Refractile and apparently calcified bodies are frequently present in the giant cells of the tubercles, but acid-fast organisms are absent. The characteristic microscopic granulomas persist, although the lesions become scarred and hyalinized.Many investigators have observed that there are a variety of agents which evoke a pattern of tissue reaction similar to the lesions seen in Boeck's sarcoid.1-4Among these agents are acid-fast bacilli, includingMycobacterium tuberculosis...Bibliography1.
