The small breathing amplitude at the upper lobes favors the attraction of polymorphonuclear neutrophils to mycobacterium tuberculosis lesions and helps to understand the evolution toward active disease in an individual-based model

Infection with Mycobacteriumtuberculosis(Mtb) can induce two kindsofl esions,namely proliferative and exudative. The former are based on the presence of macrophages with controlled induction ofi ntragranulomatousnecrosis, and are evenable tostop its physical progression
