Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, primarily affecting the lungs but can spread to other parts of the body. The World Health Organization warns that despite efforts to reduce TB deaths, insufficient action is being taken to eliminate the disease by 2030. Management includes a regimen of anti-tubercular drugs, lifestyle modifications, and nursing support, with prevention strategies emphasizing hygiene and vaccination.

PRESENTED BY
ABHAY RAJPOOT

2. DEFINITION
It is infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and
characterized by the formation of tubercles (round nodules) or
granulomas in lungs.
It may be transmitted to other body parts such as meningitis, bones,
kidneys, lymph nodes.

3. Latent TB - the bacteria
remain in the body in an
inactive state. They cause
no symptoms and are not
contagious, but they can
become active.
Active TB - the bacteria
do cause symptoms and
can be transmitted to
others.

6. INCIDENCE
Tuberculosis (TB) remains the world's deadliest infectious disease
although global efforts have averted an estimated 54 million
tuberculosis (TB) deaths since 2000, the World Health
Organization (WHO) warned on Tuesday. WHO, in its latest 2018
Global TB Report, says countries are still not doing enough to end
TB by 2030 and calls for an unprecedented mobilization of
national and international commitments.

28. NURSING
DIAGNOSIS
 Ineffective airway clearance related to
copious tracheobronchial secretions
 Deficient knowledge about treatment regimen
and preventive health measures and related
ineffective individual management of the
therapeutic regimen (noncompliance)
 Activity intolerance related to fatigue, altered
nutritional status, and fever

29. PREVENTION
 Wash your hands after sneezing, coughing or holding your hands near
your mouth or nose.
 Cover your mouth with a tissue when you cough, sneeze or laugh.
Discard used tissues in a plastic bag, then seal and throw it away.
 Do not attend work or school.
 Avoid close contact with others.
 Sleep in a room away from other family members.
 Ventilate your room regularly. TB spreads in small closed spaces. Put a
fan in your window to blow out air that may contain bacteria
 Vaccination (BCG)
