Tuberculosis Primary –selflimiting Infection in patients previously not exposed to M tuberculosis (under age 5 in the past, now common in adults also) Postprimary-progressive Reactivation and reinfection
Chest X-ray is normal in TB in 50% 75% 15%
Manifestations of Primary TB are: Parenchymal disease Lymphadenopathy Miliary disease Pleural Effusion
Manifestations of Postprimary TB are: Upper lobe distribution Cavity Absence of adenopathy Airway involvement
Human disease causing mycobacteria are more likely: Slow growing Fast growing
Mycobacteria – aerobic rods Categories by disease cause: 1.tuberculosis complex: causes human disease 2.nontuberculous or atypical Categories by rate of growth: 1.rapid growing: < 7 days 2.slow growing:> 7 days Rapid: M.abscessus, M.fortiutum, M.chelonae Slow: MTB, MAC, M.Kansasii
Transmission Respiratory Desiccated bacilli remain airborne for long time – indoor close many months contact is necessary for transmission Laryngeal, transbronchial, cavitary disease produce most bacilli Ventillation reduces infectiousness

Pathogenesis TB bacilli in the body elicit acute inflammatory response – no symptoms Macrophages ingest bacilli and transport them to regional lymph nodes If not contained in local LNs, hematogenous dissemination of bacilli occurs and usually is contained, if not, then: miliary, meningeal, GU, MSK

Pleural Effusion TB
TB pleurisy Unilateral Exudative: high protein content, High WBC, low glucose Lymphocyte predominance Complications: B-P fistula, empyema 1/3 negative TB skin test

The History of Tuberculosis The Hebrew word for phthisis or consumption (schachepheth) means to waste away occurs twice in the Bible: Leviticus 26:16 I, in turn, will do this to you: I will appoint over you a sudden terror, consumption and fever that will waste away the eyes and cause the soul to pine away; also you will sow your seed uselessly, for your enemies will eat it up. Deuteronomy 28:22 The Lord will smite you with consumption and with fever and with inflammation and with fiery heat and with the sword and with blight and with mildew and they will pursue you until you perish.
The History of Tuberculosis By 1650 consumption was the leading cause of mortality and became a reference in some of Shakespeare's plays- one of the consumptive lovers, in "Much A Do About Nothing" , as well as scrofula in "Macbeth"
The History of Tuberculosis Early attempts at treatment can be found throughout history Greeks believed cutting off cool air eventuated in a burning up of the tissues Romans put importance of diet Hebrews control disease from diet to the destruction of clothing Early "cures" from physicians Warm sea air Milk from pregnant women Seaweed placed under the pillow Cold baths Deep breathing
The History of Tuberculosis The first breakthrough came when German bacteriologist named Robert Koch isolated the infectious agent known as tuberculosis bacteria or tubercle bacilli in 1882. He was later awarded the Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine in 1905
The History of Tuberculosis The first sanatorium opened in 1854 in Gorbersdorf, Germany. Sick patients were given wholesome food and plenty of fresh air. This became the modern way to fight the disease. The sanatoriums provided medical care for almost 100 years and became one of the most remarkable and unique periods of medical care in history. By 1889 in the USA the National Tuberculosis Association fully realized that TB was distinctly preventable and not directly inherited No real progress was made until new antibiotics were used between 1945-1960 It has taken almost three thousand years to understand the full nature of Tuberculosis
