Tuberculosis of intrathoracic lymph nodes, confirmed bacteriologically and histologically - what does this mean
Tuberculosis of intrathoracic lymph nodes occurs when the bacteria mycobacterium tuberculosis spreads from the lungs to the lymph nodes in the chest cavity, causing the lymph nodes to become inflamed and enlarged. this condition is confirmed by laboratory tests such as bacteriological and histological examination.
What happens during the disease - tuberculosis of intrathoracic lymph nodes, confirmed bacteriologically and histologically
Tuberculosis of intrathoracic lymph nodes is caused by the bacteria mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is usually spread through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks. the bacteria then enter the lungs and can spread to the lymph nodes in the chest. the lymph nodes become inflamed and swollen, leading to symptoms such as fever, night sweats, and a productive cough. bacteriologic and histologic tests can then be used to confirm the diagnosis.
