- Pulmonary Tuberculosis
- Bacteria is spread via droplet infection
- Engulfed by macrophages
- Enclosed in a tubercle
- Temporarily dormant
- Immunosuppression
- Activates the bacteria
- It is then released
- It destroys the alveoli
- This leads to scar tissue
- This makes diffusion less efficent
- Due to reduced surface area
- Bacteria is then spread
- To the organs etc.
- Through the blood
