This is generally affect the lungs but can be affect all over the body it is known as Latent Tuberculosis. ● Mycobacteria are non motile ,non spore forming ,aerobic , facultative and measuring 0.2 -0.5 micrometer . By 2 -4 micrometer. Microbacterium Tuberculosis bactria ◆ Mode of transmission :  TB is spread through the air i.e droplet infection . From infected person to healthy person . A single sneeze can release upto 40,000 droplets , since the infectious dose of tuberculosis is very low so inhalation of only 10 bacteria cause an infection. ...

Gout .

Gout     Gout Patient.     Increase serum uric acid concentration  (Hyperuricaemia ) ● Recurrent attack of characteristics types of acute arthritis in which crystal of mono sodium urate monohydrate may be in leucocyte present in synovial fluid .. ● Deposition of monosodium urate mono hydrates in and around joints. ● Involvement of renal disease ● uric acid Nephrolithiasis .
