Detailed explanation-1: -There are two types of TB conditions: TB disease and latent TB infection.
Detailed explanation-2: -Secondary tuberculosis usually occurs because of reactivation of latent tuberculosis infection. The lesions of secondary tuberculosis are in the lung apices. A smaller proportion of people who develop secondary tuberculosis do so after getting infected a second time (re-infection).

Whereas secondary tuberculosis commonly involves upper lobes, causing opacities, cavities, or fibrotic scar tissue. Physical examination depends on the organs involved.
