Tuberculosis is caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria which most commonly affects the lungs. It spreads through airborne droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Common symptoms include cough, fever, chills, night sweats and unintended weight loss. There are three stages of TB: exposure, latent infection where the person feels healthy but tests positive for TB, and active disease where the bacteria multiply causing symptoms and ability to spread. Treatment for drug-sensitive TB involves taking multiple antibiotics for 6 months while drug resistant TB requires longer treatment up to 2 years with additional drugs.

2. WHAT IS TUBERCULOSOIS (TB)
Is caused by a bacterium called mycobacterium
tuberculosis. The bacteria usually attack the lungs but
TB bacteria can attack any part of the body such as the
kidney, spine and brain. Not everyone infected the Tb
bacteria become sick.

3. HOW DO TB SYMPTOMS START
TB is caused by bacteria that spread from person to
person through microscopic droplets in to air this can
happen when someone with the untreated, active form
of tuberculosis coughs, speaks, sneezes, spits.

4. SIGN AND SYMPTOMS OF TB

6. STAGES OF TUBERCULOSIS
There three stage of (TB)
exposure latent
active
disease

7. EXPOSURE STAGE
This stage happens when a person has been in contact
with, or exposed to another person who has TB. The
exposed person will have a negative skin test, normal chest
X-ray and no sign or symptoms.

8. LATENT STAGE
Person with latent TB infection do not feel sick and do not
have any symptoms. They are infected with tuberculosis,
but do not have TB disease the only sign of TB is a positive
reaction to the tuberculosis skin test or TB blood test.

9. ACTIVE DISEASE STAGE
In active tuberculosis, the bacteria multiply in the
body, causing noticeable symptoms this is also
when the disease can spread to others.

10. HOW DO YOU KNOW IF TB IS ACTIVE
A positive or blood test means TB germs are in your body-
latent TB infection. If you have a positive test you will need a
chest X-ray to find out if the germs have caused any damage
in your lungs active TB disease. You maybe asked to cough
up sputum (mucus) from your lungs to check for TB germs.

11. CAN TB GO AWAY ON ITS OWN
Pulmonary tuberculosis(in the lung) frequently
goes away by itself but in more than half od
cases, the disease can return.

12. TREATMENT
treatment
Drug sensitive TB
Take 6 months
Drug resistant TB

5-6 drugs

13. DRUGS SENSITIVE TB
Drug susceptible TB is the opposite. If someone is infected
with TB bacteria that are fully susceptible it means that all of
the TB drugs will be effective so long as they are taken
properly. It still means that several drugs need to be taken
together to provide effective TB treatment.

14. THE DRUGS
Isoniazid(INH), vitampin(RIF), pyrazinamide(PZA)
And ethambutol(EMB).

15. DRUG RESISTANT TB
How do you know if TB is drug resistant. Drug resistant
can be detected using special laboratory tests which
test the bacteria for sensitive to the drugs or detect
resistant pattern. These tests can be molecular in type
(such as MTB/RIF).
