Why are there satellite foci around the tuberculous bulb CTX?

Tuberculosis is a disease with a long history, and traces of tuberculosis can be found in the mummies of the pyramids of ancient Egypt and the old ladies unearthed in Mawangdui in China. Abroad, Chopin, Chekhov, Kafka, Shelley, Keats, and Harvard's early donor, Harvard, all died of tuberculosis. In my country, celebrities who died of tuberculosis also include Lu Xun and Lin Huiyin.

Literary works are also full of descriptions of tuberculosis, such as Hua Xiaoshuo in Lu Xun's "Medicine", Lin Daiyu in Cao Xueqin's "Dream of Red Mansions", and Margaret in Alexandre Dumas's "La Traviata". Tuberculosis was known as "tuberculosis" in ancient China, and traditional Chinese medicine referred to the disease of accumulated strain as tuberculosis. Tuberculosis lesions may be scarless after mild, that is, CT is no different from normal people, but the lesions have large cavities, and may not be able to recover after the first time, just like you are left with scars after trauma, which may leave calcification points, fibrous multiplication foci, or purification cavities, which can be seen on CT, which is called old tuberculosis.

Hello, I suggest you don't have to worry. Even if tuberculosis is diagnosed with the current level of medical treatment, tuberculosis can be used, as long as it is long-term, sufficient, and combined. The state has also invested heavily in the prevention and treatment of tuberculosis, and many anti-tuberculosis drugs are distributed free of charge.

Chest x-ray shows that satellite foci are common in pulmonary tuberculosis, and one type of pulmonary tuberculosis is tuberculobula, which is common in the apex of the lung, globular shadows, clear outlines, and scattered fibroproliferative foci around, so it is called satellite foci.

Pulmonary tuberculosis calcification foci is a "scar" formed after inflammation caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in lung cells, which is a means of tissue repair, cell necrosis caused by inflammation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and normal cell necrosis caused by human metabolism, because of poor self-circulation, so as to settle down in the lungs and form calcified spots, which show bright spots that look very similar to stones under chest X-ray, called "calcifications". The formation of calcifications means that tuberculosis is getting better and tends to heal. TB acquired in 2007 is now expected to be largely healed.

Refers to the presence of small, scattered lesions around the main lesion. It is actually the spread of tuberculosis.

Pulmonary nodules are generally divided into three types: 1. Bulb tuberculosis, 2. Inflammatory pseudotumor or spherical pneumonia, 3. Peripheral lung cancer.

According to the description: the right upper lung is a circular nodular shadow with smooth margins, and there are no clear enlarged lymph nodes in the hilum and mediastinum, which can exclude peripheral lung cancer.

One important thing you didn't say: the density of the nodules ... If the density is uniform or calcified, it is considered benign, is there a satellite foci around? Combined with whether there is a clinical history of tuberculosis and whether there is a high fever and yellow sputum cough recently, the diagnosis of tuberculosis globula or inflammation can be determined!

Globula tuberculosis is a type of tuberculosis. Judging from the structure of the lesion, it is a tuberculosis lesion with a membrane on the outside. Because of the capsule, most people have no symptoms and are not easy to notice if they are not X-rayed of the lungs.

It is also due to the existence of the capsule, and the drug is not easy to penetrate into the lesion through it, so even if you seek medical treatment from many parties, the effect is not ideal. In addition, there is a chance that the capsule will break on its own (although this is rare) and that it will cause the TB lesion to spread in the lungs, so some doctors will recommend surgery to remove the TB lesion. After surgery, patients can rest assured that the TB lesions will no longer be able to spread in the lungs.

If the patient really does not want to have surgery, then it is okay not to have surgery, but it is necessary to see a doctor regularly, take medicine according to the doctor's instructions, and take an X-ray of the lungs every three months to observe whether there are any changes in the lesion, so as to ensure the stability of the condition, even in case of capsular rupture, it can be detected in time and early**. In daily life, patients should avoid overexertion and pay attention to a balanced diet.

CT of the lungs showed left upper pulmonary tuberculosis globules and satellite foci, which indicates that the diagnosis of tuberculosis is more likely, but it must be combined with other data, and this alone cannot be diagnosed.
