Inaccurate beliefs
When people hear the term tuberculosis, their initial description will be diseases affecting the lungs. This is not an accurate definition. As there are many different types of cancer, there are many different types of tuberculosis, so the following is a short list of some of the types of tuberculosis.
Tuberculous meningitis
Tuberculous meningitis is a tuberculous infection of the brain and spinal cord. Early symptoms may be irritable or restless. Thereafter, the patient may develop other symptoms such as hard neck, headache, vomiting, changes in psychological behavior, seizures or coma.
Gastrointestinal TB
Gastrointestinal tuberculosis is the tuberculosis of the gastrointestinal tract such as the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine, and anus. Symptoms are abdominal pain, fever, weight loss, nausea, vomiting, changes in intestinal habits.
Tuberculous lymphadenitis (Scrofula)
Tuberculous lymphadenitis is usually lymph node tuberculosis along the neck. Symptoms are formation of masses along the neck, mass explosions may form a urinary sinus as disease progresses.
Skin tuberculosis
Skin tuberculosis is the skin or mucosal TB from an external source of mycobacteria. There are several types of cutaneous tuberculosis: lupus erythematosus, tuberculous lupus erythematosus and tuberculous tuberculosis.
Lupinas Bulgari is a sustained type of cutaneous tuberculosis. Symptoms are small red-brown lesions seen in the face, eyelids, around the nose, cheeks, and ears.
• If previously exposed to M. tuberculosis, M. tuberculosis contracts only by skin inoculation. This type of skin tuberculosis may last for years. Symptoms are body red-brown wart-like growth, skin lesions of the hands, feet, buttocks, elbows and knees. Sometimes pus may see a rip existing in a lesion.
• Millennium tuberculosis is skin tuberculosis that begins as a pulmonary tuberculosis infection and then passes through the bloodstream. Symptoms are small red spots on the skin (which may be concentrated on the trunk of the body), necrosis of infected sites, onset of skin ulcers or abscesses.
Tuberculosis of bone and joint
Tuberculosis of the joints is joint tuberculosis: knee, waist, ankle, wrist, shoulders and elbows. It usually affects only one joint. The symptoms are similar to those who suffer from arthritis, and pain and pain are felt only in infected areas.
Urogenital tuberculosis
Tuberculosis of the genitourinary system is initially a tuberculosis that begins as a pulmonary tuberculosis infection and then travels through the bloodstream to the urogenital tract. Urogenital tracts include the urinary tract and reproductive system. The symptom is to experience urine blood, painful or unpleasant urination, and pain on one side of the body between the upper abdomen and back.
Drug resistant tuberculosis
Drug-resistant tuberculosis is just that. Tuberculosis infection not responding to drug treatment used to combat tuberculosis infection. This type of tuberculosis occurs due to poor management of tuberculosis treatment and infection with bacteria already drug resistant. There are two types of drug-resistant tuberculosis, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and broad drug-resistant tuberculosis.
• Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is resistant to two or more of the first-line drugs used to combat tuberculosis infection.
• Extensive drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) is resistant to three or more second-line medications used to combat tuberculosis infection. This is a worst type of tuberculosis infection, because the treatment of tuberculosis infection is greatly reduced.
The symptoms of MDR-TB and XDR-TB are similar to the symptoms experienced by patients suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis. These symptoms are weight loss, fever, night sweat, cough and cough, fatigue, chest pain and so on.
If these symptoms appear in contact with people infected with tuberculosis, we recommend that you call on the health expert's attention as soon as possible. Tuberculosis is a cure that can be cured if medication is given according to the instructions of a medical professional.
