what your treatment options and fears about drug resistant TB are; and
some risk factors and things they can do to avoid infection with TB

Answer 1

A positive TB skin test or TB blood test only tells that a person has been infected with TB bacteria.

Untreated pulmonary TB disease can lead to long-term damage to these parts of the body: lungs. brain. liver.

If you are sick enough with TB disease to go to a hospital, you may be put in a special room. These rooms use air vents that keep TB bacteria from spreading to other rooms.

See your doctor if you have a fever, unexplained weight loss, drenching night sweats or a persistent cough

The most important way to prevent the spread of drug-resistant TB is to take all TB drugs exactly as prescribed by the health care provider. No doses should be missed and treatment should not be stopped early.
