Postprimary TB, also known as reactivation TB, is characterized by cavity formation in the lungs, dilated and distorted bronchi, and fibrosis of lung parenchyma. These changes are due to the destructive nature of the disease as it reactivates, often in the apex of the lung, leading to significant structural damage.
