TB disease

TB disease can attack anyone (old, young, men, women, poor, or rich) and wherever. Each year, Indonesia is the fourth million new TB cases and approximately 140,000 deaths occur each year are caused by TB. In fact, Indonesia is the third largest country with a TB problem in the world.
TB prevalence surveys conducted in six provinces in the years 1983-1993 shows that the prevalence of TB in India ranges between 0.2 - 0.65%. Meanwhile, according to a report of the Global TB issued by the WHO in 2004, the TB incidence in 2002 reached 555,000 cases (256 case/100.000 population), and 46% among new cases is estimated.
The cause of TB disease

TB disease is an infection disease caused by bacteria Mikobakterium tuberkulosa. This rod-shaped bacteria and acid-resistant so it is also known as Trunk Hold acid (BTA). The bacteria was first discovered by Robert Koch on 24 March 1882, for the services so that the bacteria is given the name of Koch bacillus. In fact, TB disease in the lungs sometimes referred to as the Koch Pulmonum (KP).



Ways of TB disease

TB disease usually spread through the air contamination with bacteria Mikobakterium tuberkulosa released at the time of the TB sufferer coughs, and children on the source of infection is generally derived from adult TB patients. This is often when bacteria enter and collect in the lungs will breed a lot (especially on the body's resistance with a low), and can spread through the blood vessel or lymph gland. That's why it's an infection of TB infection can almost all organs such as lung, brain, kidney, alimentary tract, bone, lymph gland, and others, but the organs most often affected is the lungs.



When Mikobakterium tuberkulosa successful infection of the lungs, it will immediately grow the bacteria colony forming globular (rounded). Usually through a series of reactions imunologis TB bacteria will try this in the resistor through the wall around the bacteria cells by tuberculosis. Mechanism for the formation of the walls that create a network in a network surrounding scar and TB bacteria becomes dormant (resting). Dormant forms of this is seen as the actual examination tuberkel on the image rays.


On some people with good immune system, this form will remain dormant throughout his life. Whereas in those with immune systems that are less, the bacteria will experience Maintenance tuberkel increased so much. Tuberkel of this form a lot of space in the lungs. This space will become a source of production of sputum (phlegm). Someone who has been producing sputum can be estimated are experiencing growth in excess tuberkel positive and infected with TB.


The increasing spread of infection has been reported at this time, many linked to several conditions, including social conditions worsen its economy, has not been optimal public health service facilities, increasing the number of people who do not have a place to stay and the epidemic of HIV infection. Besides, the resistance of the body is weak / decrease, virulensi and the number of bacteria is a factor that play an important role in the occurrence of TB infection.


Symptoms of TB disease

Symptoms of TB disease can be divided into general symptoms and specific symptoms that arise according to the organ involved. Clinical picture is not very typical, especially in the case of new, so quite difficult to enforce the diagnostic clinic.

chest pain complaints.
• When the bones, the symptoms will occur such as infection of the bone at a time can
form a channel and empty on the skin above it, at the mouth of the exit liquid pus.
• In children the brain (layer wrapping the brain) and referred to as meningitis
(brain peritonitis), the symptoms are high fever, a decrease in awareness,
convulsions and cramps.



In the patient who does not cause the child symptoms, TB can be detected if there is contact with adult TB patients. Approximately 30-50% of children in contact with adult tuberculosis patients TB test results tuberkulin positive. At the age of the child 3 months - 5 years of living the same house with people with TB tuberculosis with BTA positive adults, 30% reported being infected based on serologi / blood.



HOW TRADITIONAL Overcoming tuberculosis (TUBER CULOSE)

Every day to train and suck the breath out slowly and regularly organized.
