Dear Student,

Tuberculosis is a type of communicable, infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The bacterium primarily affects lungs, but may spread to other body parts also. The disease is characterized by the following symptoms:

  • Cough (usually with mucus)
  • Coughing up blood
  • Excessive sweating, especially at night
  • Fatigue
  • Fever
  • Weight loss
  • Breathing difficulty
  • Chest pain
  • Wheezing
Treatment: The BCG vaccine (Bacille Calmette Guerin vaccine) is used for vaccination. Treatment includes a wide range of antibiotics over a long period of time.The most effective treatment strategy is however, the DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment, Short term).
