No, Henry David Thoreau did not receive any formal treatment for his tuberculosis. He chose to manage his illness using natural remedies, fresh air, and self-care practices, believing in the body's ability to heal itself.

Anne Frank did not die of tuberculosis. She died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in March 1945.

It is believed that Edgar Allan Poe's loved ones died of tuberculosis because the disease was common during that time period and there were limited treatments available. Additionally, Poe's own struggles with poverty and mental health may have contributed to the stress that compromised their immune systems, making them more susceptible to the disease.

Tuberculosis was devastating in Poe's era due to poor living conditions, lack of effective treatments, and limited medical knowledge. Today, TB is less of a threat due to improved overall living conditions, the development of antibiotics like rifampicin and isoniazid for treatment, as well as effective public health measures such as screening and isolation of infected individuals.

Edgar Allan Poe's wife, Virginia Clemm Poe, died of tuberculosis at the age of 24. She was also his first cousin, as they were married when she was 13 years old.

Tuberculosis likely originated in Africa over 70,000 years ago and spread globally through human migration. With increased urbanization and overcrowding in the 18th and 19th centuries, it became more prevalent in Europe and North America. Today, TB is found worldwide, with higher incidence in developing countries due to factors like poverty and lack of healthcare access.

There are two most important types of tuberculosis (TB): one that affects the lungs (pulmonary TB) and another that affects components of the physique outside the lungs (extrapulmonary TB).

Lung TB:

It is the most common type.

It usually impacts the lungs.

Signs may additionally consist of a lasting cough, chest pain, weight loss, tiredness, and coughing up blood.

It can unfold through the air when a contaminated person coughs or sneezes.

Outside-Lung TB:

This type of TB impacts physique components other than the lungs.

It can affect organs like lymph nodes, bones, joints, kidneys, or the central nervous system.

Signs depend on the affected region and may additionally consist of swelling, pain, or trouble with the affected organ.

It's now not as difficult to unfold as lung TB; however, it still desires scientific attention.

TB can additionally be grouped as both responding or not responding properly to standard TB medicines.

Tuberculosis is primarily caused mycobacterium tuberculosis. The bacterium is small enough to float in the air, be inhaled, and evade basically all the lung's defense mechanisms. It grows very slowly, is virtually invisible on typical gram stain slides, and is difficult to treat.

Of the people who get infected, about 90% will have an inactive, asymptomatic infection.

The remaining 10% will have active disease, which if unchecked spreads to other parts of the body, including bone, brain, lung, kidneys, and lymphatics. This active disease has about a 50% mortality when untreated.

Symptoms of pulmonary TB include a persistent cough >3 weeks, low grade fevers, weight loss, night sweats, a cough productive of blood tinged sputum.

TB is treatable using a multi-antibiotic regimen which lasts for 6 to 9 months. It is CRUCIAL to take all antibiotics as directed, for the duration directed, when treating a TB infection, as TB is notorious for developing resistance to antibiotics.

Tuberculosis is not hereditary; in fact, it is contagious. There are some other respiratory ailments, though, that may be at least partly hereditary. For example, asthma is believed to be at least partly hereditary.

A small amount of greenish or yellow sputum may be coughed up when the person gets up in the morning. In time, more sputum is produced that is streaked with blood. Persons with pulmonary TB do not run a high fever, but they often have a low-grade one.

no! its not safe.

Mothers with untreated and active tuberculosis should not breastfeed their babies. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease most commonly spread by adults who have active tuberculosis. so this could spread to yyour new born child. you can get medicinces from the doctor though. :)

Tuberculosis is a disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is not caused by a virus.

Tuberculosis patients sweat at night for a few reasons; first, they have a serious disease which affects their breathing. If they are not breathing normally, their lungs must work extra hard to both inhale, and exhale. Since the lungs are working so much harder than they should be, the work causes the patient to sweat. What some people don't know, is that tuberculosis isn't merely a lung condition which causes excessive coughing. The respiratory system can have an impact on virtually any given part of the body, including stable internal conditions (temperature of the interior body.) Someone with tuberculosis may experience the following, as a result of the respiratory system being a vital part of health.

Nausea

Sudden rise in temperature

Feverish symptoms

Dizziness

Loud, deep, and painful cough

Chest pain

Feeling of bloating in head area.

I hope this answers your question!

Yes it is one of the many s/s of TB

It is a contagious disease that kills people. Not very helpful.

Yes.

Tuberculosis and spread just when a person with the disease coughs, because of the bacteria they send into the air. If they directly kiss you, especially with a French kiss, you are prone to getting the disease, too.
