Abstract:
Pulmonary tuberculosis is associated with long-term complications that affect both the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. We present the case of a 65-year-old male patient who presented with chief complaints of productive cough and breathlessness for the last four years. Further radiological investigations revealed a left-sided destroyed lung with left lung collapse and deviation of the mediastinum towards the left side. The patient responded well to treatment with broad-spectrum antimicrobial drugs and mucolytics.

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...
Pulmonary Tuberculosis III
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:
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.
