 Is the most prevalent communicable infectious disease
on earth and remains out of control in many
developing nations
 It is a chronic specific inflammatory infectious disease
caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis in humans
 Usually attacks the lungs but it can also affect any parts
of the body
TUBERCULOSIS (TB)
Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
Introduction Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Clinical features Diagnosis Treatment
 Coinfection with HIV
o Accelerates the progression of both diseases
o Requiring rapid diagnosis and treatment of both diseases
 Tuberculosis can produce atypical signs and symptoms in
infants, the elderly, and immunocompromised hosts
and it can progress rapidly in these patients
TUBERCULOSIS (TB)
Introduction Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Clinical features Diagnosis Treatment
Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
 Mycobacterium tuberculosis
 It presents either as latent TB infection (LTBI) or as progressive
active disease.
 The latter typically causes progressive destruction of the lungs, leading
to death in most patients who do not receive treatment
 Common cause other than tuberculosis includes:
o M. avium intracellulare, M. scrofulaceum
o M. ulcerans, M. fortuitum, etc.
ETIOLOGY
Introduction Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Clinical features Diagnosis Treatment
Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
 Roughly one of every three people on earth is infected by
M. tuberculosis (WHO, 2008)
 The distribution is very uneven, with the highest incidences
found in southern Asia and sub-Saharan Africa
 In the United States, about 13 million people have LTBI,
evidenced by a positive skin test [purified protein derivative
(PPD)] but no signs or symptoms of disease
EPIDEMIOLOGY
Introduction Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Clinical features Diagnosis Treatment
Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
 Every year approximately 1.7 million people develop TB
 Tuberculosis (TB) kills about 2 million people each year
 With the spread of AIDS, tuberculosis continues to lay waste to
large populations
 The emergence of drug resistant organism threatens to make this
disease once again incurable
EPIDEMIOLOGY
Introduction Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Clinical features Diagnosis Treatment
Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
 Low socioeconomic status
 Crowded living conditions
 Diseases that weakens immune system like HIV
 Person on immunosuppresants like steroid Health care workers
 Migration from a country with a high number of cases
 Alcoholism
 Recent Tubercular infection (within last 2 years)
RISK FACTORS OF TUBERCULOSIS
Introduction Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Clinical features Diagnosis Treatment
Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
 HIV is the most important risk factor for active TB, because
the immune deficit prevents patients from containing the initial
infection
 Roughly 10% of US TB patients are coinfected with HIV, and
roughly 20% of TB patients ages 25 to 44 years are coinfected
with HIV
COINFECTION WITH HUMAN
IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS (HIV)
Introduction Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Clinical features Diagnosis Treatment
Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
 Pulmonary TB (85% of all TB cases)
 Extra-pulmonary sites
• Lymph node
• Genito-urinary tract
• Bones & Joints
• Meninges
• Intestine
• Skin
SITES INVOLVED

Lung
Spine
Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
 Rod shaped,
 0.2-0.5 µ in D, 2-4 µ in L
 Mycolic acid present in its cell
wall, makes it acid fast
 It resists decolourization with
acid & alcohol
 Aerobic and non motile
 It multiplies slowly, can remain dormant for decades
CHARECTERISTICS OF M. TUBERCULOSIS
Introduction Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Clinical features Diagnosis Treatment
Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
 Person-to-person through the
air by a person with active TB
disease of the lungs
 Less frequently transmitted by:
Ingestion of M. bovis
found in unpasteurized milk
 Inoculation (in skin tuberculosis)
 Transplacental route (rare route)
How is TB Transmitted?

Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
Primary Infection
 The progression to clinical disease in a previously unexposed,
immunocompetent person depends on three factors:
(1) The number of M. tuberculosis organisms inhaled
(2) Infecting dose and the virulence of these organisms
(3) The development of anti-mycobacterial cell-mediated
immunity
 Immunity to M. tuberculosis is primarily mediated by TH1 cells,
which stimulate macrophages to kill the bacteria
PRIMARY TUBERCULOSIS
Introduction Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Clinical features Diagnosis Treatment
Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
 Disease that develops in a previously
unexposed person. Almost always begins in
lungs
 Inhaled bacilli implant in the distal airspaces
of lower part of upper lobe or upper part of
lower lobe
 1-1.5 cm area of grey white inflammation
with consoldation develops, called as
Ghon focus which often caseates

Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
Introduction Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Clinical features Diagnosis Treatment
1. M. tuberculosis enters macrophages by endocytosis mediated by several macrophage receptors:
mannose receptors bind lipoarabinomannan, a glycolipid in the bacterial cell wall
2. Inside the macrophage, M. tuberculosis replicates within the phagosome by blocking phaglysosome formation
• Inhibition of Ca2+
signals
and blocking recruitment
• Assembly of the proteins
which mediate
phagosome-lysosome
fusion
Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
Introduction Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Clinical features Diagnosis Treatment
1. About 3 weeks after infection, a TH1 response against M. tuberculosis is mounted that activates
macrophages to become bactericidal.
2.
Differentiation of TH1 cells depends on the presence of IL-12, which is produced by antigen presenting cells
3. Mature TH1 cells, both in
lymph nodes and lung, produce
IFN-γ. IFN-γ is the critical
mediator which drives
macrophages to become
competent to contain the M.
tuberculosis infection.
Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
Histopathological changes
Granulomatous inflammation forms both caseating
and non caseating tubercles
Tuberculous granuloma has the following criteria:
1. Rounded outlines
2. Central caseous necrosis
3. Transformed macrophages called epithelioid cells
4. Lymphocytes, plasma cells, and fibroblasts
PRIMARY TUBERCULOSIS
Introduction Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Clinical features Diagnosis Treatment
Tubercle bacilli
Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
PRIMARY TUBERCULOSIS
Well-defined granulomas . They have rounded outlines. The center contains
several Langhans giant cells. Granulomas are composed of transformed
macrophages called epithelioid cells along with lymphocytes, plasma cells, and
fibroblasts. The localized, small appearance of these granulomas suggests that
the immune response is fairly good

PRIMARY TUBERCULOSIS
Occasionally, even in immunocompetent
individuals, tubercular granulomas might
not show central caseation
In immunosuppressed individuals, tuberculosis may
not elicit a granulomatous response ("nonreactive
tuberculosis"); instead, sheets of foamy histiocytes are
seen, packed with mycobacteria that are demonstrable
with acid-fast stains
Introduction Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Clinical features Diagnosis Treatment
 No progression
 Healing by fibrosis and calcification
 Ghons complex after undergoing progressive
fibrosis produces radiologically detectable
calcification called as Ranke complex
 Progressive primary tuberculosis
 Primary miliary tuberculosis
 Dissemination to organs like liver, spleen, kidney, ..etc.

SECONDARY PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS
The upper parts of both lungs Showed:
• Gray-white areas of caseation
• Multiple areas of softening and cavitation
Introduction Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Clinical features Diagnosis Treatment
Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
 The lesion may heal with fibrous scarring and calcification
 The lesions may coalesce together to form large area of
tuberculous pneumonia and produce progressive secondary
pulmonary tuberculosis producing pulmonary & extra pulmonary
lesions:
 Tuberculous caseous pneumonia
 Fibrocaseous tuberculosis
 Miliary tuberculosis
FATE OF SEC. PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS
Introduction Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Clinical features Diagnosis Treatment
Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
 Extensive infection via hematogenous spread
 In lung: lesions are either microscopic or small, visible foci (2mm) of
yellow white consolidation scattered through out lung parenchyma
 Miliary pulmonary disease can cause pleural effusion, tuberculous
empyema or obliterative fibrous pleuritis.
 Extra pulmonary miliary tuberculosis is most prominent in the
liver, spleen, bone marrow, adrenals, meninges, kidneys, fallopian
tubes and epididymis but can involve any organ

MILIARY TUBERCULOSIS
Miliary tuberculosis of the spleen
The cut surface shows numerous gray-white granulomas
Introduction Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Clinical features Diagnosis Treatment
Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
 In tissues or organs seeded hematogenously
 Commonly involved organs include:
 Intestinal tuberculosis (Primary, Secondary and hyperplastic)
 Meninges (Tuberculous meningitis)
 Kidneys (Renal tuberculosis)
 Adrenals (Addison disease)
 Bones (Osteomyelitis)
 Vertebrae (Pott disease)
 Fallopian tubes (Salpingitis)
EXTRA PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS
Introduction Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Clinical features Diagnosis Treatment
Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
 HIV infection is the most important risk factor for active TB.
 As CD4+ lymphocytes multiply in response to the
mycobacterial infection, HIV multiplies within these cells and
selectively destroys them, gradually eliminating the TB-fighting
lymphocytes
 HIV-infected patients infected with TB are at a substantially higher
risk of early mortality compared with HIV-negative TB patients
 Most clinicians elect to begin TB treatment first. A reasonable time to
begin HIV treatment is after 2 months of TB treatment

Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
* TST (Tuberculin skin test)
* IGRA (Interferon-Gamma
Release Assays)
 Infection with M. tuberculosis typically leads to the development
of delayed hypersensitivity to M. tuberculosis antigens, which can
be detected by the tuberculin (Mantoux) test
 About 2 to 4 weeks after infection, intracutaneous injection of
purified protein derivative of M. tuberculosis (PPD) induces a
visible and palpable induration that peaks in 48 to 72 hours
DIAGNOSIS
SKIN TESTING
Introduction Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Clinical features Diagnosis Treatment
Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
 A positive tuberculin test result signifies cell-mediated
hypersensitivity to tubercular antigens. It does not differentiate
between infection and disease
 False-negative reactions may be produced by certain viral infections,
sarcoidosis, malnutrition, immunosuppression
 False-positive reactions may also result from infection by atypical
mycobacteria
DIAGNOSIS
Introduction Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Clinical features Diagnosis Treatment
Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
Sputum examination
 Are essential to confirm TB Best collected in morning before any
meal
Sputum examination on 3 days, increase chances of detection
Sputum can be collected from laryngeal swab or bronchial washing In
small children, gastric lavage can be examined.
Smear should be prepared from thick dirty part of sputum & stained
with Ziehl-Neelson technique
DIAGNOSIS
Introduction Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Clinical features Diagnosis Treatment
Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
 Always treat with multiple drugs. Never add a single drug to a
failing regimen.
 Treatment course depends on the categories of the patient
 Usually 6 months, sometimes 9 months
 Four drugs for two months Isoniazid – Rifampicin – Ethambutol -
Pyrazinamide
 Two drugs for four or seven months Isoniazid - Rifampicin
 DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment Short-course ) is given
TREATING TB DISEASE (GENERAL PRINCIPLES)
Introduction Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Clinical features Diagnosis Treatment
Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
 Isoniazid is the preferred drug for treating latent TB infection
 Generally, isoniazid alone is given for 9 months for latent
TB infection (LTBI) reduces a person’s lifetime risk of active TB

 The caseous material from a case of secondary tuberculosis in an
individual with high degree of hypersensitivity, may spread to rest of
the lung producing caseous pneumonia.
TUBERCULOUS CASEOUS PNEUMONIA
Tuberculosis
FIBROCASEOUS TUBERCULOSIS
The original area of Tuberculous pneumonia undergoes massive central
caseation necrosis which may-Break in to a bronchus forming a cavity
called as Cavitary or Open Fibrocaseous TB
and become the source of spread of infection to others (open
tuberculosis).
It can lead to endobronchial and endotracheal TB.
Remain as a soft caseous lesion without drainage in to a bronchus or
bronchiole to produce a non cavitary lesion called as Chronic Fibrocaseous
TB.

2. Secondary intestinal tuberculosis:
Swallowing of sputum in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis
may cause secondary intestinal tuberculosis.
Most commonly in the terminal ileum and rarely in the colon.
Histologically: tubercles will be present.
Mucosa and submocosa show ulceration and the muscularis may be
replaced by variable degree of tuberculosis.
3. Hyperplastic intestinal tuberculosis : The caecum and ascending
colon are thick walled with mucosal ulceration. Histologically: caseating
tubercles will be present.

 LUPUS VULGARIS : It is reactivation type of tuberculosis. Generally
involves the face and the lesions are formed of red patches in which
small, firm nodules reside.
 Microscopically, non necrotic and less commonly necrotic
granulomas are found in the dermis.
CUTANEOUS TUBERCULOSIS
Tuberculosis
Introduction Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology
DOTS (directly observed treatment, short-course), is the
name given to the tuberculosis control strategy recommended by
the World Health Organization.[1]
According to WHO, “The most
cost-effective way to stop the spread of TB in communities with
a high incidence is by curing it. The best curative method for TB
is known as DOTS.”[2]
DOTS has five main components:
Government commitment (including political will at all levels, and
establishment of a centralized and prioritized system of TB
monitoring, recording and training).
Case detection by sputum smear microscopy.
Standardized treatment regimen directly of six to eight months
observed by a healthcare worker or community health worker for
at least the first two months.
A regular, uninterrupted drug supply.
A standardized recording and reporting system that allows
assessment of treatment results.

Introduction Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Clinical features Diagnosis Treatment Droplet nuclei containig tubercle baccilli Tubercle bacilli multiply in the alveoli Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
  • 12. Primary Infection  The progression to clinical disease in a previously unexposed, immunocompetent person depends on three factors: (1) The number of M. tuberculosis organisms inhaled (2) Infecting dose and the virulence of these organisms (3) The development of anti-mycobacterial cell-mediated immunity  Immunity to M. tuberculosis is primarily mediated by TH1 cells, which stimulate macrophages to kill the bacteria PRIMARY TUBERCULOSIS Introduction Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Clinical features Diagnosis Treatment Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis

  • 15. Introduction Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Clinical features Diagnosis Treatment 1. M. tuberculosis enters macrophages by endocytosis mediated by several macrophage receptors: mannose receptors bind lipoarabinomannan, a glycolipid in the bacterial cell wall 2. Inside the macrophage, M. tuberculosis replicates within the phagosome by blocking phaglysosome formation • Inhibition of Ca2+ signals and blocking recruitment • Assembly of the proteins which mediate phagosome-lysosome fusion Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
  • 16. Introduction Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Clinical features Diagnosis Treatment 1. About 3 weeks after infection, a TH1 response against M. tuberculosis is mounted that activates macrophages to become bactericidal. 2. Differentiation of TH1 cells depends on the presence of IL-12, which is produced by antigen presenting cells 3. Mature TH1 cells, both in lymph nodes and lung, produce IFN-γ. IFN-γ is the critical mediator which drives macrophages to become competent to contain the M. tuberculosis infection. Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
  • 17. Histopathological changes Granulomatous inflammation forms both caseating and non caseating tubercles Tuberculous granuloma has the following criteria: 1. Rounded outlines 2. Central caseous necrosis 3. Transformed macrophages called epithelioid cells 4.

  • 47. DOTS (directly observed treatment, short-course), is the name given to the tuberculosis control strategy recommended by the World Health Organization.[1] According to WHO, “The most cost-effective way to stop the spread of TB in communities with a high incidence is by curing it. The best curative method for TB is known as DOTS.”[2] DOTS has five main components: Government commitment (including political will at all levels, and establishment of a centralized and prioritized system of TB monitoring, recording and training). Case detection by sputum smear microscopy. Standardized treatment regimen directly of six to eight months observed by a healthcare worker or community health worker for at least the first two months. A regular, uninterrupted drug supply. A standardized recording and reporting system that allows assessment of treatment results.
