Immune-dependent granulomatous inflammation is important in the pathogenesis of both schistosomiasis and tuberculosis. A case has previously been made for a role for schistosome egg-induced granulomas in the onward transmission of infection. Here, Mike Doenhoff suggests that a similar hypothesis applies to tuberculosis.
免疫依赖性肉芽肿性炎症在血吸虫病和结核病的发病机制中都很重要。先前已有研究表明血吸虫卵诱导的肉芽肿在感染的进一步传播中起作用。在此,迈克·多恩霍夫认为类似的假说也适用于结核病。
