Miliary tuberculosis, light micrograph
Miliary tuberculosis. Light micrograph of a section through a single miliary tubercle (left) in a patients lung. Tubercles are nodular lesions of infected dead tissue that arise from tuberculosis (TB). Miliary TB is a chronic form of TB where Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria have entered the blood or lymph system and spread to other organs. If untreated, this type of TB is fatal. Treatment involves a long course of several antibiotics

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of miliary tuberculosis, a chronic form of tuberculosis that can be fatal if left untreated. The light micrograph reveals a section through a single miliary tubercle in a patient's lung, highlighting the nodular lesions formed by infected dead tissue. These tubercles are caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria entering the bloodstream or lymph system and spreading to other organs. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the devastating impact of this disease on the human body. It emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and treatment, which typically involves an extensive course of multiple antibiotics. Through its detailed depiction, this print offers valuable insights into the pathology and histopathology associated with miliary tuberculosis. It showcases various cellular components such as lymphocytes, macrophages, follicular epithelioid cells, and multinucleated cells that play crucial roles in fighting off infection. As we gaze upon this remarkable visual representation captured under a light microscope, we are reminded of both the fragility and resilience of our bodies when faced with invasive bacterial infections like Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This image not only contributes to medical research but also raises awareness about this debilitating condition within healthcare communities worldwide.
