TUBERCULOSIS

since my mother had a tuberculosis we wonder where did it came from,, we ask the doctor whats the cause of tuberculosis, he said that Tuberculosis is a disease caused by an infection with the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The disease is more common in areas of the world where poverty, malnutrition, poor general health and social disruption are present.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.The bacteria that cause the disease are inhaled in the form of microscopic droplets that come from a person with tuberculosis. When coughing, speaking or sneezing, the small droplets are expelled into the air. They dry out quickly, but the bacteria itself can remain airborne for hours. However, the tuberculosis bacteria are killed when exposed to ultraviolet light, including sunlight. We suspect that it was from the air since our neighbor had it disease.

Typical signs of tuberculosis are:chronic or persistent cough and sputum production. If the disease is at an advanced stage the sputum will contain blood,fatigue,lack of appetite,weight loss,fever,night sweats.
