i want to know this answer particulary from doctor is their any realation b/w the TB and respiratory prblems?

Answer 1

Tuberculosis is primarily a disease of the lings, so the answer is yes. If TB damages the lungs, then pulmonary function will be reduced.

Answer 2

im not a doctor but a nurse. one of the target locations of mycobacterium tuberculae, the causative microorganism found in the TB, is actually the lungs...

at first, the disease is assymptomatic which means u don't feel any symptoms at all..but after some time that these microorganisms have multiplied, then the symptoms will arise and that's the time ur going to feel pretty much respriratory problems, since its one system.

but don't worry sweety as long as a person who has this go to the doctor, a set of drugs will be prescribed, which are proved to be beneficial and after like 6-9 months, tb problem will be resolved. it will be dormant...

Answer 3

Hi there !
I think you are slightly confused here !
It is very simple !
Respiratory problems could be due to so many reasons ... Infection is the main cause for respiratory problems in temperate climates..
There are many organisms causing infections of the lungs . Tuberculous bacteria is very common in our climate..
It can attack any organ in the body...
it causes a very slow and chronic infection especially in people who are weak and with less defense mechanism of the body.
In India, Tuberculosis of the Lungs used to be very common in mill workers..
now the incidence has come down...
dont worry..a blood test and a simple X-ray of the chest will help in diagnosis ..
contact your family doctor..
best wishes..
