pulmonary tuberculosis 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 pulmonary tuberculosis, which is: 1. parenchymal subpleural lesion pulmonary tuberculosis, 2. enlarged caseous lymph nodes draining parenchyma. At this point pulmonary tuberculosis, 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 pulmonary tuberculosis, <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.
