Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, primarily affecting the lungs but capable of spreading to other parts of the body. In this video, we explore everything you need to know about TB, including its symptoms like persistent cough, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. We’ll also discuss how TB spreads, the difference between latent and active TB, and the diagnostic methods such as skin tests, IGRA blood tests, and chest X-rays.
Learn about the latest treatment approaches, including antibiotics for drug-sensitive TB and strategies for managing multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB). We also highlight the importance of directly observed therapy (DOT) to ensure treatment success and prevent resistance. Don’t miss key prevention tips, such as BCG vaccination, proper isolation protocols, and the use of N-95 masks for safety.
