Abstract:
Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) represents a rare subtype of extranodal lymphoma characterized by the proliferation of B-cells within the lumen of blood vessels. Pulmonary involvement occurs in approximately 60% of cases. Diagnosis of IVLBCL can be challenging as the clinical manifestations are usually nonspecific. We report a case of IVLBCL presenting with fever and dyspnea. CT scan revealed bilateral diffuse pulmonary ground-glass opacities with gravity-dependent distribution. The diagnosis was established through transbronchial lung biopsy. This case report aimed to heighten clinical awareness and sharpen diagnostic skills regarding pulmonary involvement in IVLBCL.

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 IV
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 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.

Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
