The term, "old granulomatous disease" is based on x-ray findings that show scarring, characteristic of past infection with any of a number of fungi or tuberculosis. The implication is that whatever infection caused this scarring, is currently inactive and that no treatment or further testing is required. Hope This Helps.
I just went to an ENT to be evaluated for my TMJ, he was reviewing my files and said I had history of old granulatomous lung disease, which I didnt know about. then told me that I had had hystoplasmosis and that is what caused the scarring of my lung. , so yes it can.
An old healed granulomatous lesion in the left high parietal region refers to a past inflammatory response in the brain that has caused the formation of granulomas, which are small areas of inflammation. These lesions have healed over time, leaving behind scar tissue or fibrosis. They may be associated with conditions like infections (e.g., tuberculosis) or inflammatory disorders.
It is an old word for the disease Tuberculosis.
Not only old people get Parkinson's disease.
Granulomatous is an inflammation of the lungs caused by the bacteria M.tuberculosis and is incited by tubercle bacilus. The bacteria itself has a waxy coating that makes it very resistant to destruction. This is why it can stay in the lungs dormantly and then crop up again many years later. While granulomatous is not strong itself, its destructiveness comes from a hypersensitivity response. To find this information I used Essentials of Pathophysiology by Carol Mattson Porth.
