Young children under 5
what age group is affected most by TB
People can get TB at any age. There are some children who also get TB infection during birth. Being an airborne disease, anyone who is exposed can get TB.
Latent TB can develop into Active TB. When the TB is latent, the mycobacteria causing the infection has been targeted and effectively "trapped" within calcified lumps in the affected organ / tissue. If the immune system becomes weakened for some reason (eg. old age, other disease) then the TB bacteria is often able to break through the lumps, and so becomes active.
the drinking age is 8. TB+D*
The usual age for the TB injection is between the ages 12 to 16. normally in year 8 to year 10. but if you miss you TB injection you can go to your local hospital and ask to book an appointment to get it done.
Babies are given the TB vaccine within days of their birth, usually in the maternity hospital.
TB is an airborne disease it tends to spread mostly through air, if the infected person simply coughs,sneezes,talks or even breathes the infection will be likely to be spread if a person inhales it then they'll be likely to have tb
the kidneys are probably the commonest site of extrapulmonary TB. There may, however, be few symptoms even though part of a kidney is destroyed. TB may spread to the bladder. In men, it may spread to the prostate gland and nearby structures.
The immune system attacks the foreign antigen as if it were any bacterial infection. The B-cell lymphocytes mark the TB with antibodies that helps it remember the bacteria in the future. The macrophage then consumes the TB bacteria and keeps it latent, and the TB is unable to infect the body or be contagious. However, if the immune system fails to contain the TB, or it becomes weakened by age, malnutrition or another disease like AIDS, the TB bacteria can escape and infect the body, which is why people can get TB during old age or without a TB infected person coming in contact with them.
