Hello
Primary complex term is related to pulmonary koch's(tuberculosis).

Primary complex of tuberculosis consists of local reaction in the parenchyma of lung where organisms lodge and inflammatory reaction of the associated lymph nodes.
Your son's clinical findings may also indicate about koch's infection.
He may need few more tests like mantoux test,T.B gold test or PCR test for confirmation.
