[Free-radical processes in the pulmonary macrophages of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis]
Abstract:
Free radical processes in the alveolar and interstitial macrophages were compared for patients with different forms of tuberculosis, chronic nonspecific pulmonary diseases and cancer of the lungs. Alveolar macrophages were found to have more active free radical processes than interstitial macrophages. Chronic transformation of pulmonary tuberculosis results in activation of free radical processes in pulmonary macrophages. Differences in the value of alveolar macrophages chemiluminescence maximum and time of its appearance may facilitate differential diagnosis between tuberculosis, chronic nonspecific pulmonary diseases and cancer of the lungs.

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.

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...

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...
