What is Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease usually caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB)

bacteria. This bacterium forms rods and is acid resistant so it is known as Acid Resistant Rod (BTA).
This bacterium was first discovered by Robert Koch on March 24, 1882, so it is called Baksil Koch. In
fact, tuberculosis in the lungs is called konch pulmonum (KP).

Bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis can be transmitted through sputum that comes out when
coughing, sneezing or talking. Because of its transmission through inhaled air when approved, it is
estimated that one person succeeding in TB that is not approved will be transmitted to 10-15 people
each year.

quickly because of finding factors. And usually, even though it has been eradicated by the immune
system, this bacillus can also remain active. Well, this condition is called latent TB.
Meanwhile, if this Basil TB develops causing damage to lung tissue, it will then cause a
condition called active TB.
