Tuberculosis (TB) 2022, The fact that news about new variants is coming out every day has not slowed the spread of Corona. Speaking of India, the corona epidemic has reached an endemic level, but behind the scenes, many other diseases have spread. The most common cause of coronary heart disease is an increase in heart and lung disease tuberculosis (TB) in humans with immunodeficiency.
According to health experts, the number of TB patients is also increasing due to corona. Pulmonary TB is considered one of the most common infectious diseases. However, TB not only affects the lungs but also affects other parts of the body. TB found in other organs is called extrapulmonary tuberculosis(TB).
However, extrapulmonary tuberculosis is not contagious. According to WHO, about 20-30% of people diagnosed with TB have extrapulmonary TB. Another form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis is pelvic tuberculosis, which can lead to infertility in women.
The most worrying thing is that the number of tuberculosis patients has increased by 20-30% since the coronavirus. Even in this context, minors become victims of tuberculosis. At the same time, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), 4,100 people worldwide die from tuberculosis every day, 1.22 million people are affected each year. The disease affects all parts of the body.

Treatment of TB:
First you need to recognize the symptoms. Sometimes we do a sputum test to check for pneumonia, but if the diagnosis is not confirmed, bronchoscopy is needed.
However, the best way to protect yourself from tuberculosis is to check the bed at the nearest hospital, and your doctor will prescribe you medication on the first day of your tuberculosis diagnosis.
This drug enters the patient’s body and destroys the tuberculosis tissue. Prevents the spread to other parts of the body.
Tuberculosis bacteria enter the body and slowly travel to the lungs.
When the body’s immune system is weakened, TB bacteria grow rapidly and slowly reach the brain.
After that, the condition becomes serious.
