Approximately 2 billion people suffer from Tuberculosis each year. Tuberculosis or simply TB is an infectious and highly contagious disease of the body especially lungs. It spreads mainly via Mycobacterium tuberculosis which is a tough and highly resistant microbe.

Tuberculosis is a serious, infectious and often fatal disease of the lungs. It can also affect other parts of the body. But the most common type of Tuberculosis is pulmonary Tuberculosis. It is more common in women than in men. The causative agent is a Gram-positive bacterium (Mycobacterium tuberculosis).

Tuberculosis or simply TB is a spreadable disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This organism has a hard, waxy cell wall that makes it highly resistant to unfavorable environments and drugs. It evades the mucus lining of the windpipe and enters the lungs.

The goal of treating Tuberculosis is to protect the patient from possible disability and death. Another objective is to reduce the spread of Tuberculosis infection to others. TB may be a stubborn infection but with the right measures at the right time, it can be cured.

Treatment: The purpose of tuberculosis treatment is not only to cure the infected patient but also to reduce the transmission of the bacteria to normal persons.

In healthy people who have been exposed to tuberculosis, a single oral dose of vitamin D enhances their immunity against this bacterial infection.

The vaccine for Hepatitis A and Tuberculosis (TB) developed by Hilleman Labs are affordable. The cost for Tuberculosos vaccine is less as compared to the market rates.

The BCG vaccine (which stands for Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine) protects against Tuberculosis, commonly known as TB. TB is a serious infection which affects the lungs, but it can affect other parts of the body such as the bones, joints and kidneys. It can also cause meningitis.
