Tuberculosis, light micrograph C015 / 6400
Tuberculosis. Light micrograph of a section through a lymph node showing a Langhans cell (centre) caused by tuberculosis (TB). A Langhans cell is an agglomeration of macrophage white blood cells caused by the infection. The nuclei of the macrophages are seen around its periphery. TB is a disease caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria. It can cause coughing, chest pain and fever, and may be fatal

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of Tuberculosis, a disease caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria. The light micrograph captures a section through a lymph node, revealing a Langhans cell at its center. This Langhans cell is an agglomeration of macrophage white blood cells that form as a result of the tuberculosis infection. The nuclei of these macrophages can be seen surrounding the Langhans cell's periphery, providing insight into the destructive nature of TB on our immune system. With symptoms including coughing, chest pain, and fever, this disease poses significant risks to individuals affected by it and may even prove fatal if left untreated. Through this powerful image, we gain an understanding of the histopathological aspects associated with tuberculosis. The presence of tuberculous adenitis and granulomatous formations within lymph nodes highlights the severity and complexity of this condition. As we delve deeper into medical science and explore microscopic realms using advanced technology such as light microscopy, images like these become invaluable tools for healthcare professionals in diagnosing and treating diseases like TB. This photograph serves as a reminder that despite advancements in medicine, there are still battles to be fought against infectious diseases that impact millions worldwide.
