Pathomorphological alterations in the lungs of patients with coexisting pulmonary tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Pathomorphological changes in the lungs in tuberculosis are diverse and have many features. They range from the formation of granulomas and necrotic processes to the development of caverns and fibrosis, which together form a complex of destructive changes in lung tissue. Pathomorphological changes in the lung tissue of patients with tuberculosis are important in the formation of the clinical picture, influencing its course and complicating the process of its treatment. The aim of the study is to examine the pathomorphological changes in lung tissue in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus.
