Psk-1 virulence gene-induced pulmonary and systemic tuberculosis in a young female with normal immune function

2023-07-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease and an important public health threat. Despite China’s achievements in controlling tuberculosis, the prevalence of this disease is still very high, with 895,000 new cases annually. This case report aimed to ascertain why a Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain caused such a severe infection in a young adult with normal immune function. Case presentatio...
