Summary
| Description | English: (D): If the mycobacteria are contained with the lungs, within 2 to 8 weeks, resident macrophages will ingest and surround the mycobacteria (see question 2). These host immune cells form a “wall” around the bacteria, called a granuloma, that functions to contain and control the bacilli as to prevent the progression to active TB disease.
Note: in this figure, the bacilli are in the lungs but this process can occur in different areas of the body outlined in (C) |
