Tuberculous pleurisy, confirmed bacteriologically and histologically - what does this mean

Tuberculous pleurisy is a type of lung infection caused by the bacterium mycobacterium tuberculosis. it typically begins with the inhalation of airborne droplets containing the bacteria, which then multiply and spread to the pleural tissue, causing inflammation and an accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity. the diagnosis of tuberculous pleurisy is confirmed bacteriologically and histologically through the identification of acid-fast bacilli in a sample of pleural fluid or tissue.

What happens during the disease - tuberculous pleurisy, confirmed bacteriologically and histologically

Tuberculous pleurisy is caused by the inhalation of mycobacterium tuberculosis, which then replicates in the lungs and can spread to the pleural space, leading to an inflammatory response and the accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity. this can cause pain and difficulty breathing, and in severe cases can lead to pleural effusion and respiratory failure.
