A member asked:
Why doesn't m. tuberculosis localise in lung apices during primary infection but localises in the apicea in the secondary infection specifically?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
TB: It is not necessarily localized in the apices, that is simply one site of reactivation. You really need to get an infectious diseases text (recommend mandell), or a textbook of pathophysiology and read about this. Or you can go online to the national medical library and look these things up. Be a great med student.
