tb in blood :: Article Creator What Are The Causes Of Tuberculosis? Know The Importance Of Early Diagnosis For Timely Intervention Tuberculosis, (TB) is a bacterial infection that takes a toll on the lungs. It is considered as top infectious killer. Millions of people with TB are unaware of their health status, suffer in silence, and lose their precious lives. The symptoms of TB are cough, constant cough with mucus or blood, fatigue, weight loss, fever, breathing problems, fever and chills.

Smoking tends to damage the lungs and raise the chances of TB.  If left untreated, TB can cause permanent scarring of lung tissue, leading to breathing difficulti...

causative organism of tb :: Article Creator Deadly Diseases When German biologist and doctor Robert Koch announced in 1882 that he had discovered the bacterial cause of tuberculosis, he said, "If the number of victims which a disease claims is the measure of its significance, then all diseases … must rank far behind tuberculosis." By this measure, tuberculosis today still outranks most other infectious diseases for its sheer potential to affect vulnerable populations. The World Health Organization reports that TB infects one new person every second and is the world's leading killer of women. An ancient disease, tuberculosis has been found in the skulls and spinal cords of Egyptian mummies 3,000 years old. The Greek physician Hippocrates called "consumption" — as tuberculosis was often known in the past — the most common deadly disease of his time. An estimated one billion people died from tuberculosis between 1700 and 1...

e coli lungs :: Article Creator E. Coli Outbreak Linked To McDonald's Is Over, CDC Says An E. Coli outbreak linked to McDonald's has ended, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday. The outbreak sickened at least 104 people in 14 states, about a third of whom were hospitalized. One person, an 88-year-old man, died in Colorado. The total number of illnesses was likely much higher, according to the CDC.  The outbreak was announced on Oct. 22. It usually takes several weeks to determine if a sick person is part of an outbreak. The illnesses started on Sept. 12 and continued until Oct. 21. "The process to reach this point has at times felt long, challenging and uncertain," McDonald's said in a Tuesday statement. "But it is critical that public officials examine every possible angle, and we are deeply grateful that they moved quickly to identify and, in partnership with McDonald's, contain the iss...

tuberculosis is transmitted by :: Article Creator Fighting The Tuberculosis Scourge TUBERCULOSIS, a disease once thought to be under control, remains one of the most significant health challenges in Nigeria. With over 467,000 cases recorded in 2023, Nigeria is now ranked as the sixth-highest TB-burdened country in the world and the first in Africa. This is a troubling statistic for a disease that is both preventable and curable. The call by the wife of the President, Oluremi Tinubu, for united action to end TB resonates with all stakeholders. Governments at all levels, the private sector, civil society, and individuals must play their part in the fight against TB. TB is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a bacterium that most commonly affects the lungs but can spread to other parts of the body. It is airborne, transmitted through droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes or even speaks. Th...

mrsa lung infection treatment :: Article Creator Antibiotic Resistance, Mutation Rates And MRSA As worrisome as MRSA is, it is just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. In fact, there are a number of far more threatening drug-resistant bacteria in existence, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. P. Aeruginosa poses a greater threat because it has certain biological features that make it more readily resistant to antibiotics than MRSA. For example, P. Aeruginosa has a highly impermeable outer membrane, whereas MRSA does not. This outer membrane makes it more difficult for antibiotic chemical compounds to actually get inside the bacterial cell so that they can inflict damage. Moreover, once the antibiotic compounds are inside it, P. Aeruginosa has what are known as efflux pumps, which can very quickly pump foreign compounds like antibiotics back out of the cell before they have a chance to do damage. MRSA does not have efflux pumps. Because of these biologi...
