[Tuberculous hilar lymphadenopathy: a survey of recent cases]
Abstract:
Forty-eight cases of tuberculous hilar lymphadenopathy were studied. Patient's population and their clinical manifestations, especially the modes of onset of the disease were found to be different from those of the previous surveys. Age distribution of cases shifted from younger to elderly groups. Roentgenologically, the cases of typical primary complex has been declining, while the atypical patterns such as solitary mediastinal lymphadenopathy or those associated with healed pulmonary lesions have increased. Since the introduction of RFP to treatment for tuberculosis, the cases diagnosed incidentally because of early exacerbation has been increasing. Ten out of total 48 cases were presumed not being originated from the primary complex, but from reactivation. Relative increase of such cases may partly explain the recent shift of hilar lymphadenopathy to elderly group.

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.

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...

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...
