What Actually is Tuberculosis?

Tuberculosis is a disease which, is caused by a specific bacteria (Mycobacterium Tuberculosis) and it is spread through lymph nodes and bloodstream to different parts of the human body.  This infection generally attacks your lungs. The majority of the victims of tuberculosis do not see clear symptoms as bacteria that cause this disease may live in an inactive form in the human body. On the other hand, when your immune system becomes weak, like in patients with AIDS, TB bacteria could become active. When TB bacteria become active they can cause the death of the affected tissue of your body organs. Active bacteria of tuberculosis are quite dangerous if not treated timely.

What are the Symptoms of Tuberculosis?

When we talk about the symptoms of tuberculosis then we should keep in mind that its symptoms generally depend on where its bacteria are developing in your body. The symptoms of this infection may include:

• An irritating and severe cough which, lasts for a month or even persists for more than a month.
• At times continuous pain in your chest is also a sign of TB disease.
• Coughing up blood is a clear sign of tuberculosis and in this situation, you should immediately consult a doctor.
• Sometimes weakness or fatigue may be due to tuberculosis.
• Sudden weight loss is also an alarming situation and it is better to have a proper checkup for personal satisfaction in this situation.
• If you are having no or very low appetite then it is also an indication of TB disease.
• Prolonged fever.

Possible Causes of Tuberculosis:

TB is caused by a bacterium named Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It has been observed that the bacteria which, are responsible for this infection spread from one person to another via microscopic drops liberated into the air. These bacteria enter into the air when a person who is suffering from this disease coughs, talks, sneezes, spits, or shouts.

Tuberculosis is a transferable disease, and normally people become the victim of this infectious disease through a person whom they are living with. Many people receive this disease from their office or college fellows. Patients with active tuberculosis are not harmful to others if they have got proper treatment for about half a month.

How is TB diagnosed?

Tuberculosis is diagnosed with the help of a skin test or blood test.

When the symptoms of tuberculosis are revealed and you are looking for a test to diagnose the disease then your doctor will carry out the test by injecting the minute quantity of a liquid known as tuberculin into your skin. He might ask you to visit him again within two or three days so that he may check whether a bump was developed in the area where the fluid was injected or not. He would measure the bump and would give you his findings of the test. If your test is positive then it means you have become the victim of tuberculosis bacteria.

The blood test that is carried out to diagnose this disease identifies how our immune system responds to the bacteria which is responsible for the infection and the positive result of this test indicates that you are affected by this problem. Then some more tests like X-rays and coughed-up mucus will be taken to confirm the disease.
