Systems of TB and dangers of TB

Gerald Businge — Tue, 05 Jun 2012 18:41:13 +0000

Systems of Tuberculosis (TB) and malnutrition often go together. A child with the disease may fail to gain weight, lose energy, and have cough lasting for more than two weeks.

That child may look unhealthy, have prolonged fever and is tired all the time. In addition, a child with TB may find it hard to breathe.

There are also some dangers of TB in children below the age of 2 and among HIV victims.

The children below 2 years and people living with HIV are particularly at risk because they have an under developed and compromised immune system.

The disease (TB) starts with presents as an on and off cough, resisting most antibiotic treatment.

TB is an airborne disease caused by TB bacilli which is primarily affects the lungs; lymphnodes, intestines, kidneys, joints, brain, spine and the skin are also affected. Over 1000,000 children develop TB and 100,000 die annually in Uganda.
