About Active tuberculosis.

Active tuberculosis refers to a symptomatic, transmissible infectious disease caused by *Mycobacterium tuberculosis* when the host immune response fails to contain bacterial replication.

While it predominantly affects the pulmonary system, it can disseminate to extrapulmonary sites including the lymph nodes, central nervous system, kidneys, and musculoskeletal system.

Pathophysiologically, active disease is characterized by uncontrolled mycobacterial proliferation, granulomatous inflammation, and tissue necrosis.

Clinically, active tuberculosis manifests with constitutional features such as fever, night sweats, fatigue, and weight loss, frequently accompanied by localized signs such as chronic productive cough, hemoptysis, and chest pain in pulmonary disease.
