My neighbor just passed away from TB complications, which was really shocking. It makes me wonder, is TB generally a fatal illness?

Don't just believe anything you read online about serious conditions. TB *can* be fatal if left untreated or if treatment is not completed. But if diagnosed early and treated correctly with proper medication, it is generally curable. Always confirm such critical info with a doctor.

Oh god, this thought crosses my mind too sometimes, it's so scary! But I've learned that while it *can* be fatal without treatment, modern medicine has made it highly curable. So, don't let the fear consume you, just focus on early detection and completing the medical course if ever needed.

Arrey baba, everything untreated can be fatal, even a simple fever if ignored long enough! But seriously, yes, untreated TB is very serious and can be fatal. The good news is, with proper doctors and medicines today, it's mostly curable. Just gotta stick to the routine, like trying to stick to a diet plan after 40.

If you ask, yes, untreated TB can be fatal, especially for people with weakened immune systems. But the good thing is, we have really effective medications now. So the key is getting diagnosed early and completing the full course of treatment as prescribed. That makes it curable in most cases.

Untreated TB can be fatal. But it's curable with proper treatment.
