Puhl's reinfection
Also known as:
Aschoff-Puhl exogenous reinfection
Aschoff-Puhl reinfection
Puhl's nodules
Associated persons:
Karl Albert Ludwig Aschoff
Hugo Puhl
Description:
A pathological-anatomical-immunological conception in the doctrine of tuberculosis. Contrary to the primary node of infection and the primary complex, the reinfection node, which is caused by renewed exogenous reinfection, will be significantly different in shape from the primary node. This is due to the immunising effect of the previous primary infection.
