TB is caused by a bacterial infection that spreads through the air when an infected person coughs. Please don't worry too much, with modern medicines, it is completely curable now. Take care.

Haan, tuberculosis actually ek bacteria se hota hai jo lungs pe attack karta hai. Yeh tab failta hai jab koi infected person khansta ya cheekhta hai, na? Tension mat lo, checkup karao, course poora karne se bilkul theek ho jata hai.

My husband had TB a few years back, and it was caused by inhaling the bacteria from an infected person. My tip to you is to start the DOTS treatment immediately if diagnosed and never skip a single dose. Proper nutrition with high protein is key to recovering your strength.

TB is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It spreads through tiny droplets in the air, especially in crowded spaces if immunity is low. Keeping track of your overall health and getting a quick sputum test done if you have a persistent cough is the best way to handle it.

I always say that a weak immune system due to poor lifestyle makes us prone to such infections. TB is a bacterial disease, and if you have a cough for more than two weeks, you must get tested. Regular health checkups help catch these things before they become severe.

Yes, it is entirely a bacterial infection of the lungs. Please consult a government clinic or private doctor for the standard sputum test to be sure.

I ignored a bad cough and mild fever for months, thinking it was just pollution, and it turned out to be TB that damaged my lungs. It is caused by a bacterial infection, and waiting only makes it worse. Please get a test done immediately if you have symptoms.
