| lamina visceralis tunicae vaginalis testis | The inner part of the tunica vaginalis testis applied directly to the testis and epididymis. Synonym: lamina visceralis tunicae vaginalis testis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral surface of testis | The laterally directed surface of the testis. Synonym: facies lateralis testis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamentum testis | The caudal portion of the embryonic urogenital ridge; the upper third of the gubernaculum testis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lobules of testis | The subdivisions of the parenchyma of the testis formed by delicate fibrous septa that pass inward from the tunica albuginea to converge at the mediastinum testis. Synonym: lobuli testis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| acute miliary tuberculosis | A rapidly fatal disease due to the general dissemination of tubercle bacilli in the blood, resulting in the formation of miliary tubercles in various organs and tissues, and producing symptoms of profound toxaemia. Synonym: acute miliary tuberculosis, disseminated tuberculosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute tuberculosis | A rapidly fatal disease due to the general dissemination of tubercle bacilli in the blood, resulting in the formation of miliary tubercles in various organs and tissues, and producing symptoms of profound toxaemia. Synonym: acute miliary tuberculosis, disseminated tuberculosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adult 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) |
| aerogenic tuberculosis | Infection with the Mycobacterium tuberculosis spread by inhalation of infected droplets. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anthracotic tuberculosis | <chest medicine> Fibrosis and scarring of the lungs secondary to the repeated inhalation of dust associated with some occupation. Examples include silica, asbestos and coal dust exposure. (29 Oct 1998) |
| arrested 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) |
| attenuated tuberculosis | A mild chronic form marked by caseous tubercles of the skin and the occurrence of cold abscesses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal tuberculosis | Tuberculosis of the basilar portions of the lungs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| general tuberculosis | 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. (27 Sep 1997) |
