The 49 pages that link to Tuberculosis, each with the reason it gives.

• FeverBroader topic: Active tuberculosis can cause prolonged, often low-grade fever.

• Robert KochRelated: Koch’s discovery made tuberculosis a demonstrable bacterial disease rather than an unexplained condition.

• MacrophageRelated: The bacterium survives within macrophages, making these cells central to disease progression.

• Infectious diseaseBroader topic: It illustrates a bacterial infection that can persist and spread through the air.

• PneumoniaCompared with: It can cause lung inflammation and persistent symptoms but requires distinct testing and treatment.

• PaleopathologyBroader topic: Characteristic skeletal changes can provide evidence of tuberculosis in past populations.

• Koch's postulatesBroader topic: Koch applied his pathogen-identification methods to the organism causing tuberculosis.

• Mycobacterium tuberculosisNarrower topic: This disease is the principal condition caused by M. tuberculosis.

• Global healthRelated: Its global burden reflects links among treatment access, poverty, migration, and drug resistance.

• GranulomaRelated: Tuberculosis commonly produces granulomas that may contain caseous necrosis.

• Neglected tropical diseasesCompared with: It is also associated with poverty, but has a distinct global control apparatus and funding profile.

• StreptomycinRelated: Streptomycin was the first effective antibiotic used against tuberculosis.

• Ultraviolet germicidal irradiationRelated: Upper-room UVGI has been used to reduce airborne transmission in high-risk settings.

• Cell-mediated immunityBroader topic: Control of this intracellular bacterium depends heavily on T-cell activation of macrophages.

• RifampicinRelated: Rifampicin is a core drug in standard treatment regimens.

• IsoniazidNarrower topic: Isoniazid is a core drug in many regimens for this disease.

• Addison's diseaseRelated: Adrenal tuberculosis can destroy hormone-producing tissue and cause primary adrenal insufficiency.

• Bacterial infectionBroader topic: It illustrates a chronic bacterial infection that can persist and spread through the air.

• Droplet transmissionCompared with: Tuberculosis is primarily transmitted through airborne particles, illustrating a route distinct from classic droplet spread.

• Mycolic acidNarrower topic: Mycolic-acid synthesis is a major target of tuberculosis treatment.

• Vampire folkloreRelated: Its wasting symptoms and family spread helped inspire some historical vampire suspicions.

• Bactericidal antibioticRelated: Treatment uses combinations of drugs to kill bacteria while limiting emergence of resistance.

• FistulaRelated: Tuberculosis can cause fistulas in affected organs and surrounding tissues.

• Aerosol transmissionBroader topic: It spreads through inhaled airborne particles released by people with pulmonary disease.

• SarcoidosisCompared with: Tuberculosis can produce granulomas and must be considered before diagnosing sarcoidosis.

• The Magic MountainRelated: The disease makes physical decline a daily fact against which the novel weighs vitality and mortality.

• InfliximabRelated: TNF blockade can reactivate latent tuberculosis, so screening is needed before treatment.

• Legionnaires' diseaseCompared with: Both can cause pneumonia, but tuberculosis typically spreads person to person through airborne particles.

• Lesya UkrainkaRelated: Long-term illness constrained her life and made travel to warmer climates a recurring necessity.

• Selman WaksmanRelated: Streptomycin became the first effective antibiotic treatment for this major infectious disease.

• Structural violenceRelated: Its unequal burden reflects living conditions, access to diagnosis, and treatment barriers.

• Ziehl–Neelsen stainRelated: Staining sputum for acid-fast bacilli can provide rapid evidence of pulmonary infection.

• EthambutolNarrower topic: The disease is the principal target of ethambutol-containing drug regimens.

• MoxifloxacinRelated: Moxifloxacin can serve as a component of selected drug-resistant tuberculosis regimens.

• MycobacteriumRelated: It is the best-known disease caused by a member of this genus.

• PyrazinamideNarrower topic: The disease’s long treatment requirements shaped pyrazinamide’s use.

• Alberto MoraviaRelated: A severe illness confined Moravia to a sanatorium during adolescence, where he began writing.

• AmikacinRelated: Amikacin has been used as a reserve drug for drug-resistant tuberculosis, though newer regimens often avoid it.

• Nikolai OstrovskyRelated: The disease contributed to Ostrovsky’s declining health and inability to continue ordinary work.

• 4-Aminosalicylic acidNarrower topic: This is the disease for which PAS is chiefly used.

• Fever of unknown originRelated: Extrapulmonary tuberculosis can cause prolonged fever with few localizing symptoms.

• Respiratory diseaseBroader topic: It demonstrates a contagious respiratory disease that can persist and spread beyond the lungs.

• Doc HollidayRelated: Holliday’s chronic illness shaped his mobility, health, and public legend.

• Florence R. SabinNarrower topic: Sabin investigated its pathology and later organized research aimed at controlling it.

• Giant cells (pathology)Related: Tuberculous granulomas commonly contain Langhans-type giant cells.

• Giant pouched ratRelated: Trained rats can screen human sputum samples for tuberculosis-associated odors.

• PneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosisCompared with: Silica exposure increases tuberculosis risk, though tuberculosis has a different cause.

• René LaennecRelated: Laennec studied pulmonary tuberculosis and linked clinical signs to characteristic lesions.

• Respiratory tract infectionCompared with: It can affect the lungs but differs from common acute respiratory infections in course and treatment.
