One of the common diseases around the world is tuberculosis - a disease caused by bacteria - tuberculosis bacilli. This disease is characterized by the presence of foci of inflammation in various organs and tissues of the body, such as the lungs, lymph nodes, skin, bones and other tissues. Tuberculosis bacilli are the microorganisms that cause this disease.
As a rule, tuberculosis bacteria live in a latent state in the body of people and animals. However, in some people the bacteria can become active and cause the disease. The main factors contributing to the development of tuberculosis are weak immunity and poor quality of nutrition. In addition, tuberculosis can be transmitted through contact with sick people or animals and through airborne droplets.
Symptoms of tuberculosis are similar to other lung diseases such as bronchitis, pneumonia and pneumonia, but are most often characterized by rapid weight loss and chest pain. The main methods for diagnosing tuberculosis include sputum analysis for the presence of tuberculosis bacilli in a bascinogram. If the results are positive, antibiotics are prescribed to fight the bacteria. Treatment of tuberculosis requires a lot of time and effort, so it is important to consult a doctor promptly and begin treatment.
Unfortunately, tuberculosis still remains a very serious problem, especially among socially disadvantaged and poor populations. Moreover, developing countries are facing the problem of tuberculosis disease due to the migration of other countries where tuberculosis is highly prevalent.
The development of tuberculosis causes an increased risk of developing severe complications, including chronic tuberculosis, sepsis and respiratory infections.
