Post-Primary Pulmonary Tuberculosis (Reactivation TB)

Post-Primary Pulmonary Tuberculosis occurs when a previously infected person develops reactivation of TB in the lungs.
It is more common in adults and usually affects the upper lobes of the lungs.
This form shows caseation, cavitation, and extensive lung tissue destruction.
Symptoms include chronic cough, hemoptysis (blood in sputum), fever, night sweats, and weight loss.
With timely diagnosis and a full course of anti-TB therapy, post-primary TB is treatable and curable.
