Anatomy
Risk factors
Close contact
Immigration from endemic area
Children less than 5 years
Diabetes
Malnourished people
Stages
Primary
Mostly asymptomatic, some have flu-like symptoms
Cell mediated immunity (3 weeks)
Ghon complex (gown focus + lymph node)
Secondary
Reactivation of dormant TB
Systemic military TB
Kidneys (sterile pyuria, WBC in the urine)
Meningitis

Addison's disease (adrenal glands)
Hepatits (liver)
Lymphadenitis in the neck (scrofula)
Radiology
Tree in a bud
Treatment and management
4 drugs for 2 months, 2 drugs for 4 months
Rifampin (inhibits RNA synthesis)
Isoniazid (inhibits cell wall synthesis
Pyrazinamide (unclear exact target)
Ethambutol (inhibits cell wall synthesis
Optic neuropathy as an adverse effect
Prognosis
patients with treated TB can expect to do well with minimal or no sequele
Poor : in anemic states, smokers, late presentation of the disease
Signs&symptoms
Cough
Mechanism
Stimulation of mechano-or chemoreceptors
Afferent impulses to cough center (medulla)
Efferent impulses via vagus, phrenic, intercostal nerves
Increased contraction of muscles --> noisy expiration (cough)
Types
Productive
presence of excessive sputum, expectorants are useful
Sputum color
Mucoid (clear and white)
normally of little consequence and suggest that no infection is there
Yellow, green or brown
indicates infection, probably caused by a bacterial infection, such as bronchitis or pneumonia
Hemoptysis
Blood in the sputum, rusted (pneumonia), pink but thin and frothy (LVF), dark red (carcinoma)
Non-productive
serving no useful purpose, increased discomfort to the patient
Clubbing
Other Causes
Cyanotic heart diseases
Cystic fibrosis
Lung cancer
Ulcerative colitis
Lung abscess
