Tuberculosis patients sweat at night for a few reasons; first, they have a serious disease which affects their breathing. If they are not breathing normally, their lungs must work extra hard to both inhale, and exhale. Since the lungs are working so much harder than they should be, the work causes the patient to sweat. What some people don't know, is that tuberculosis isn't merely a lung condition which causes excessive coughing. The respiratory system can have an impact on virtually any given part of the body, including stable internal conditions (temperature of the interior body.) Someone with tuberculosis may experience the following, as a result of the respiratory system being a vital part of health.
Nausea
Sudden rise in temperature
Feverish symptoms
Dizziness
Loud, deep, and painful cough
Chest pain
Feeling of bloating in head area.
I hope this answers your question!
It is a contagious disease that kills people. Not very helpful.
Yes.
Tuberculosis and spread just when a person with the disease coughs, because of the bacteria they send into the air. If they directly kiss you, especially with a French kiss, you are prone to getting the disease, too.
Africa is the home to 11% of the world's population yet it carries 29% of the global tuberculosis cases and 34% of related deaths. As a disease TB is the second most deadly in the world, killing roughly 5000 people every day, which is approximately 1.8 million a year. If we let TB spread without check-ups for the next 20 years, 1 billion new infections would occur, 230 million of which would develop active TB, and 35 million would die
Tuberculosis is a disease caused by an infection with the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
During the 19th century, up to 25 per cent of deaths in Europe were caused by this disease. The death toll began to fall as living standards improved at the start of the 20th century, and from the 1940s, effective medicines were developed.
However, there are now more people in the world with TB than there were in 1950, and 3 million individuals will die this year from this disease - mainly in less developed countries.
The disease is more common in areas of the world where poverty, malnutrition, poor general health and social disruption are present.
In the UK, too, the number of TB cases is again rising. Alcoholics, HIV-positive individuals, some recent immigrants and healthcare workers are at increased risk.
The disease is most commonly found in places such as hostels for the homeless, prisons, and centres for immigrants arriving from areas with high rates of HIV infection or inadequate health provision.
tuberculosis disease affects the cells of the lungs. They infect them with the tuberculosis bacilli making the host vulnerable to other infections in the body.
Skin allergy testing is usually done by placing a series of adhesive patches on the skin containing potential allergens, or allergy-causing substances.
Tuberculosis reproduces through the air and often on contact. It is spread through coughing, mucus, sneezing, and reproduces very quickly.
Both are harmful. TB is an infectuous disease- meaning you catch it from someone else. It is caused by a mycobacterium, and usually infects the lungs. If not treated, can be fatal, but there are drugs that can cure it.
Cancer is generally not a contagious disease, and affects many different parts of the body, depending on what type of cancer. Some cancers can be treated with good results, others are harder to treat. There are too many different forms of cancer to give a simple answer- sorry.
Tuberculosis, commonly known as TB, is an infectious disease caused by infection with the Mycobacterium tuberculosisbacterium.

TB is a communicable disease. A communicable disease is a disease that can be passed on in one way or another from a Carrier of the disease to some one else. and is usually the result of a virus or bacterial infection.
The name comes from the small lumps or "tubercules" that form in the lungs.
"Tubercule" is the diminuitive of the Latin word "tuber" that comes to us unchanged to describe a type of fleshy root in English. It could be translated literally as "small potato".
I don't think that you can prevent this disease so to speak, the only way would be to not get exposed to it in the first place. So if you know someone that has TB avoid contact. This is partly true, and partly false. Having been exposed to tuberculosis and having inhaled tuberculosis germs, one can prevent tuberculosis; meaning tuberculosis disease, or TB by taking preventive medicine, primarily isoniazid or INH supplemented by vitamin B6. The course of treatment is typically 6 months. As the previous person commented, if you never get exposed to TB in the first place, there would be nothing to prevent. Persons that breathe in TB germs and do not have active tuberculosis disease have latent tuberculosis infection, or LTBI. The preventive meds, or INH would be prescribed to persons with LTBI in order to prevent them from developing tuberculosis disease, or TB.
Yes and No! TB is most common in the lungs but can affect the spine, skin, genitals, kidneys and brain
Tuberculosis seems to be more common in the right lung rather than the left lung due to the short right trachea.
Anatomically the left trachea is longer than the right one due to the position of the heart and the major vessels. As a result microbes can more easily navigate to the right lung rather than the left lung.
because the internal replobis is disturbed and causes the chest to feel pain
Tuberculosis is a bacterial disease caused mainly by mycobacterium in humans. This disease usually attacks lungs.
There are several different medications that are used to treat primary complex. Some of these medications include Isoniazid, Rifampin, Pyrazinamide, and Ethambutol.
