Primary respiratory tuberculosis, confirmed bacteriologically and histologically - what does this mean

Primary respiratory tuberculosis is a contagious infection caused by the mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria, which is spread through inhalation of airborne droplets from an infected person. it is confirmed bacteriologically and histologically through laboratory tests that identify the presence of the bacteria and confirm the diagnosis.

What happens during the disease - primary respiratory tuberculosis, confirmed bacteriologically and histologically

Primary respiratory tuberculosis is caused by the inhalation of airborne droplets containing the bacteria mycobacterium tuberculosis. once inhaled, the bacteria attach to the alveolar walls of the lungs and begin to multiply. the body's immune system responds to the infection by producing an inflammatory response, which can cause the formation of granulomas in the lungs. this can lead to further inflammation, tissue destruction, and the development of cavities in the lungs.
