[Conclusive pleuropulmonectomy in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis]
Abstract:
The results of performance of conclusive pleuropulmonectomy (CPPE) in 2004-2012 yrs in 16 patients, suffering multiresistant pulmonary tuberculosis are presented. In 75% patients during the first operation the atypical (using apparatuses) pulmonary resection was performed. CPPE was done for fibrous-cavernous tuberculosis in 11 (68.8%) patients, for cirrhotic tuberculosis - in 4 (25.0%), caseous pneumonia - in 1 (6.3%). Intraoperative complications rate was 12.5%. Early postoperative complications have had occurred in 5 (31.3%) patients, and the late - in 3 (18.8%). Total efficacy of CPPE have had constituted 81.3%.

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...
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...

Pneumonia IV: Management
Bacterial Pneumonia Treatment
For bacterial pneumonia, antibiotics serve as the cornerstone of therapy. Initial treatment often begins with empirical antibiotics, tailored to the anticipated causative organism and adjusted based on culture results. Key antibiotic choices include:
