A)When a previously healed tuberculosis lesion ruptures and initiates active disease, this is called reactivation tuberculosis. This reactivation may or may not lead to extrapulmonary tuberculosis (tuberculosis outside the lungs)or to miliary tuberculosis (the spread of tuberculosis through the blood to the rest of the body). Cavitation is a process by which a bubble or cavity is formed from tuberculosis infection. It is not a type of tuberculosis.
