Tuberculosis:

At SpO2fit clinic, we provide comprehensive advice for managing Tuberculosis(TB). We provide consultations for any type of TB, let it be any drug-sensitive or MDR TB.

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. The commonest organ to get infected by TB are lungs. Many other organs may also be affected by TB such as the brain, bones and spines, lymph nodes, abdomen, genitourinary organs, and skin, but it’s the TB in the lungs that can be contagious i.e. can spread to others also. Transmission of infection can occur through droplets when an infected patient:

 Cough  or   Sneezes     or     Speaks

Different types of Tuberculosis :

• Latent and Active TB
• Drug-sensitive and Drug-resistant TB, Including MDR and XDR TB
• Pulmonary (lungs) and Extra pulmonary TB (other than lungs)

Treatment Tuberculosis is curable with proper and adequate treatment. Anti TB Treatment (ATT) is usually taken for prolonged periods of 6 months or more.

Nutritional care and advice are also equally important for better outcomes.
