Sis is a chronic respiratory condition caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a highly contagious bacterium. People with tuberculosis will often have a persistent (sometimes bloody) cough, fatigue, weight loss, and fever. M. tuberculosis produces a protein we will call "X." A new test for tuberculosis checks for X antibodies in a person's blood. If the antibodies are present, the result is positive. Why would X antibodies be present in someone's blood What specific kind of cells would produce them?

Hematology

Hematology is the branch of biology. Hematology is the medical field that deals with the treatment of blood disorders and cancers, such as hemophilia, leukemia, lymphoma, and sickle-cell anemia. Hematologists and hematopathologists are medical professionals who specialize in illnesses of the blood and its components.
