Tuberculosis

If you mean how it can "transfer" from person to person. It's through droplet spread, (e.g. when a person with PTB sneezes, coughs, on you, etc)

Less than an elephant.

No, but isoniazid can. Please contact your health care provider urgently for advice specific to your situation.

In order to find information on tuberculosis, the best place to look is in a medical magazine or in a doctors office, as both will be the foremost source of information regarding the topic.

The full form of BCG vaccine is Bacillus Calmette-Guerin.

It's likely that it is very minimal that you will get tuberculosis, as it is not a water-borne disease.

In normal language it means the use of drugs to prevent the disease. Treatment in advance of illness is clearly preventative medicine. Chemoprophylaxis is merely one avenue that may reduce illness risk.

advantages: none

disadvantages: it can kill you, it is rapidly becoming resistant to antibiotic treatment

The outcome of tuuberculosis, is passing on to someone else by coughing, it is a disease of the lungs. it has to be treated te full course, and it also causes death.

The only thing I've heard the skin test for tuberculosis called is the tuberculin skin test.

Tuberculosis is an ancient disease. Researchers have found skeletal remains of prehistoric people that are over 6000 years old that show signs of TB. Its believed that is started in the time period known as the Late Middle Ages.

The human body can hardly fight bacteria that cause tuberculosis, mostly Mycobacterium tuberculosis, or other species of the Mycobacterium family. These bacteria are resistant for lots of ordinary antibiotics (because they live inside the human cells), so special drugs for TBC are developed. The standard therapy is a combination therapy, usually three drugs such as isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol to prevent resistance, followed by a prolonged therapy, minimum 6 months period which is necessary to eradicate the bacteria.

Vaccinations are usually done in the upper arm. It does leave a small scar.

I think the answer is in 1906 and it was in india.

I think that might be because TB germs are in all bodily fluids. The person might not even know that they contracted the disease fron the cigarette because it takes a fair amount of time for it to spread and start causing illness. The disease is slow growing but insidious and makes the person become immunodeficient. They will then be far more susceptible to other opportunistic illnesses and infections

imune complexes

I have never seen it without the l as in tbl but perhaps a typo? tbl = thru back loop which means to knit it thru the back loop

Paradigm is not an appropriate word in this context, tuberculosis is an illness and therefore has no 'world view', philosophical framework or ulterior purpose.

yes but it is uncommon

Tuberculosis affects animals not plants. Tuberculosis is generally known as an infection of the lungs but can also affect the central nervous system, the circulatory system, lymphatic system, skin, genitourinary system, gastrointestinal system, bones, and joints.

medical term. tuberculosis

There are few different kinds of pneumonia. So obviously the treatment and life cycle are different. Names of illness are representing the source of infection. For example CAP pneumonia stands for Community Acquired Pneumonia, HAP - Hospital Acquired Pneumonia. There few others such are Aspiration and Atypical Pneumonia.

Aspiration type of pneumonia can occur you inhale food, drink, vomit, or saliva from your mouth into your lungs. This may happen if something disturbs your normal gag reflex, such as a brain injury, swallowing problem, or excessive use of alcohol or drugs. Aspiration pneumonia can cause pus to form in a cavity in the lung. When this happens, it's called a lung abscess (AB-ses). THE IMPORTANT CHANGE AFTER THE TREATMENT IS TO STOP USING ALCOHOL, TOBACO AND/OR NON MEDICAL DRUGS (NARCOTICS).

Atypical Pneumonia is caused by several types of bacteria - Legionella

, mycoplasma pneumonia, and Chlamydophila pneumoniae - cause atypical pneumonia, a type of CAP. Atypical pneumonia is passed from person to person. The treatment is medicine.

There is another form called PCP. It is a kind of pneumonia caused by bacteria called Pneumocystis jiroveci. Most people infected with P. jiroveci don't get pneumonia because their immune systems are healthy and strong. People whose immune systems are weak because of HIV infection or cancer can get PCP.

PCP is less common than it used to be, but it's still the most common serious infection in people who have advanced HIV disease in the US.

•Bronchopneumonia

•Nosocomial pneumonia. This is another name for hospital-acquired pneumonia.

•Walking pneumonia. This refers to pneumonia that's mild enough that you're not bedridden.

•Double pneumonia. This refers to pneumonia that affects both lobes of the lungs.

In medical terminology, it is known as cryptorchidism. In the fetal life, testes are abdominal organs from where they descend to scrotum before birth. The common term is "undescended testicle".

A healthy diet is vital for anyone who has TB; foods should include plenty of vegetables and fruits, lean protein, and unsaturates fats.

No longer than 24 hrs. It can become contaminated.
