Granulomatous disease

Granulomatous disease refers to a group of conditions where the immune system forms tiny clumps of cells, called granulomas, in response to infection, inflammation, or irritants. These granulomas can form in various organs, such as the lungs, skin, or lymph nodes, and may disrupt normal function. Common causes include infections (like tuberculosis), autoimmune diseases, and exposure to certain substances. While granulomas can help isolate harmful agents, they can also lead to damage and symptoms like coughing or fatigue, depending on their location and severity. Diagnosis and treatment depend on the underlying cause.
