Abstract:
The influence of tuberculosis and chemotherapy of tuberculosis on the immunologic investigations was proved on 136 patients with tuberculosis and some cases with sarcoidosis, over a period of several months. The immunologic investigations should contribute towards the differential diagnosis of tuberculosis. A general control group was established and also followed up for several months. The diagnostic value of the immunologic investigations seems of little importance for the tuberculosis, the chemo-therapy of tuberculosis does not influence the immunologic situation. The relative frequent appearance of antibodies against cell nuclei and the plain muscles shows that in clinically similar cases we must be careful with the diagnosis of collagen diseases or lupus erythematodes.

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.

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...
