What is Tuberculosis?

                                        What is Tuberculosis?

 

Tuberculosis is a disease caused by a bacterium called tuberculosis. The bacteria usually attack the lungs, but TB bacteria can attack every part of the body, including the kidneys, spine, and brain TB, often known as tuberculosis, is a serious bacterial infection. If it is not treated right away, it could be fatal. Although it can potentially damage other organs including your brain, TB primarily affects your lung

Symptoms of TB depend on where in the body the TB bacteria growths are the signs and symptoms?

It is well known that tuberculosis is an infectious disease that can seriously infect your lungs or other tissues. The lungs are the organs in your body that are most immediately impacted by it, although your spine, brain, and kidneys may all be at risk. Latin is where the word "tuberculosis" originates.

A second name for tuberculosis is TB. Even though not everyone who contracts TB becomes ill, you should seek medical attention right away if you do.

If you have the bacterium but no symptoms, you have latent tuberculosis infection, which is an inactive form of the disease (also known as latent TB).TB may appear to be gone in a state, but it is still present and still developing while dormant (sleeping) inside your body.

Although TB germs go dormant, they continue to exist in the body and may later reawaken and become active. whether you have active tuberculosis (TB) or tuberculosis sickness following infection, symptom appearance, and contagious.

TB in the lungs can cause symptoms such as:

• A bad cough lasts 3 weeks or more
• Chest pain
• Bleeding or sputum (killing from within the lungs)
• Other symptoms of tuberculosis:
• Weakness or fatigue
• Weight loss
• Loss of appetite
• induction
• fever
• Night sweats

Tuberculosis symptoms in other parts of the body depend on the affected area.

People with latent TB infection do not get sick, have no symptoms, and cannot transmit TB to others.

What should I do?

If you have contracted TB, you should contact your doctor or local health department about a TB skin test or a special TB blood test. Tell your doctor or nurse when spending time with TB patients.

D.B. It is important that people who have been exposed to the bacteria do not immediately spread the bacteria to others. DBP The bacteria can only be spread to others. Before you give TB to others, you should get TB. Bacteria must breathe in and become infected. The active bacteria can multiply in your body and cause active TB. At this point, you can spread the TB bacteria to others. DB is for people with whom they spend time every day as family members, friends, colleagues, or school friends.

Some patients are able to fight off the TB bacteria immediately (within a week) after infection before their immune system becomes infected. Others may still be affected years later when their immune systems are weakened for other reasons. Many people who are actually infected with TB do not develop symptoms of TB.

When should I see a doctor?

As your course of treatment continues, you will still be contagious if you have been diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis for up to a few weeks.

Although you won't need to be separated for the majority of this period, it's still necessary to take a few simple steps seriously to prevent the transmission of TB to your family and friends.

Tell your doctor or nurse when spending time with TB patients.

prevention

Basil Calmette-Gurain (BCG) is a vaccine against tuberculosis (TB). This vaccine is often given to infants and young children in many countries. However, BCG does not always protect people from spreading TB.

BCG The vaccine should only be considered for children who have a negative TB skin test and are continuously exposed, and who cannot be separated from adults:

Treatment or cure for TB disease cannot provide primary prevention for long-term TB infection; Or

DPP is caused by voltage resistance to isoniazid and rifampicin.

Health workers

BCG vaccination for healthcare workers should be considered individually in certain contexts, especially:

Patients infected with strains of TB resistant to isocyanic and rifampicin are at higher rates.

Drug-resistant strains of TB persist in healthcare workers and the potential for subsequent infection

Comprehensive TB infection control measures have been implemented, but have not been successful

BCG Health workers who are recommended for vaccination, BCG late TB. The risks and benefits associated with vaccination and treatment should be discussed as an infectious disease.

Prevention of exposure to TB during foreign travel

Tourists should avoid close or prolonged contact with TB patients in crowded and closed situations (eg, clinics, hospitals, prisons, or homeless camps).

Travelers who work in clinics, hospitals, or other healthcare settings with multiple TB patients should consult with a professional health risk management specialist for infection control. They should ask for administrative and environmental practices to prevent TB exposure. After the procedure is performed, additional steps can be taken to use personal respiratory protective equipment.

Most people with infectious TB infection do not develop TB. However, some people with TDP infections are more likely to develop TDP than others. D.B.

 People at increased risk of developing the disease:

• People living with HIV
• People who were suddenly infected with TB bacteria in the last 2 years
• Children and babies
• People taking medications
• People suffer from other diseases that weaken the immune system
• old people
• Those with a history of TB who have not been properly treated

If you have a latent TB infection and are in one of these high-risk groups, you may have TB. Medicines should be taken without treating the disease. 

You and your doctor should decide the best treatment for you. If you take the medicine as directed, it can prevent you from getting TB. Because it contains only a few bacteria, treatment for TB infection is much easier than treatment for TB. Some people with TB may develop TB. in the body of bacteria. D.B. Certain medications are required to treat the disease.
