Acute progressive pulmonary tuberculosis is a
concept that combines various clinical forms of
respiratory tuberculosis, characterized by an
acute onset ofthe disease and a severe
progressive course with a pronounced
intoxication syndrome, a predominance of
exudative-caseous tissue reaction, extensive
lesions and rapid formation of destructions due
to massive reproduction of mycobacteria and
immunodeficiency.

Signs of the negative phase of TB pathomorphism:

4. Polyresistent forms.
5. The predominance of exudative-necrotic reactions over productive.

There are two clinical forms of caseous

Without treatment, caseous pneumonia often
leads to death, The cause of death is pulmonary-
cardiac insufficiency, which develops against the
background of destruction of the lung tissue and
pronounced intoxication.
With the timely begun complex treatment, rapid
progression of the process can be stopped.
Gradual organization of fibrinous mas
determines the appearance of areas of
carnification: the cavity is transformed into
fibrous cavities, caseous necrotic foci are
encapsulated. So caseous pneumonia, in which
changes in the lungs are largely irreversible, is
transformed into fibro-cavernous tuberculosis of

| Symptoms of caseous pneumonia No7
A typical caseous pneumonia develops sharply. In the
initial stage, when caseous necrotic masses are formed
in the affected area, an intoxication syndrome (fever,
chills, weakness, severe sweating, a sharp deterioration
in appetite) is expressed, dyspnea, cough, mostly dry,
sometimes with a small amount of difficultly separated
sputum. |
After the melting of the caseous necrotic masses and the
formation in the lung of multiple cavities of decay, the
severity of bronchopulmonary-pleural syndrome sharply
increases. The cough becomes wet, with more sputum.
Patients are concerned about chest pain. An impurity of
blood may appear in the sputum. Dyspnea increases,
acrocyanosis develops. Mark a hectic fever of the wrong
type, often the development of cachexia.
In the physical examination of the affected lungs, the
shortening of the percussion sound is detected, the
weakened bronchial breathing, wet, finely bubbling rales
are heard. After the formation of cavities of decay, rales
become sonorous, numerous, medium- and large-bubbly.
- They note the appearance of tachycardia and an accent
tone || over the pulmonary artery, Often observed
increase in the liver.
1. Mantoux test: negative energy
2. Bacteriological examination: effective from the 2nd week (after the
formation of decay cavities, there is practically no sputum before that);
MBTs often have multi-resistance.
3. X-ray diagnostics:
1. lobar pneumonia: darkening of the entire or most part of the lobe, at
first homogeneous, then with areas of illumination of a bay-shaped
shape with indistinct contours; in the future, cavities are visible.
2. lobular pneumonia: large focal shadows and small foci (up to 1.5 cm)
of irregular shape, medium or high intensity, with fuzzy contours; often
arranged symmetricallyd).
Laboratory data: UAC (with the progression of leukopenia with a
predominance of rod-shaped, lymphopenia, sharply increased ESR),
OAM (white blood cells, leached red blood cells, hyaline cylinders).
Radiographic picture of caseous pneumonia 8a

Caseous pneumonia lesions occupy at least two lobes ofthe lungs, but
bilateral lesions often noted. Caseous pneumonia radiographically looks like
irregular and often diffuse blackout large areas without significant changes in its
volume at the beginning. It is possible to detect some more dense foci,
projections of bronchi, areas enlightenment arising out of rapid decay of cheesy
masses in some places. Complete homogeneous blackout due particularly the
associated atelectasis. X-ray may also detect disseminated and confluent large
solitary infiltrates, often with irregular, blurred contours in which in the future,
with the rapid dilution of cheesy masses formed a giant cavities or a large
number of small cavities .

Disseminated tuberculosis (DT),
according to some authors, is from
16 to 34.5% of the acutely
progressive forms of tuberculosis.
Acute progressive forms of tuberculosis include
generalized tuberculosis (acute miliary tuberculosis,
acute tuberculous sepsis) as a result of hematogenic
dissemination of the process.The disease is
characterized by gradual development over 1-3
months, and then an acute outbreak of the disease
appears. Generalized tuberculosis occurs with
extrapulmonary manifestations, sometimes multiple.
Moreover, extrapulmonary symptoms of the lesion
lead to errors in the diagnosis of tuberculosis.
