How many types of tb is there?
Someone in my locality recently had TB, and it sounded quite serious. I heard there are different forms of it. Does anyone know how many types of TB there are, actually?

Beta, tuberculosis is mainly classified as active or latent, though it can affect lungs or other parts of the body. While nourishing foods like warm milk and garlic are good for strength, you must strictly complete the government DOTS therapy without skipping any day.

I agree, it is basically latent and active TB, and it can affect either the lungs or other organs. Regular medication under a doctor's watch is the only way to cure it.

At my age, I hear about lung TB and bone TB the most, which are pulmonary and extrapulmonary types. The treatment is long and tiring, but it works perfectly. Just stick to your doctor's prescription and don't try to be your own doctor.

Well, there is pulmonary TB in the lungs and extrapulmonary in other organs. But the main type is the 'complete-the-entire-course-or-your-doctor-will-scold-you' type! Don't worry, it is fully curable with patience and pills.

My health app shows TB is classified as latent (sleeping) and active. It can also be pulmonary (lungs) or extrapulmonary (bone, brain, etc.). Setting daily reminders on your phone helps ensure you never miss a dose during treatment.
