as a risk factor leading to a change of immunologic reactivity in persons earlier revaccinated with BCG once, twice or thrice was studied. The condition of T system was investigated by blast-transformation reaction with PPD-L and PHA in 1 and 3 months after administration of different types of IIVV. If all types of IIVV are administered, there is an inhibition of a specific activity of T cells with a certain stimulation of their nonspecific functions. The intensity of IIVV impact depends on the type, number, and duration of prior BCG vaccinations, as well as the initial condition of T-link.

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...
