the body is trying to expell the tb bacteria.

The discovery was made by the French Calmette and Guerin who instituted the basis for the vaccine against tuberculosis by using a low virulence Tb bacteria vaccine. The last step needed in the therapy of tuberculosis was made in the middle of the Second World War when chemotherapy was invented.

The aging process itself may weaken the body's immune system, which is then less able to ward off the tubercle bacillus. Finally, bacteria that have lain dormant for some time in elderly persons may be reactivated and cause illness.

what kinds of precations are necssary in tuberculosis

Dr. Robert Koch discovered the tuberculosis bacillus

Yes, one can contract TB from inhaling the infected particles from someone who has TB, so therefore kissing someone with TB will definitely give you the disease.

Sickle cell is an inherited blood disorder. It is a illness that you are born with.

It is a bacterial illness, contracted by consuming food or water infected with human faeces containing the bacterium Salmonella thyphi.

Tuberculosis is named for the bacterium that causes it, "mycobacterium tuberculosis", which was first "seen" by Robert Koch, a German physician. Tuberculosis used to be called "consumption".

Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by a closely related family of Mycobacterium, usually M. bovis or M. tuberculosis. TB is spread through both unpasteurized milk and through aerosolized droplets expelled from the lungs of infected individuals, human and animal. Most developed countries have a TB eradication program in place, but there are multiple wildlife reservoirs (white-tailed deer in the US, badgers in the UK) that are significantly hindering progress towards total eradication.

For tuberculosis: it is transmitted by droplets, i.e. coughing or sneezing.

For pneumonia: viral pneumonia, again, droplets. Bacterial pneumonia, normal body bacteria from the skin and mucous membranes, travel to the lungs and cause infection in the presence of fluid in the lungs, like there would be if you were congested.

In all instances, having a suppressed immune system can increase the chances of getting the disease/illness.

No TB is not genetically transmitted. TB is transmitted through airborne pathogens that are breathed in to the lungs.

the most common strain that causes tuberculosis in humans is Mycobacterium tuberculosis. there are also other strains, but in terms of incidence, they do not cause much damage in humans. examples of this is Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium africanum. these strains are more common in animals.

SDS Tuberculosis Sanatorium was created in 1948.

about 250 million people died of tuberculosis. - - - 100 million people died of TB throughout all of the 1900s, according to a reference cited in Wikipedia. But the current fatality rate is much higher, with about 2 million dying every year, worldwide, from TB.

Primary complex is another name for tuberculosis (TB). Drugs can treat this condition, some of those are: isoniazid (Laniazid, Nydrazid), rifampin (Rifadin, Rimactane), pyrazinamide (pms-Pyrazinamide, Tebrazid) and ethambutol (Myambutol) - taken over at least a six month period.

There are multiple reasons:

-TB is highly contagious and can be spread from the patient to the healthcare worker and from the healthcare work to other patients.

-It is spread through the air as small particles.

-TB treatment MUST be completed fully. In other words, the medication used to treat TB has become less effective in treating the pathogen because patients are not taking the medication properly. This has lead to highly resistant strains of TB.

-Highly resistant strains pose a higher risk for infecting healthcare works and other patients.

*Patients should take medication the same time every day and for the full amount of time it is prescribed.

TB is an ancient infectious disease that has been around for over 30, 000 years. It is Caused by infection from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and in most cases affects the lungs. It is found worldwide. The bacilli spores are transmitted through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes, but you have to spend quite a long time with an infected person in order to catch TB. It cannot be transmitted by objects such as bed linen or clothes, although it is possible to contract TB by drinking unpasteurised milk products from an infected cow.

The organ that is damaged if a person has Tuberculosis (TB) is the lungs.
