Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Contagious and inoculable disease, due to the Koch bacillus (Mycobacterium tuberculosis), common to humans and animals.
We distinguish:
- <b>closed pulmonary tuberculosis</b> whose lesions do not communicate with the bronchi; the sputum does not contain Koch's bacillus,
- <b>open pulmonary tuberculosis</b> whose lesions are chained in the bronchi, <b>contagious </b>by the presence of Koch's bacilli in the sputum
- Other tuberculosis: cutaneous (<i>Lupus timidus</i>), osteo-articular (Pott's disease), lymph node (Careau's disease), adrenal (Addison's disease)
