Transmission of Tuberculosis in Team Settings

Patient's Query

Want to know how it transfer tuberculosis from a patient who has been having treatment for more than 6 month to another working in the same team.

Answered by Dr. Shweta Bansal

Tube­rculosis spreads through the air from coughs or sneeze­s. If your teammate's treatme­nt exceeds six months, transmission risk de­creases. Watch for persiste­nt coughing, fever, and weight loss. Se­e a pulmonologist if symptoms arise. Cover coughs, wash hands fre­quently - good hygiene pre­vents TB spread.

Given that the cough has been ongoing for three months and previous treatments have not been effective, it's crucial to consult her doctor again. They can reevaluate her condition, conduct further tests if necessary, and provide appropriate treatment options.

I have played national matches in boxing and wrestling. I had severe chest pain in May. If I show in the hospital, in the x-ray, it will show water in the chest, after fluid tapping, Tb will be found in that water, I was under a lot of mental stress. Because I have to take care of my house. I have been taking the medicine given by the doctor since one month, I have started boxing and wrestling training, I am feeling a little better but I am not feeling any strength in my body, can I take creatine to get strength? Please help me a little

Male | 26

Pneumothorax (TB) might be the water inside your chest. This is due to the fact that the immune system, when it is weak, can bring on the symptoms such as chest pain and tiredness. While taking medications as prescribed should be your priority, do not take creatine without your doctor’s approval because it may worsen your condition. However, for now, make sure you are resting enough, eating properly, and gradually getting back into your regular training routine.

I am looking after my dad that has end of life copd.hes not eating much very weak talks in his sleep and fidgety and is getting withdrawn from peopl

Male | 83

Extreme fatigue and loss of appetite could be caused by COPD. Sometimes people may talk while asleep, be restless, or become unresponsive during this period. This means that the body is extremely weak. Right now, what is most important is to make sure he is relaxed all the time, don’t force him to eat too much but give him small amounts of food often.

I am a 47 year old male i had post thyroidectomy and recently got a CT scan and it shows subcentrimetric nodules scattered in the lungs so what does that mean

Male | 47

Following your thyroid surgery and the CT scan, some small nodules were spotted in your lungs. These are very common little growths that hardly ever have any symptoms attached to them. They could have been caused by many things such as infections or past illnesses. In most cases, no action needs to be taken concerning these growths but you need to keep visiting a doctor to check up on them frequently. If you start feeling unusual in any way like continuous coughing or struggling to breathe, please inform your physician immediately.

My CT Scan report. Area of ground glass opacification is seen in the right lower lobe. A tiny subpleural nodule is seen in the right lung on image #4-46. What meant by it in easy and understandable words

Male | 32

Based on the CT scan report, here are a couple of findings:

Ground glass opacification in the right lower lobe: This refers to an area in the lung that appears hazy or cloudy on the CT scan. It can indicate various conditions, such as inflammation, infection, or early stages of lung disease.

Subpleural nodule in the right lung: This refers to a small abnormality or growth detected in the right lung, near the outer lining of the lung. The exact nature of the nodule would need further evaluation to determine if it is benign (non-cancerous) or potentially malignant (cancerous).
