What is Tuberculosis (TB)?
TB is a bacterial infection (mainly by Mycobacterium tuberculosis) that most commonly affects the lungs (pulmonary TB), but can involve other organs.
Transmission:
Spread through the air when a person with active pulmonary TB coughs, sneezes, or talks, releasing droplets containing the bacteria.
TB is NOT spread by touch, food, drink, or sharing household items.
Symptoms:
Persistent cough (over 2 weeks)
Coughing up blood
Fever, night sweats, and chills
Weight loss and fatigue
Chest pain and difficulty breathing.
Prevention:
Early diagnosis and completion of full TB treatment
Cover mouth/nose when coughing or sneezing
Good ventilation in living/working areas
BCG vaccination in infancy (in many countries)
Isolate persons with active TB until noninfectious.
Treatment:
Multiple antibiotics for at least 6 months as directed by a physician (Directly Observed Treatment, DOT, is standard in many areas).
Early and complete treatment cures TB, reduces mortality, and prevents the spread.
May show a diagram of healthy vs. TB-infected lungs, the TB transmission cycle, and key reminders for medicine adherence and stopping infection.
Educational Value
Raises TB awareness and counters myths and stigma, promoting early care-seeking and effective infection control.
Essential for biology, health, and social science classes as well as public health outreach.
Supports DOTS, TB screening campaigns, and World TB Day initiatives with concise, reliable information.
This chart is an important tool for controlling TB in the community and empowering students, families, and patients with actionable knowledge.
