Latent
Post primary
Primary TB - what happens
inhale a bug
form a granuloma(Ghon focus) (can get nodal expansion)
if node calcifies called a Rnke Complex.
if node bursts then get endobronchial spread or miliary.
primary progressive TB
what happens
local progression WITH CAVITATION
what is latent TB
Positive PPD, negative CXR, no symptoms
post primary TB
what happens to cause
endogenous reactivation of latent TB
evidence of progression, ie cavity. Adjacent vessels can get aneurysms
how to treate immune reconstituition inflamatory syndrome
give steroids
when do people get pleural effusions with TB
3-6 months after primary infection.
need to biopsy as often culture negative
