[Initial and minor symptoms of tuberculosis in children]
Abstract:
The authors studied the diagnosis of initial and minor tuberculous manifestations in risk-group children using conventional and compementary methods. The latter comprised aspirin and blood chemiluminescence (CL) tests. The aspirin test rejected the infection as a cause of fever in 11.2% of the examinees. The addition to leukocytes of M. tuberculosis (BCG and staphylococcus strains) induced an intensive CL response to BCG mycobacteria observed in minor tuberculosis, whereas infected subjects with associated diseases displayed enhanced CL in response to staphylococcus.

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