Tuberculosis counselling
Tuberculosis is a contagious disease. It is an infectious disease that often begins with uncharacteristic symptoms (cough, fatigue, mild fever, etc.), which mainly affects the lungs, but can also affect other organs.
In order to prevent spread in the body and prevent the infection of other persons, early detection and the onset of drug treatment are important.
Treatment is long and consistent, otherwise there may be a recurrence of the disease, the ineffectiveness of antibiotics (so-called resistance development) and further cases of disease through contagion.
