Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, primarily affecting the lungs. Dr. Rachna Kashyap Singh warns that TB is highly contagious and spreads through airborne droplets. Symptoms include chronic cough, weight loss, night sweats, and fever. Early detection through TB skin tests, chest X-rays, and sputum tests is crucial for effective treatment. Dr. Rachna Kashyap Singh stresses the importance of a complete antibiotic course to prevent drug-resistant TB. Vaccination, proper hygiene, and regular medical check-ups can help in controlling TB transmission.
