Abstract:
This study was undertaken to evaluate clinical and laboratory parameters of 29 HIV-infected male patients with tuberculosis. Out of the 243 human immune deficiency virus (HIV) seropositive patients, 15 (6.2%) were diagnosed to be suffering from tuberculosis whereas out of 3502 cases of tuberculosis random HIV surveillance in 350 cases showed HIV infection in 14 (4%). Mantoux positivity at the time of diagnosis of tuberculosis was noted in 16 (55.1%) patients, and out of them 17.1% showed tuberculin conversion within 2 years of detection of HIV infection. Diagnosis of tuberculosis was based on demonstration of acid fast bacilli in sputum of 8 (27.6%), and in lymphnode aspirate in 4 (13.8%). Tubercular granuloma was demonstrated in 3 more patients, 2 in lymphnodes and one in liver parenchyma. In another 14 cases, there was classical clinical presentation and chest radiogram findings with excellent therapeutic response. Chest radiograms showed pulmonary infiltrate in 20, pleural effusion in 5, pleural thickening in 2, and intrathoracic adenopathy in 6 patients. Exclusive extrapulmonary tuberculosis was present in 4 patients.

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.

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...

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...
