| 설명 | 귀는 오감의 하나인 청각을 받아들여 소리를 듣고, 회화를 이해하는 중요한 생활정보의 입력 장소이다. 신체의 평형감각을 담당하는 중요한 전정, 반고리관이 있어서 인간이 일상생활을 영위하는 데에 매우 중요한 기능을 하는 곳이다. 어떤 이유로 이들 기능이 떨어지면 난청이나 귀울음, 또는 현기증, 비틀거림 등의 평형장애가 나타나고, 심각한 정보장애가 일어나므로 충분한 주의가 필요하다. 귀는 크게 바깥귀, 가운데귀, 속귀의 3부분으로 나누는데 바깥귀라고 하는 것은 소리를 고막까지 전달하는 외이도부분을 말한다. 그리고 중이란 고막에서 내이 사이의 공간으로 여기에는 고막의 진동을 소리를 느끼는 달팽이(cochlea)까지 전달해 주는 작은 뼈인 3개의 귓속뼈(ossicle)이 있는 곳이다. 속귀란 소리를 직접 느끼는 기관인 달팽이, 평행감각을 담당하는 반고리관, 구형낭(saccule), 타원낭(utricle)이 있는 곳을 말한다. |

|---|---|
| postprimary tuberculosis | Tuberculosis found in adults and characterised by lesions near the apex of an upper lobe, which may cavitate or heal with scarring without spreading to lymph nodes; theoretically, secondary tuberculosis may be due to exogenous reinfection or to reactivation of a dormant endogenous infection. Synonym: adult tuberculosis, postprimary tuberculosis, reinfection tuberculosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cutaneous tuberculosis | Pathologic lesions of the skin caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Synonym: dermal tuberculosis, tuberculosis cutis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| healed tuberculosis | A scar or a calcified, fibrous, or caseous nodule in the lung pleura, lymph node, or other organ, resulting from previous tuberculosis that has regressed; reactivation is possible. Synonym: arrested tuberculosis, inactive tuberculosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primary tuberculosis | First infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, typically seen in children but also occurs in adults, characterised in the lungs by the formation of a primary complex consisting of small peripheral pulmonary focus with spread to hilar or paratracheal lymph nodes; may cavitate or heal with scarring or may progress. Synonym: childhood type tuberculosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary tuberculosis | Tuberculosis found in adults and characterised by lesions near the apex of an upper lobe, which may cavitate or heal with scarring without spreading to lymph nodes; theoretically, secondary tuberculosis may be due to exogenous reinfection or to reactivation of a dormant endogenous infection. Synonym: adult tuberculosis, postprimary tuberculosis, reinfection tuberculosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulmonary tuberculosis | Tuberculosis of the lungs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dermal tuberculosis | Pathologic lesions of the skin caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Synonym: dermal tuberculosis, tuberculosis cutis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| disseminated tuberculosis | <microbiology> Usually a chronic tuberculosis infection where spread of the original primary infection has occurred via the patients lymphatic system (or bloodstream). Disseminated disease occurs primarily in the immunocompromised individual (for example AIDS, cancer patient). The elderly are at increased risk for dissemination. In disseminated disease, organs and tissues that can be affected include pericardium, peritoneum, larynx, bronchus, bone, joints, lymph nodes, stomach, meninges, eyes, kidneys and skin. Treatment is with INH, rifampin, ethambutol and other antibiotics. (11 Jan 1998) |
| inactive tuberculosis | A scar or a calcified, fibrous, or caseous nodule in the lung pleura, lymph node, or other organ, resulting from previous tuberculosis that has regressed; reactivation is possible. Synonym: arrested tuberculosis, inactive tuberculosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| open tuberculosis | Pulmonary tuberculosis, tuberculous ulceration, or other form in which the tubercle bacilli are present in the excretions or secretions; in the lung, usually the result of cavity formation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| enteric tuberculosis | A complication of cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis usually resulting from expectoration and swallowing of bacilli that then infect areas of the digestive tract where there is relative stasis or abundant lymphoid tissue. See: tuberculous enteritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tuberculosis | <disease, microbiology> An infection caused by a species of Mycobacterium, still remains a major worldwide health problem. Although deaths from this disease have declined since the 1950's there has been some increase in tuberculosis incidence. Tuberculosis is transmitted from person to person by an aerosol of organisms suspended in tiny droplets that are inhaled. Acronym: TB (27 Sep 1997) |
| tuberculosis, avian | A variety of tuberculosis affecting various birds, including chickens and ducks. It is caused by mycobacterium avium and characterised by tubercles consisting principally of epithelioid cells. It may be transmitted to other animals including man. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tuberculosis, bovine | An infection of cattle caused by mycobacterium bovis. It is transmissible to man and other animals. (12 Dec 1998) |
