    Study Notes

    Tuberculosis Manual for Medical Faculty Students

    • Document Type: Test questions and manual for 6th-year medical students.
    • Subject: Tuberculosis (TB)
    • Location: Kazan State Medical University, Russia
    • Date: 2017

    Chapter Summaries

    • History of TB: Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by M. tuberculosis primarily affecting the lungs. Early descriptions of TB's clinical manifestations and epidemiology were given by figures like Aristotle and Avicenna. The infectious nature of TB was first suggested by others. The term "tuberculosis" was coined by a specific individual. A renowned Russian surgeon, Pirogov, significantly contributed to understanding various aspects of TB. Robert Koch played a key role in discovering M. tuberculosis.
    • Etiology and Pathogenesis of TB: The main cause of human tuberculosis is M. tuberculosis. Modifications in the structure of M. tuberculosis are mainly influenced by factors like chemotherapy or localization within the patient's body and age. M. tuberculosis can change form during chemotherapy. The resistance of M. tuberculosis to antitubercular drugs is connected to several mechanisms, including natural and acquired mutations in certain genetic genes.
    • Epidemiology of TB: Infection is a key epidemiological parameter, defined by the percentage of patients with certain characteristics. Incidence rate is the number of new cases per population unit over a specific time. Prevalence encompasses the total number of existing active TB cases within a population, expressed as a percentage. High prevalence and incidence rates exist in various countries.
    • Diagnosis of TB: The primary method for diagnosis involves testing for the presence of the tuberculosis bacillus in the sputum. This can be confirmed via methods like Ziehl-Neelsen stain techniques, and other tests, including PCR, to examine the DNA of the bacillus in question. This often determines treatment plans.
    • Tuberculin Skin Test: Uses tuberculin (PPD) for diagnosing TB. A positive result indicates exposure but doesn't definitively diagnose active TB. Different types, like PPD-S and PPD-L, have varying indications in various populations.
    • Microbiology of TB: M. tuberculosis is a bacterium. The development of drug-resistant variants of the bacteria is influenced by the choice and amount of drugs used to treat TB. These resistant variants may lead to complications later in the course of TB and treatment.
    • Chest X-ray: Used to visualize lung structures and identify abnormalities, especially in TB diagnosis. Specific patterns, like Ghon's focus, are often seen in early or developing TB. Various forms of TB are associated with specific kinds of chest X-ray results; this assists in diagnosis.
    • Clinical Forms of TB: Different clinical forms of TB include primary, secondary, and latent infections, as well as various complications associated with different types of TB.
    • Treatment of TB: Chemotherapy plays a core role during treatment. Specific drugs with detailed regimens and dosages are involved throughout this process. Careful attention is paid to ensuring the complete eradication of the bacterium. The choice of therapy hinges on factors such as the presence of drug resistance, and other health considerations.
