For these patients, there are two types of tuberculosis: the âopenâ or pulmonary-positive and âclosedâ or pulmonary-negative tuberculosis. In the case of open tuberculosis an inflammation developed inside the lungs that the immune system is not able to isolate, i.e., bring under control.
The bacteria that causes Tuberculosis (TB) is Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Of interest is that M. tuberculosis complex (MTBC) can also cause TB in humans, but is rare. This includes M. bovis, M. africanum, M. canetti and M. microti. Other Mycobacteria such as M. kansasii and M. avium can also cause pulmonary disease. This is different to TB.
