Means that you have tuberculosis(TB), and you have it a lot.

No, Tuberculosis can be caught by anyone of any age.

There are basically two ways that you can deal with someone who has tuberculosis. This is a highly virulent disease and needs to have appropriate techniques taken in order to make sure that other patients and people do NOT contract the virus. 1) You can put the patient into isolation, and all staff and all visitors MUST wear a face mask, gowns, and gloves, and when they leave the isolation, they MUST put all of the products into the garbage, and then thoroughly wash his or her hands. 2) You can put a mask on the patient, and then the people who visit won't need to wear a face mask, or gown, but gloves are still adviseable with the fact that the person who has tuberculosis, can also have a positive skin test, meaning that all of the things that the patient touches you're still at risk of picking up the virus. It doesn't matter which way you decide to do it, but you MUST wash your hands, and sanitize them with the hand santizer, as well, as promptly and thoroughly washing any part of your clothes etc., that might have come into contact with any sort of virus from the air droplets, or when the person coughs. Also those people who work on the patient, and who visit. should be notified on the door prior to going in, to their room, or to an isolation ward, a sign should be up warning them that this patient has TB, and safety gear precaution is in place.

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.
