    Tuberculosis, or TB, is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It typically affects the lungs (pulmonary TB) but can also affect other parts of the body. Common symptoms include cough, chest pain, coughing up blood, weight loss, fever, chills and night sweats. The disease spreads through inhaling droplets from the coughs or sneezes of an infected individual. Those at highest risk include individuals with diabetes, chronic kidney failure, or compromised immune systems. Screening often involves a Mantoux tuberculin skin test or sputum test. Prevention focuses on vaccination with the BCG vaccine. Treatment involves a combination of antibiotics like isoniazid, rif

    DEFINITION
    TUBERCULOSIS OR TB (WHICH NOW ABANDONED ABBREVIATIONS ARE TBC) IS AN INFECTIOUS DISEASE CAUSED BY THE BACTERIUM MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS

    Classification

    Tuberculosis of lung confirmed Pulmonary tuberculosis Tuberculosis in the nervous system Tuberculosis in other organs Tuberculosis millier

    Signs and symptoms

    chest pain
    coughing up blood a productive prolonged

    appetite loss weight loss pallor fatigue shortness of

    cough for more than three weeks fever chills night sweats

    breath malaise

    Pathophysiology
    The cause of this disease is the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex -> because of its size very small -> the TB germs in the spark-organism (droplet nuclei)are inhaled -> can reach the alveoli -> The entry of these TB germs will soon beovercome by a mechanism non specific immunological -> During the early weeks of the infection process -> there is a logarithmic growth TB germs so the body tissues which originally have not beensensitized totuberculinAfter cellular immunity is formed -> the primary focus in the lungtissue is usually experience is perfectly formed the resolution of fibrosis orcalcification after experienced necrosis perkijuan

    Risk factors
    PERSONS WITH CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE AND DIABETES MILITUS HAVE A RISK FOR DEVELOPING ACTIVE TB .

    Transmission
    TRANSMISSION OF THE DISEASE BY CONTACT WITH SPUTUM OR INHALING WATER DROPLETS FROM SNEEZING OR COUGHING OF INFECTED PEOPLE GERMS OF TUBERCULOSIS

    Screening
    MANTOUX TUBERCULIN SKIN TESTS ARE OFTEN USED FOR ROUTINE SCREENING OF HIGH RISK INDIVIDUALS. SPUTUM TEST

    Prevention
    MANY COUNTRIES USE THE BACILLUS CALMETTE-GURIN (BCG) VACCINE AS PART OF THEIR TB CONTROL PROGRAMMES

    Treatment
    1. ISONAZID 2. RIFAMPISIN 3. PIRAZINAMID 4. STREPTOMISIN 5. ETAMBUTOL
