Tuberculosis
By : Adnan Hailat
Introduction
Tuberculosis (TB) is a highly
contagious bacterial infection caused
by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
It primarily affects the lungs but can also
impact other parts of the body. And it’s a
major problem in developing countries .
Understanding TB
Symptoms
TB symptoms can include persistent
cough,chest pain, fatigue,weight loss,
and fever.It's crucial to recognize these
signs for early intervention and
management of the disease.
Where does it
come from?
 Closed contact with someone
having active tuberculosis infection
 HIV infection
 Cancer and organ transplant
surgery
 Diabetic mellitus
 Chronic renal Failure
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Diagnosing TB
Accurate diagnosis of TB involves
chest X-rays, sputum tests, and skin
tests like the Mantoux test.Early
detection is vital to prevent the
spread of the disease.
Treatment Approaches
Tuberculosis treatment typically
involves a combination of antibiotics,
such as isoniazid, rifampin, and
ethambutol, taken for several months.
Adherence to the prescribed regimen is
vital to ensure complete eradication of
the infection and prevent drug
resistance..
Drug-Resistant TB
The emergence of drug-
resistant TB poses a significant
challenge.
Drug-resistant tuberculosis occurs
when the bacteria no longer respond
to standard antibiotics. requiring
more prolonged and complex drug
regimens. Prevention involves strict
adherence to medication schedules
and global efforts to curb antibiotic
misuse
Preventing TB Spread
Preventing tuberculosis involves
vaccination (BCG), identifying and
treating latent infections, and
ensuring proper ventilation in
crowded settings. Public health
measures, education, and early
detection contribute to controlling the
spread, fostering a comprehensive
approach to tuberculosis prevention
Global Impact of TB
TB continues to have a profound
impact on global health, particularly in
developing countries.Addressing TB
requires international collaboration,
increased funding, and sustained
research efforts.
Thanks!
