been around for centuries. To be exact of thetimeline it has been around since 4000 BC. It

was proven from skeletal remains of prehistoric

humans that date back to 4000 BC. TB is aninfectious disease caused by a germ (bacterium)

called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. TB is a

disease that is easily transmitted through the air

when an infected person speaks, laughs or

coughs.

active TB.Dont

spend time to long with anyone whohas an active TB infection. It is important not to

spending time with TB patients in warm and stuffy

rooms. If you work in a care facility wheres TB is

currently being treated, it is highly recommend for youto take protective measures such as wearing a face

or family member has active TB, you can help to rid

them of the disease and lessen your own risk ofcontacting it by ensuring that they strictly follow the

treatment instructions.

People who are poor in health will be more

susceptible to the TB virus. Their disease resistance will

be lower than healthy people. Therefore, it is very

important to guard yourself by leading a healthy

lifestlylein order to minimise the chance of contracting

the illness. You need to eat a healthy, balanced dietwith plenty of fruit, vegetables, whole grains and lean

meat. Avoid fatty, sugary and processed food for your

bodies. Try to incorporate some good cardiovascular

exercise into your workouts by exercising often at least3 to 4 times a week. You also need to get enough sleep

between 7 and 8 hours a night.

If you test positive for active TB, it is essential that

you begin treatment as soon as possible. Nowadays,

active TB is highly treatable with a combination ofantibiotic medications, however the duration of

treatment can be quite long, usually between six to

twelve months. The most common medications to treat

TB include isoniazid, rifampin (Rifadin, Rimactane),ethambutol (Myambutol) and pyrazinamide. With active

TB, you will usually need to take a combination of these

drugs, especially if you have a particularly drug-resistant

strain. If you follow your treatment plan exactly, youshould start to feel better within a matter of weeks and

you should no longer be contagious.

In conclusion, TB is a disease which can be

cured. TB treatment has a very high cure rate.Once the treatment for the infected person isfinished, the person might feel like looking attheir life with new eyes. TB treatment is very

effective, and it will not be stopped until theinfected person getting better. So, if anyoneexperience illness or symptoms, dontbe afraidto tell your doctor. Prevention is better thancure.
