The Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis

CHARLES M. NICE JR. M.D.1

1 The Department of Radiology and Physical Therapy of the University of Minnesota, and the University Hospitals, Minneapolis, Minn.

The basic pattern of tuberculous infection has been discussed. Various theories of the mechanisms involved have been purposely omitted in many instances, and indeed, many are unsolved. It is hoped that further research and clinical observations will serve to clarify further the evolution of this disease. Although we may not be able to state dogmatically that a given lesion is a progressive primary lesion or is the result of endogenous exacerbation or exogenous reinfection, a unified concept of the pathogenesis of tuberculosis will aid in the interpretation and management of each individual case.
