Key result
Vascular tuberculosis case reveals heavy glomerular bacilli accumulation with minimal surrounding tissue reaction.
Why the study?
Tuberculous lesions of the vascular system are rare and have been of interest due to their distribution in miliary tuberculosis and varied vascular involvement.
Population
A single case of tuberculous lesion of the large arteries

Alerts clinicians to atypical TB vascular involvement; leaves open whether similar lesions contribute to modern miliary cases.
Case Report (n=1)
Provides a historical case description of a rare tuberculous lesion in a large artery acting as a source for miliary dissemination.
Samuel R. Haythorn (1913) conducted a case report in Tuberculosis of the large arteries (n=1). Tuberculous lesion of the vascular system was evaluated. A rare case of a tuberculous lesion of the vascular system resulted in the presence of great numbers of tubercle bacilli in a few kidney glomeruli with little or no surrounding tissue reaction.
