Aberrant macrophage activation and maladaptive lung repair promote tuberculosis progression uniquely in the lung

2023-10-20

Abstract excerpt

Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) represents 85% of the disease burden caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and promotes aerosol transmission infecting about a quarter of people globally. Most Mtb infections are effectively limited within primary granulomatous lesions. Containment failures lead to hematogenous spread and the formation of post-primary destructive PTB lesions.
