Oral tuberculosis:

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oral tuberculosis is granulomatous in microscopic appearance, similar to other forms of tuberculosis. It can clinically mimic primary syphilis due to ulcerative lesions. It is usually secondary to pulmonary tuberculosis, where the bacteria spread from the lungs to the oral cavity. Oral tuberculosis can be contagious, especially if there are active lesions in the mouth and sputum production, facilitating the spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
