With TB

When people have Latent TB, people have the TB bacteria, but the bacteria is not ready to start working its magic. However, when the body has regular TB bacteria, the body displays symptoms.

There was an epidemic in 1854 in Europe, where 1/4 of the people died. 1970 was the first outbreak of drug-resistant TB in the USA. In 1993, a global emergency was called because of the alarming statistics about how many people had active Tuberculosis. In 2002, the infected amount peaked in the USA. In 2005, the worldwide peak was hit. In 2012, the first fully resistant strain of TB was found in India.

There are many different organizations that have goals to somehow help with TB, like finding a cure or getting the vaccine to middle and low-income countries. Two examples are TB Alliance, which is a not-for-profit organization for getting vaccines to people who need it. TB Alert raises awareness and does tests to see if someone is infected with TB.

Yes, the bacteria is spread by sneezing, coughing, speaking, singing, etc. The disease is spread through the air but the disease is only contagious when it is active. The human body usually won't get TB unless they are close to the person who is infected.

In the 19th century, 25% of the deaths in Europe were caused by TB. In addition, an estimated 1.5 million people will die from Tuberculosis this year.

The entire body is affected by TB, but the respiratory system is impacted the most. The lungs fill with blood and the immune system tries to cough it up. The lungs can collapse or the patient can die from blood loss. The circulatory system is the second most impacted, because of how connected the two systems are. This is effective because the heart and lungs work together to help the whole body live.

How the Immune System Remsponds to Tuberculosis.

# data[].attributes.body
Our immune system's job is to keep us safe from diseases, but Tuberculosis is a bit stronger than the immune system. Tuberculosis, when entering the body, will go through blood cells, getting ready to attack the body. When ready, it bursts out of the blood cells and begins to do its work. It sends blood into the lungs and makes the immune system force the body to cough the blood up to keep the lungs safe. But, since the body is losing blood and the lungs are constantly coughing, the body begins to become weak from the loss of blood and the lung start to shrivel up.

Tuberculosis is evolving very fast. There are rare strains of Tuberculosis that are immune to the effects of the vaccines and medication. Although there are a few drugs and vaccines, but not all of them can fully stop Tuberculosis

# data[].attributes.body
In 2015, 10.4 million people had tuberculosis, active and inactive. In that same year, 1.8 million people died from tuberculosis.

1. India
2. Indonesia
3. China
4. Nigeria
5. Pakistan
6. South Africa
All six of these countries have poverty or problems with the economy and are unable to get vaccinated. All six areas like China are overpopulated giving it a challenge to not spread the disease.

At the moment there is an indefinite cure for Tuberculosis but there is a vaccine that helps prevent TB. Like all vaccines, it does not always work. There also is medication for Tuberculosis that helps the immune system fight back. Theoretically though, there is no cure because the medications does not always work. Under this square is the drugs and medicine for Tuberculosis.

1. Only about 10% of the people with tuberculosis actually develop active tuberculosis. Active tuberculosis is the only time that people actually develop symptoms.
2. Tuberculosis is one of the top 10 causes of death in middle- and low- income countries.
3. Frédéric Chopin had died of tuberculosis and his whole life was  ruined.

There is a vaccine for Tuberculosis. It is called Bacille Calmette-Guerin or (BCG). BCG is given to young kids. However, it does not work as a cure once you get Tuberculosis. With this vaccine, Tuberculosis is less common and there is a possibility that in many years, Tuberculosis bacteria will be extinct. However, people in third world countries do not usually get the vaccine, because of shipment and price problems. Even if you have the vaccine, you can still become infected. Once infected, people should visit a doctor.

Tuberculosis bacteria have very strong instincts. They allow themselves to get eaten by the white blood cells. They make sure they aren't digested, then when there are enough, they burst out of the white blood cell, killing it. They then use the dead cells to create things called granuloma.

Terrible chest pain is a sign of tuberculosis. The pain stays and then people have chronic pain in their chests. After that, people start to cough up blood. This will come out through their lungs. The reason is, that they start to collect blood and the immune system forces out the blood, supposedly to "help." A stinging pain will appear, causing people to be very uncomfortable. The chronic pain will also progress and become worse every day. Night sweats, shortness of breath, swollen lymph nodes, and weight loss are other common symptoms.

Tuberculosis is a bacterial disease that affects the lungs. It spreads through the body and enters the blood flow affecting all of the body systems.
