what are the causes symptoms and methods of prevention and cure of Tuberculosis explain in detail
Answers
Causes:-
Tuberculosis is caused by bacteria that spread from person to person through microscopic droplets released into the air. This can happen when someone with the untreated, active form of tuberculosis coughs, speaks, sneezes, spits, laughs or sings. Although tuberculosis is contagious, it's not easy to catch.
Symptoms:-
The bacterium can spread through only people with active TB infections. Sneezing, coughing or even talking can release the bacteria in the air, which can infect people who are breathing the same air. Additional symptoms can also show if the disease has spread beyond the chest and lungs.
Answer:
A person who has the active disease in their lungs can spread it through the air. “Active” means the TB germs are multiplying and spreading in your body. If you’re in close contact with someone who has it, you can get it. That’s why doctors advise those who have active TB disease to stay home and away from other people as much as possible, until they’re no longer infectious.
Prevention:
Take all of your medicines as they’re prescribed, until your doctor takes you off them.
Keep all your doctor appointments.
Always cover your mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Seal the tissue in a plastic bag, then throw it away.
Wash your hands after coughing or sneezing.
Don’t visit other people and don’t invite them to visit you.
Stay home from work, school, or other public places.
Use a fan or open windows to move around fresh air.
Don’t use public transportation.
