Abstract

IBARGUEN-MONDRAGON, EDUARDO  and  ESTEVA, LOURDES. Un modelo matemático sobre la dinámica del Mycobacterium tuberculosis en el granuloma. Rev.colomb.mat. [online]. 2012, vol.46, n.1, pp.39-65. ISSN 0034-7426.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of the response of T cells and macrophages in the control of Mtb into the granuloma. To this end, we propose a system of ordinary differential equations to model the interaction among uninfected macrophages, infected macrophages, T cells and Mtb bacilli into the granuloma.

Keywords : Ordinary Differential Equations; Equilibrium Solutions; Tuberculosis; Immunology.
