Anguage" content="en-us"> pulmonary TB Primary tuberculosis General Description In an overwhelming number of cases, tuberculous infections will begin in and affect the lungs. This condition is pulmonary tuberculosis. Pulmonary TB is also the major cause of TB-related morbidity and mortality. Incidence 3 of 10,000 people and increasing. Drug-resistant variants also are becoming more of a problem. Clinical Signs 20% asymptomatic Symptoms: Productive cough Hemoptysis Fever Night sweats Anorexia Weight loss May also see signs of associated extrapulmonary tuberculosis Pathophysiology Primary infection usually begins in the lungs. Initial focus is the Ghon complex, which is: 1. parenchymal subpleural lesion, 2. enlarged caseous lymph nodes draining parenchyma. At this point, patient is asymptomatic. Secondary pulmonary TB lesion located at APEX of both lungs. Begins as "reactivation" of primary TB. (granulomatous inflammation is unable to eliminate the organism) Begins as small focus of consolidation, <3cm diameter. Fibrous encapsulation ensues. Histopathology Necrotizing granulomas are prominent (Review the components of a granuloma) Giant cells of the Langerhans type are clearly visible (see last slide) Adjacent air spaces should be filled with blood.
