Tuberculosis (TB) Management
Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious infectious disease that mainly affects the lungs but can also involve other parts of the body. It spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. With timely diagnosis and proper treatment, TB is completely curable and manageable.
Symptoms
Common symptoms include persistent cough lasting more than two weeks, fever, night sweats, weight loss, fatigue, and sometimes coughing up blood. In cases of extra-pulmonary TB, symptoms may vary depending on the affected area.
Types
TB can be classified as pulmonary TB (affecting the lungs) and extra-pulmonary TB (affecting organs like lymph nodes, bones, or brain). It may also be drug-sensitive or drug-resistant, which requires specialized treatment planning.
Treatment and Process
Treatment involves a structured course of anti-tuberculosis medications taken over several months. The process begins with proper diagnosis through tests such as chest imaging and laboratory investigations. A personalized treatment plan is created based on the type and severity of TB. Regular follow-ups are essential to monitor progress and ensure complete recovery.
