TB Treatment Hospital in Himatnagar
Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection that most often affects the lungs. It causes cough for more than two weeks, fever, night sweats and weight loss. TB is fully curable when the complete course of medicines is taken. At Pluto Hospital, Himatnagar, TB is evaluated with chest X-ray, CT and sputum tests, and treatment is started and followed up carefully.
Understanding the Condition
What Is TB?
TB spreads through the air when a person with lung TB coughs or sneezes. Many people carry the germ without illness; it becomes active when immunity is low. TB can also affect the lymph nodes, spine, abdomen and the lining of the lungs. Stopping medicines early can lead to drug-resistant TB, which is much harder to treat.
Who Is at Higher Risk
- Close contact with a TB patient
- Diabetes
