Distribution of lesions in primary and post primary TB. The localization of lesions of (A) primary and (B) post-primary TB of several people were plotted on an X-ray. Each dot marks the location of an individual’s lesion. The distribution of primary TB is consistent with chance distribution of air-borne infection while most post-primary lesions were in the upper lobes, especially the apical segments.
