Therefore, various measures are being taken to prevent TB disease. Efforts are also being made to make people aware to control TB disease. According to Dr. Naresh, TB (Tuberculosis) is an infectious disease caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This bacterium spreads through the air and usually infects the lungs, but can also infect other parts of the body. When TB bacteria enter a person’s body, they cause infection in the lungs. Symptoms of TB include cough, sputum, fever, fatigue, weight loss and night sweats. It is usually diagnosed through chest X-ray and sputum examination, but with the arrival of this machine, the symptoms will be confirmed soon and treatment will also be done on time.
