At that time, TB claimed the lives of approximately one in every seven individuals in the United States and Europe. Dr. Koch's revelation marked a pivotal moment in the ongoing fight against this fatal illness, as it provided a crucial foundation for its control and potential eradication.]]> 2023-07-17 01:34:14 UTC https://padlet.com/annykatemiller2004/fx7gfp7q9v53b9m1/wish/2645972963 annykatemiller2004 https://padlet.com/annykatemiller2004/fx7gfp7q9v53b9m1/wish/2645979109 During the initial phase known as the primary infection, the immune system's cells locate and capture the pathogens. Although the immune system has the ability to eliminate the pathogens entirely, some of them may still persist and reproduce even after being captured.
The majority of individuals do not experience any symptoms when they first become infected. However, a portion of people might exhibit flu-like symptoms, including but not limited to: Mild fever, Tiredness, and cough]]> 2023-07-17 01:41:09 UTC https://padlet.com/annykatemiller2004/fx7gfp7q9v53b9m1/wish/2645979109 annykatemiller2004 https://padlet.com/annykatemiller2004/fx7gfp7q9v53b9m1/wish/2645981313 Latent tuberculosis (TB) infection occurs after the primary infection and is characterized by the immune system forming a protective barrier around lung tissue to contain the TB germs. Although the germs remain in the body, they are kept under control by the immune system, resulting in no noticeable symptoms during this stage.]]> 2023-07-17 01:44:00 UTC https://padlet.com/annykatemiller2004/fx7gfp7q9v53b9m1/wish/2645981313 annykatemiller2004 https://padlet.com/annykatemiller2004/fx7gfp7q9v53b9m1/wish/2645987765 Active tuberculosis (TB) disease occurs when the immune system fails to control an infection. The infection caused by germs can affect the lungs or other areas of the body. While active TB disease may occur shortly after the initial infection, it typically manifests several months or even years after the initial latent TB infection.
The signs of active tuberculosis (TB) infection in the respiratory system typically start slowly and deteriorate over a period of several weeks. These symptoms may comprise:
-Cough
-Coughing up Blood
-Chest pain
-Pain with Breathing
-Fever
-Chills
-Night Sweats
-Weight Loss
-Loss of Appetite]]> 2023-07-17 01:51:20 UTC https://padlet.com/annykatemiller2004/fx7gfp7q9v53b9m1/wish/2645987765 annykatemiller2004 https://padlet.com/annykatemiller2004/fx7gfp7q9v53b9m1/wish/2646000695 Timely identification and intervention prove to be the most efficient approach in the prevention of tuberculosis. An individual who has contracted tuberculosis can potentially spread the disease to approximately 10-15 other individuals annually. However, once diagnosed with TB and commencing treatment, the majority of patients become non-infectious after a mere two weeks of taking the prescribed medication.]]> 2023-07-17 02:04:53 UTC https://padlet.com/annykatemiller2004/fx7gfp7q9v53b9m1/wish/2646000695 annykatemiller2004 https://padlet.com/annykatemiller2004/fx7gfp7q9v53b9m1/wish/2646024677 Tuberculosis has the potential to impact individuals of all ages. If a person is infected with TB but shows no signs of illness, there is an increased likelihood of developing TB disease under certain circumstances. These circumstances include having a co-existing HIV infection, being under the age of 5, being exposed to TB germs within the past 2 years, having underlying health conditions like diabetes that compromise the body's ability to fight off germs, engaging in alcohol or drug abuse, or having had inadequate treatment for TB disease in the past.

A person must have extended close contact with someone who has untreated TB lung disease in order to breathe in TB germs and become sick. ]]> 2023-07-17 02:32:43 UTC https://padlet.com/annykatemiller2004/fx7gfp7q9v53b9m1/wish/2646033082 annykatemiller2004 https://padlet.com/annykatemiller2004/fx7gfp7q9v53b9m1/wish/2646039443 https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/tuberculosis/symptoms-causes/syc-20351250

By using this medication, the disease-causing microorganisms are eliminated. The most typical preventative treatment is taking one daily dosage of the antibiotic isoniazid (INH) for six to nine months. If you have latent TB, you are not contagious.]]> 2023-07-17 02:43:24 UTC https://padlet.com/annykatemiller2004/fx7gfp7q9v53b9m1/wish/2646043453 annykatemiller2004 https://padlet.com/annykatemiller2004/fx7gfp7q9v53b9m1/wish/2646044718 If you have active TB illness, you will likely get treatment for six to twelve months with a mix of antibiotics. Isoniazid INH is frequently used in conjunction with the medications rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol to treat active TB. Even though you could start feeling better within a few weeks after taking the medication, TB treatment takes far longer than treating other bacterial diseases. To avoid getting sick again, making it harder to battle the illness in the future, or spreading the illness to others, you must continue taking your medicine as directed for the whole period your doctor advises. Drug-resistant TB may also result from not finishing your whole medication course.]]> 2023-07-17 02:44:47 UTC https://padlet.com/annykatemiller2004/fx7gfp7q9v53b9m1/wish/2646044718
