Key result
Tuberculous invasion of large arteries drives distinct clinical disease entities unlike small vessel involvement.
Why the study?
Tuberculous arteritis of small arteries is clinically insignificant and undiagnosed except microscopically, but tuberculous invasion of moderate or large arteries leads to clinically distinct disease entities.

Such lesions need no separate reporting in TB; leaves open any modern vascular role in extrapulmonary disease.
Case Report
Tuberculous invasion of moderate or large arteries can lead to distinct disease entities such as aneurysms, which are clinically significant.
Baumgarten et al. (1933) conducted a case report in Tuberculous mesarteritis with aneurysm of the femoral artery. Tuberculous invasion of moderate or large arteries was evaluated. Tuberculous invasion of moderate or large arteries initiates distinct clinical disease entities, unlike asymptomatic small vessel involvement.
