Hypoxia and the mechanisms regulating inflammatory tissue destruction in tuberculosis

2014-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) causes approximately 2 million deaths a year. There have been few new drugs developed to treat the disease and treatment courses are often complex owing to the emergence of drug resistance and the HIV epidemic. It is unknown whether lesions in human tuberculosis (TB) are hypoxic, nor whether this influences disease pathology. Human TB is characterized by extensive lung destruction...
