Questions and Answers
What is the primary response of the body when it comes into contact with a virulent strain of MBT?
What is the primary response of the body when it comes into contact with a virulent strain of MBT?
The body is sensitized to the pathogen and the reaction of cellular anti-tuberculosis immunity is formed.
What is the role of sensitization in the development of cellular anti-tuberculosis immunity?
What is the role of sensitization in the development of cellular anti-tuberculosis immunity?
Sensitization allows the body to recognize and respond to the pathogen, leading to the formation of cellular anti-tuberculosis immunity.
What is the significance of cellular anti-tuberculosis immunity in protecting against tuberculosis?
What is the significance of cellular anti-tuberculosis immunity in protecting against tuberculosis?
Cellular anti-tuberculosis immunity provides protection against tuberculosis by mounting a specific response to the pathogen and preventing infection.
What is the consequence of the body's failure to form a reaction of cellular anti-tuberculosis immunity when exposed to a virulent strain of MBT?
