A 3D Human Lung Tissue Model for Functional Studies on Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection
Published on: October 5, 2015
Abstract:
The analysis of treatment of 163 patients with primary forms of tuberculosis in the Southern Crimea sanatorium (1967-1987) is given. Along with the operation techniques used for a removal of the affected intrathoracic and peripheric lymph nodes, the details of the patients' preoperative management, occurred complications and their treatment as well as immediate outcomes of these efforts are illustrated. The analysis was made in accordance with forms of the disease, age distribution and types of intervention. During preoperative period and afterwards, the involvement of climatic factors favourably influenced the course of the postoperative stage. The management of patients with tuberculosis of the mesenteric lymph nodes is presented also.

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.
