Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious bacterial infection that primarily affects the lungs but can also impact other parts of the body. It spreads through airborne droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes, making early detection and proper management essential to prevent transmission and serious health complications. TB often begins with subtle symptoms such as persistent cough, mild fever, night sweats, fatigue, and weight loss, which many people may overlook or mistake for common illnesses. Without timely medical intervention, TB can progress to severe lung damage or spread to other organs, posing significant health risks. Effective management requires accurate diagnosis through tests such as chest X-rays, sputum examination, and molecular diagnostics, followed by a structured treatment plan with appropriate antibiotics. Patient adherence to the full course of treatment is critical to ensure complete recovery and to prevent drug resistance. In addition to medication, support with nutrition, lifestyle, and monitoring is important for successful TB management.
