Hello there, I am a guy who is 32 years old. I know what tuberculosis is, but few days ago I heard something about primary tuberculosis. What is this exactly? I would like to hear something about this condition. Oh, and you don't have to rush because this is nothing urgent. I really appreciate every answer.
Hi there, I will help you out. This condition is tuberculosis which is caused by infection with tubercle bacilli. Formation of a primary complex is always present inside the lungs. It is important to know that this complex is made of a small peripheral pulmonary focus along with hilar or paratracheal lymph node involvement. It was always hard for me to remember all of this. But years of studying has paid off. Tuberculosis can affect many organs. Some of those organs are: lung, liver, spleen and even brain and bone.
