* Can then proliferate and create an infection
77
What happens in Primary TB?
* Asymptomatic 3 weeks after infection cell mediated immunity kicks in and a granuloma forms to wall of the bacteria
* Causes caseous necrosis (cheese like) this is a Ghon Focus
* Can travel to lymph nodes and cause caseous there too- Ghon complex in lower lobes Fibrosis and calcification then occurs TB can be killed off by the immune system or dormant and then cause post primary tuberculosis
78
What happens in Post Primary TB?
* Ghon complex reactivated due to age or immunodeficiency
* Spreads to upper lobes due to oxygenation being greatest in these areas
* Memory T cell release cytokines to try and control outbreak making more areas of caseous necrosis then form cavities
* This will then form cavities which means TB can spread throughout lungs causing bronchopneumonia
* May also spread through vascular system- miliary TB
79
