Myths & Facts of Pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB)



 Being misinformed can cost you so always know your facts!

Although your body may harbor the bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB), your immune system usually can prevent you from becoming sick.
• Latent TB: Latent TB, also called inactive TB or TB infection, isn't contagious. It can turn into active TB, so treatment is important for the person with latent TB and to help control the spread of TB. An estimated 2 billion people have latent TB.
• Active TB: This condition makes you sick and in most cases can spread to others. It can occur in the first few weeks after infection with the TB bacteria, or it might occur years later.
if you have a fever, unexplained weight loss, drenching night sweats or a persistent cough, consult Dr. Arunesh Kumar and book an appointment immediately!
