Understanding Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis and spreads through airborne droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks. While TB mainly affects the lungs (Pulmonary Tuberculosis), it can also involve lymph nodes, bones, kidneys, brain, and other organs.
People with weakened immunity, diabetes, chronic lung disease, malnutrition, or prolonged exposure to an infected individual have a higher risk of developing active tuberculosis. Early diagnosis and complete treatment are the keys to successful recovery and preventing disease transmission.
Common Symptoms of Tuberculosis
You should seek medical evaluation if you experience:
- Persistent cough lasting more than two weeks
- Cough with sputum or blood
- Chest pain
- Fever, especially during evenings
- Night sweats
- Unexplained weight loss
- Fatigue and weakness
- Loss of appetite
- Shortness of breath
- Recurrent respiratory infections
Ignoring these symptoms may lead to serious complications and increased transmission of the disease.
