These conditions are harmful and may need seeking of a health professional, TB cells will eat away cells that are active causing the immune system to shut down completely. Which will eventually kill you slow. An estimated 1.7 million people died from TB in 2009. The highest number of deaths was located in Africa Region. Many were killed by this plague, and by refusing treatment to cure this disease, it result's in activating old infection. Making the micro-bacteria active.
Usually a person has to be close to someone with TB disease for a long period of time. TB is usually spread between family members, close friends, and people who work or live together. It will not spread if your walking past an infected patient, the only way it will spread would be sitting in the same room, or going to class with that infected patient. TB is the most dangerous caused of death throughout the world.
Most people who become infected do not develop TB disease because their body's defenses protect them. Meaning it's not as strong as the TB infection, but the TB disease is a whole different process. In order to get the disease your immune system must be completely shut down, so the disease will become active it is not easy to become infected by TB, or tuberculosis.
People with TB disease must complete a course of 6 months or even more.
41 million TB patients have been successfully treated in DOTS programmes and up to 6 million lives saved since 1995. 5 million more lives could be saved between now and 2015 by fully funding and implementing The Global Plan to Stop TB 2011-2015. Hopefully tuberculosis will eventually come to an end, and finally this plaque will no longer be an active disease on humans.
