Abstract

The chapter includes the introductory section devoted to the role of pathology in the study of tuberculosis from ancient civilizations till nowadays and three sections devoted to special issues based upon long-term studies of Russian pathologists including own experience of the authors. Thus we distinguish several not described in the world literature forms. We identify, describe, and illustrate TBC of intrathoracic lymph nodes, primary tuberculosis complex (Ranvier), disseminated pulmonary TBC with acute and chronic course, miliary disseminated TBC, focal pulmonary TBC, pulmonary tuberculoma (five morphological variants), infiltrative pulmonary TBC, caseous pneumonia, cavernous changes, including “fibro-cavernous pulmonary TBC,” different forms of bronchitis, cirrhotic TBC, pleurisy, acute and chronic empyema, TBC of trachea, konyo, and silicotuberculosis. Data allowing to judge about the activity of the process are presented. In special section are described and extensive illustrated peculiarities of TBC with HIV in AIDS stage. Special section is devoted to nontuberculosis Mycobacteria (avium–mac) both in immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. We present the most complete image gallery of lung lesions in mycobacterioses ever appeared in the history of world pathology. The text includes, illustrated by 91 original images from own practice.
