Acute toxemia can cause acute renal failure and acute heart failure.

True

Pyemia is a condition in which multiple large abscesses form in various organs as a result of impaction of septic emboli.

Study Notes

Tuberculosis Infection and Tubercle Formation

Tubercles are formed by chronic inflammatory cells, central caseous necrosis, active macrophages-epithelioid cells, outer layer of lymphocytes and fibroblasts, and Langhans giant cells.
Primary tuberculosis infection is caused by inhalation of mycobacterium and results in the formation of caseous granuloma and primary complex (Ghon's complex).
The primary complex consists of a pulmonary component (Ghon's focus), lymphatic component, and lymph node component.
The pulmonary component is a sub-pleural lesion in the lower segment and middle lobes of the lung that shows tuberculous granuloma with caseous necrosis.
The lymphatic component contains phagocytes with M tuberculosis bacilli, while the lymph node component consists of enlarged hilar and tracheo-bronchial lymph nodes that show tuberculous granulomas, caseation necrosis, and fibrosis.
Fate of primary complex includes fibrosis and calcifications, progressive primary tuberculosis pneumonia, and pleural effusion.
Intestinal primary infection results in a similar primary complex to that of the lungs, with the commonest location for the primary lesion being the illocaecal region with local mesenteric node involvement.
Tuberculous lymphadenitis is the most common type of extrapulmonary tuberculosis that frequently involves the cervical groups of lymph nodes with enlargement, periadenitis, matting, and eventual ulcerations if left untreated.
Secondary tuberculosis infection occurs in an individual who has been previously infected or sensitized and can be acquired from various sources.
Tuberculosis infection can affect the skin in various forms.
Tubercle formation involves neutrophils and macrophages engulfing bacilli, macrophages dying and liberating bacilli, and other macrophages retaking the bacilli.
Tubercle formation also involves the activation and transformation of macrophages to epitheloid cells, fusion of epitheloid cells, and formation of Langhan's giant cells with a horse shoe arrangement of nuclei.
