Infectious and parasitic diseases

Diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis

Radiological diagnosis of osteo-articular tuberculosis is aimed at identifying the primary bone foci of specific inflammation - isolated or within the contact destruction zone of the articulated bones, be it vertebrae, the articular ends of the tubular or articular surfaces of the flat bones.

Instrumental diagnosis of tuberculosis

Despite the abundance of diverse methods of patient research, timely diagnosis of respiratory tuberculosis remains a difficult clinical problem. Errors in the recognition of tuberculosis and other, even the most common diseases of the respiratory system are the same and characteristic.

Symptoms of tuberculosis

Clinical symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis are manifold, but have no specific signs of disease. This is especially important in modern conditions characterized by unfavorable environmental conditions, frequent use of various vaccines, serums and antibiotics, as well as changes in the properties of the causative agent of tuberculosis.

Laboratory diagnosis of tuberculosis

Tuberculosis is a disease that is easy to diagnose in modern conditions and scientific achievements. Laboratory diagnosis of tuberculosis is central to other diagnostic methods, second only to X-ray methods of research.

Epidemiology of tuberculosis

Epidemiology of tuberculosis is a section of phthisiology examining sources of tuberculosis infection, transmission routes of infection, the prevalence of tuberculosis as an infectious disease among the population, unfavorable exo- and endogenous factors affecting the epidemic process, and the most endangered people with tuberculosis.

Pathogenesis of tuberculosis

The development of tubercular inflammation depends on the reactivity of the body and the state of its protective forces, the virulence of mycobacteria tuberculosis and the duration of their persistence in the lungs. The action of various factors of the infectious process can explain a wide variety of tissue and cellular responses of the respiratory department, where specific changes are combined with nonspecific changes that somehow affect the manifestation and outcome of the main process.

Causes of tuberculosis

The group of obligate parasites is insignificant, however its practical significance is great and is determined by species causing tuberculosis in humans and animals. There is an opinion that the ancestors of human pathogenic mycobacteria were ancient soil mycobacteria.

Tuberculosis: an overview of information

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease with a long period between infection (infection) and the development of the disease. After contact of a person with a bacteriovirus or contaminated material, there is a possibility of infection of a healthy person, which depends on the properties of the pathogen, as well as on the susceptibility of the human body.

Influenza sore throat

Influenza angina is a mandatory manifestation of influenza infection, but in some cases it develops against its background or manifests itself primarily, simulating banal pharyngitis or tonsillitis.

Pint

Pinta is a kind of tropical treponematosis of Latin American countries. In addition to Central countries, the disease is also found in Africa (Algeria, Egypt) and Asia (India, Philippines). In countries with a cold and temperate climate, no pint occurs.
