Classic Ghon complex in a child infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Classic Ghon complex in a child infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis
This radiograph shows a classic Ghon complex in a child infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis about six months previously, based on results of a contact investigation. There is a calcified parenchymal lesion (arrows) and calcification of the regional hilar lymph node. Although a Ghon complex contains live organisms, the number is small (as seen in infection rather than disease), so management as for tuberculosis infection (rather than tuberculosis disease) is sufficient.
