tuberculosis, in the kidney, tuberculosis, in the lung, coal worker's lungs, chest x-ray, coal workers pneumoconiosis, stage ii, coal workers pneumoconiosis, stage ii #2, coal workers pneumoconiosis, complicated, tuberculosis, advanced, chest x-rays, sarcoid, stage ii, chest x-ray, miliary tuberculosis, erythema multiforme, circular lesions, hands, erythema nodosum associated, sarcoidosis, circulatory system, miliary tuberculosis, tuberculosis, disseminated, extrapulmonary tuberculosis, tuberculosis, tb, contagious bacterial infection, bacterium mycobacterium tuberculosis, it is "disseminated", it has spread, the lungs to other organs, the body by the blood, lymph system, tuberculosis, pulmonary, infection, develop after inhaling droplets sprayed, air, a cough, sneeze by someone infected, mycobacterium tuberculosis, disease is characterized by the development of granulomas, granular tumors, infected tissues, usual site, lungs, organs involved, primary infection, has no symptoms, united states, 95% of individuals, have healing of primary tuberculous lesions, no further evidence of disease, disseminated disease develops, in the minority whose immune systems, not successfully heal the primary infection, weeks, primary infection, lie dormant, causing illness, infants, elderly, at higher risk, rapid progression to disease, weaker immune systems, in disseminated disease, organs, tissues affected, lining, the heart, pericardium, lining, the abdominal cavity, peritoneum, larynx, bronchus, cervical lymph nodes, bones, joints, organs, the male, female urinary, reproductive, genitourinary, system, eye, stomach, lining, the brain, spinal cord, meninges, skin, risk of contracting tb increases, the frequency of contact, in crowded, unsanitary living conditions, poor nutrition, hispanics, native americans, blacks, at higher risk, developing the disease, an increased incidence of tb has been, factors that causing this increase is tuberculous infection, aids, hiv infection, increasing numbers of homeless people, another factor, development of drug-resistant strains of tb, incomplete treatment of tb infections, not taking medications, prescribed length of time, contribute, proliferation of drug-resistant strains of bacteria, disseminated tb is more common in aids patients, half of aids patients, a cd4 count less than 200 who develop tb, have disseminated disease, not localized disease, in pulmonary tuberculosis, sweating, fatigue, general discomfort, uneasiness, ill feeling, malaise, weight loss, cough, shortness of breath, fever, additional symptoms that associated, paleness, joint pain, chills, swollen glands, abdominal swelling, depend upon the affected body organ, enlarged lymph nodes, enlarged liver, enlarged spleen, revealed, physical exam, chest x-ray, sputum cultures, tuberculin skin test, bronchoscopy, biopsy, culture, open lung biopsy, pleural biopsy, biopsies, cultures of affected organs, tissues, retinal lesions revealed, fundoscopy, tests, peripheral smear, serum calcium, elevated, mycobacterial culture of bone marrow, goal of treatment, cure the infection, antitubercular drugs, drugs, ethionamide, para-aminosalicylic acid, pas, pyrazinamide, isoniazid, inh, rifampin, ethambutol, streptomycin, daily oral doses, 1 year, longer, atypical tuberculosis infections, drug-resistant strains, drugs indicated to treat the infection, a minimum of three drugs, started, hospitalization is indicated, prevent the spread, the disease to others, infectious period is over, 2 to 4 weeks, start of therapy, normal activity, infectious period, most disseminated forms of tb respond well to treatment, all medications, treat tb have some toxicity, rifampin, isoniazid, cause a non-infectious hepatitis, rifampin, cause an orange, brown coloration of tears, urine, stain contact lenses, undergarments, complications, drug resistance, relapse, tuberculous meningitis, respiratory failure, adult respiratory distress syndrome, ards, suspected exposure to tb has occurred, all forms of tb, require prompt treatment, vaccination bcg, tuberculin-negative persons exposed to persons, untreated tb is given, situations, its effectiveness is under dispute, rarely used, used abroad, in countries, higher rates of tuberculosis.
