What is the long term effect of primary complex?

The long-term effects of primary complex, which is typically caused by a primary infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, can vary depending on the individual's immune response and the management of the condition. In some cases, it may resolve without significant issues, while in others, it can lead to chronic pulmonary disease or latent tuberculosis infection, which can reactivate later. Complications such as respiratory impairment or pulmonary fibrosis may also occur. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial in mitigating these long-term effects.
