It spreads through the body and enters the blood flow affecting all of the body systems.]]> 2017-02-14 15:38:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jasonlukaszczyk2023/TB_PSA_by_6th_Grade/wish/153750845 jasonlukaszczyk2023 https://padlet.com/jasonlukaszczyk2023/TB_PSA_by_6th_Grade/wish/153753703 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.]]> 2017-02-14 15:45:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jasonlukaszczyk2023/TB_PSA_by_6th_Grade/wish/153753703 jasonlukaszczyk2023 https://padlet.com/jasonlukaszczyk2023/TB_PSA_by_6th_Grade/wish/153761042 2017-02-14 15:59:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jasonlukaszczyk2023/TB_PSA_by_6th_Grade/wish/153761042 maozyoav2023 https://padlet.com/jasonlukaszczyk2023/TB_PSA_by_6th_Grade/wish/154030044 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. ]]> 2017-02-15 15:07:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jasonlukaszczyk2023/TB_PSA_by_6th_Grade/wish/154030044 juddblackstone2023 https://padlet.com/jasonlukaszczyk2023/TB_PSA_by_6th_Grade/wish/154031799 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. ]]> 2017-02-15 15:11:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jasonlukaszczyk2023/TB_PSA_by_6th_Grade/wish/154031799 maozyoav2023 https://padlet.com/jasonlukaszczyk2023/TB_PSA_by_6th_Grade/wish/154032007 1.

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.

There are rare strains of Tuberculosis that are immune to the effects of the vaccines and medication.

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.]]> 2017-02-15 15:22:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jasonlukaszczyk2023/TB_PSA_by_6th_Grade/wish/154036666 maozyoav2023 https://padlet.com/jasonlukaszczyk2023/TB_PSA_by_6th_Grade/wish/154037126 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.]]> 2017-02-15 15:23:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jasonlukaszczyk2023/TB_PSA_by_6th_Grade/wish/154037126 juddblackstone2023 https://padlet.com/jasonlukaszczyk2023/TB_PSA_by_6th_Grade/wish/154038140 In the 19th century, 25% of the deaths in Europe were caused by TB.
