A chronic infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, primarily affecting the lungs but capable of spreading to other parts of the body, often starting with a primary infection that may heal spontaneously but can progress to a more severe, disseminated form.
A condition characterized by the presence of gram-positive, acid-fast bacteria that are resistant to various environmental changes, leading to a highly contagious form of infection.
An illness that initially presents with localized infections in the lungs and lymph nodes, which can later lead to systemic complications if left untreated.
A medical term referring to a severe health issue that has historical significance as a major cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in crowded living conditions.
Example:
何年か前には、結核にかかっていると知らされることは死の宣告を聞くのに等しかった。
An infectious disease primarily affecting the lungs, caused by inhaling the tuberculosis bacillus, often characterized by a chronic progression and the potential for transmission through coughing and sputum. Initial symptoms may be absent, but as the condition advances, it can lead to lung cavities and spread to other organs via the lymphatic or circulatory systems.
A chronic respiratory illness caused by a bacterial infection that typically manifests with persistent fever, cough, and sometimes coughing up blood, often beginning without noticeable symptoms.
Example:
最近、肺結核を患う人はほとんどいない。
A type of bacteria that is responsible for the infectious disease known as tuberculosis, characterized by its rod-shaped structure and high resistance to environmental changes such as acid and temperature.
The pathogen identified in 1882 by Robert Koch, which commonly spreads through respiratory droplets from infected individuals, primarily affecting the lungs but potentially impacting other parts of the body as well.
A specific bacterium that can cause serious health conditions, particularly pneumonia-like symptoms, and is particularly known for its ability to survive in harsh conditions, making it a significant public health concern due to its contagion risk.
