May become either latent or active.]]> 2019-03-31 16:40:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sierrapetties/Tuberculosis/wish/346911926 sierrapetties https://padlet.com/sierrapetties/Tuberculosis/wish/346912068 95% of cases of TB become latent. This means you do not show many to any symptoms. If you have latent TB, you are not contagious.]]> 2019-03-31 16:41:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sierrapetties/Tuberculosis/wish/346912068 sierrapetties https://padlet.com/sierrapetties/Tuberculosis/wish/346912077 5% of people who are infected with TB get active TB. This makes your lung tissues die overtime and the Ghon Focus grows. Some of bacilli will not stay contained in the macrophages and spread to the regional lymph nodes. The infected lymph nodes and the granuloma together are called a Ghon Complex. Dissemination also occurs where the infection may grow to other parts of the body such as the liver, brain, and skin. Millets, or small spots, may start to appear on the body. This is called Miliary Tuberculosis. Someone may also get Tuberculosis Pneumonia.]]> 2019-03-31 16:41:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sierrapetties/Tuberculosis/wish/346912077 sierrapetties https://padlet.com/sierrapetties/Tuberculosis/wish/346912274 - The bacilli must be very small to travel from the bronchi to the alveoli
- Macrophages (white blood cells) take in the bacilli where they multiply
- Macrophages then clump together and form a granuloma
- A large granuloma is called a Ghon Focus ]]> 2019-03-31 16:43:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sierrapetties/Tuberculosis/wish/346912274 sierrapetties https://padlet.com/sierrapetties/Tuberculosis/wish/346913699 Having latent TB does not mean you are good for the rest of your life. TB may become active at any time once you contract it. 5% of people with latent TB develop progressive secondary infection. ]]> 2019-03-31 16:52:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sierrapetties/Tuberculosis/wish/346913699 sierrapetties https://padlet.com/sierrapetties/Tuberculosis/wish/346916290 If TB is active someone may take antibiotics to help slow down the progression of the TB. They will only work if they are taken on a constant basis.]]> 2019-03-31 17:06:43 UTC https://padlet.com/sierrapetties/Tuberculosis/wish/346916290 sierrapetties https://padlet.com/sierrapetties/Tuberculosis/wish/346916574 Multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis, MDR, is a rare type of TB.
