Sequelae of tuberculosis - what does this mean

Tuberculosis (tb) is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria mycobacterium tuberculosis. sequelae of tb refer to the long-term effects of the disease and can include damage to the lungs, heart, and other organs. in some cases, this damage can cause permanent disability or death.

What happens during the disease - sequelae of tuberculosis

The pathogenesis of sequelae of tuberculosis is a complex process that involves a combination of immunologic, inflammatory, and tissue-destructive events. the primary infection of mycobacterium tuberculosis leads to an immune response and the formation of granulomas. these granulomas can disrupt normal tissue architecture and cause tissue destruction, leading to the formation of cavities and fibrosis. the combination of cavitation and fibrosis can lead to the formation of sequelae such as bronchiectasis, pleural effusion, and fibrosis of the lungs.

Sequelae of tuberculosis - Prevention

The best way to prevent the sequelae of tuberculosis is to ensure that all individuals who are at risk are properly diagnosed and treated with the full course of the recommended medication. vaccination with the bcg vaccine can also help to reduce the risk of developing tb and its sequelae. additionally, promoting good hygiene practices such as frequent hand washing and avoiding close contact with people who have active tb can help to reduce the risk of transmission.
