Tuberculosis (TB) Treatment

Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious infectious disease that primarily affects the lungs but can also impact other parts of the body. Caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, TB spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Early diagnosis and effective treatment are crucial to prevent complications and transmission.

  • Persistent cough lasting more than 2-3 weeks
  • Fever and night sweats
  • Unexplained weight loss
