Abstract
Tuberculosis can affect virtually any organ system in the body and can be devastating if left untreated and it is becoming infectious thantherapies, Tuberculosis symptoms develops after the bacteria multiplyand people start to feel chest pain, coughing up blood-tinged phlem,excessive sweating especially at night, fatigue, fever and weight loss,Primary pulmonary tuberculosis typically manifests radiologically asparenchymal disease(Schiffman, no date). The active Tuberculosis caneffect nearly every organ in the body, I n children TB can possiblyattack the cerebrospin column and it will provoke meinigintis, Tuber-culosis can be treated only if patients follow their regime as directedtaking about 130 doses of the drugs, and by being watched by thehealth care, if they are taking their properly , checking if they are us-ing the first four line drugs, Isoniazed, ethambutol, pyrazinamid andrifampiein but they are affective if patioents fiinish the entire six tonine month course(Barry, Maija and Cheung), additionally multi drug-resistant TB(MDR-TB) are treatable, but they need therapy for up totwo years with second line Anti-TB drugs even though they have theside effects(Barry et el).The increasing prevalence of tuberculosis inboth immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals in re-cent years makes this disease a topic of universal concern. Becausetuberculosis demonstrates a variety of clinical and radiologic findingsand has a known propensity for dissemination from its primary site, itcan mimic numerous other disease entities(M. G. Harisnghani et el) Introduction
South Africa is ranked fifth out of 22 high burden countries that accountfor 80affective, means that South Africans should be aware of the risks and symptoms of getting the disease, Tuberculosis(TB) is considered to be poorpeople’s disease, but even those who have been vaccinated are at slight risk ofcontracting it, according to the World Organization Organization’s(WHO’s)global TB Report 2009, South Africa had nearly 460 000 new cases in 2007,with 948 case per 100 000 population( G.Anderson. 2011). The issue ofTubercolosis in South Africa is problematic, because of the high incidenceof HIV co-infections, with both diseases exacerbating the conditions causedby the other. In addition, many people’s non-adherence to their treatmentregimens means that more strains of drug-resistant TB. In an age when webelieve that we have the tools to conquer most diseases, the ancient scourgeof tuberculosis (TB) still causes 2 million deaths a year worldwide—morethan any other single infectious organism—reminding us that we still havea long way to go. Even equipped with drugs to treat TB effectively, wehaven’t managed to eradicate this deadly infection.What is the history oftuberculosis? And how has it managed to survive for so long? This sec-tion will answer these questions, plus describe the symptoms and treatmentoptions available for TB.
How it spread
How TB spread TB is spread through the air from one person to another.
The bacteria are put into the air when a person with TB disease of the lungsor throat coughs or sneezes. People nearby may breathe in these bacteriaand become infected.When a person breathes in TB bacteria, the bacteriacan settle in the lungs and begin to grow. From there, they move throughthe blood to other parts of the body, such as the kidney, spine, and brain.TBin the lungs or throat can be infectious. This means that the bacteria canbe spread to other people. TB in other parts of the body, such as the kidneyor spine, is usually not infectious. People with TB disease are most likelyto spread it to people they spend time with every day. This includes familymembers, friends, and coworkers.Turbecolosis (T.B) is an infectious diseasethat is likely to spread, if it happen that an infected person coughs, sneezeshouts or spits , TB affects lungs and body parts for example pleura , bones,unirary tracts, sexual organs and body kidneys caused ny a bacteria whosescientifical name is mycpobacterium turbecolosis (Schiffman, no date). It itwas discovered by a German Physician name Robert Koen and back thenthis infecthious disease was called consumpotion This disease is devastating .
Turbecolosis is a serious threat World Wide and it impacts are devastating,The World Organization estimate that a third of the world population isinfected with Mtb(Barry, Maija, Cheung, no date). Majority of 8 millionindividuals, who are the carriers Mtb will develop into an active T.B andcatch a person who is infected and he will probably infect 10 and 15 morepeople more in a year. TB also affect the countries, Turbecolosis will rob the world poorest countries to 3 trillion over the next coming years, sincethis divastating disease will force the countrioes to divert their attentionfrom other important issues that they are facing and spend much more onhealth care.Until the introduction of surgical techniques to remove infectedtissue and the development of x-rays to monitor the disease, doctors didn’thave great tools to treat TB.
