Granulomas offer a good example of why tissue research is so important for our understanding of TB. As Naidoo explains: "The more accessible cells in the body would be blood, saliva and sputum, but ...

Once the body’s immune system is infected with tuberculosis, it forms granulomas—tight clusters of white blood cells—in an attempt to wall off the infection-causing bacteria in the lungs.

Once the body's immune system is infected with tuberculosis, it forms granulomas - tight clusters of white blood cells - in an attempt to wall off the infection-causing bacteria in the lungs.

Tiny TB granulomas (small, solid collections of immune cells) develop in various organs, leading to widespread symptoms such as fever, fatigue, and organ dysfunction.
