Have you been diagnosed with tuberculosis (active or inactive form)?

Tweet

Have you ever been diagnosed with tuberculosis? There are two forms, the inactive form is latent tuberculosis that the immune system has stopped, you cannot infect anyone, but you can develop the active tuberculosis disease later in life. Have you ever been diagnosed with the tuberculosis active disease? If you have the active form you can spread tuberculosis disease! The only way you can tell if you have inactive tuberculosis is by a tuberculin skin test and a chest X-ray. Symptoms of the active tuberculosis disease are: a) Fatigue, sleepiness b) Loss of appetite, not wanting to eat c) Rapid weight loss d) Coughing lasting longer than 3 weeks, cough could contain blood e) chest pains If you have been diagnosed with tuberculosis, could you tell me about the treatment? I am interested in the drugs that you used to treat it, or if you decided to delay or not do treatment. Do you think tuberculosis testing should be required for everyone? It is spread by air so anyone could get it by simply breathing someone's exhaled air that has active tuberculosis disease. You wouldn't know it unless you had to work in the medical or school fields that require TB testing every so often. Let's wait for those replies. I can't wait to read them. Pablo
