Tuberculosis Disease Abstract The leading cause of death amongst the infectious diseases is tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and once inside the host body, it forms an active TB or latent TB. The disease is contagious as it is transmitted through the air. When nearby individuals breathe in a load of bacteria, they become infected. In the lungs, the bacteria begin to propagate and spread to the other body parts, such as the spine, kidney, and brain. Habitually, M. tuberculosis grows in the lungs resulting in pulmonary TB. Symptoms caused by pulmonary disease include a bad cough that lasts for weeks, fever, weight loss, chest pain, and chills. On spreading to the other body parts, different symptoms are portrayed depending on the anatomical structure. Types of TB under the extra-pulmonary sites are military TB, gastrointestinal TB, central nervous system TB, TB pericarditis, among others. Treatment of TB is through multiple antibiotics in at least six months. Keywords: Tuberculosis, Latent Tuberculosis, active tuberculosis, physiology, anatomy, organ, lungs, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, risk factors, clinical manifestation, prognosis, and diagnosis Annotated Bibliography…
