What is Tuberculosis?
Understanding Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It most commonly affects the lungs, although it can also affect other parts of the body. The infection may develop gradually, and symptoms can sometimes be mild in the early stages.
Early evaluation and appropriate treatment are important for managing tuberculosis and reducing the risk of complications and transmission. At Breathe Better Clinic, patients receive individualized assessment based on their symptoms, medical history, and diagnostic findings.
Common symptoms may include persistent cough, fever, night sweats, fatigue, loss of appetite, unexplained weight loss, chest discomfort, or coughing up blood. Depending on the clinical situation, investigations such as chest imaging, sputum examination, or other laboratory tests may be recommended. Treatment requires appropriate medicines prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional and regular follow-up to monitor progress and recovery.
Recognizing the Common Symptoms of Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis can develop gradually, and its symptoms may vary from person to person. Recognizing persistent or unusual symptoms early can help in seeking timely medical evaluation and appropriate care.
Persistent Cough
A cough that continues for several weeks and may produce mucus or sputum.
Fever
Ongoing or recurring fever, often accompanied by weakness or feeling unwell.
Night Sweats
Excessive sweating during sleep without an obvious environmental cause.
Unexplained Weight Loss
Losing weight without intentionally changing your diet or activity level.
Coughing Up Blood
Blood or blood-stained sputum may occur in some cases of pulmonary TB and requires medical evaluation.
Fatigue & Loss of Appetite
Persistent tiredness, weakness, and reduced appetite can occur as the infection progresses.
Understanding the Causes & Risk Factors of Tuberculosis
Understanding how tuberculosis spreads and the factors that may increase the risk of infection can help with early awareness, prevention, and timely medical evaluation.
Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Infection
Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a bacterium that most commonly affects the lungs but can also affect other parts of the body.
Close Contact with an Infected Person
TB can spread through the air when a person with active pulmonary TB coughs, sneezes, speaks, or sings, particularly during prolonged close contact.
Weakened Immune System
A weakened immune system can increase the risk of latent TB infection becoming active disease because the body has greater difficulty controlling the bacteria.
Smoking & Tobacco Exposure
Smoking can damage the lungs and weaken their natural defenses, increasing the risk of developing tuberculosis and other respiratory infections.
Poor Living or Working Conditions
Crowded, poorly ventilated environments can increase exposure to airborne TB bacteria, particularly where there is prolonged contact with an infected person.
Certain Medical & Lifestyle Factors
Factors such as diabetes, poor nutrition, heavy alcohol use, or certain immune-suppressing medicines can increase the likelihood of developing active TB.
