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 to prevent infection of other people, early detection and the start of drug treatment are important.

Treatment must be carried out lengthy and consistently, otherwise there may be a renewed outbreak of the disease, the ineffectiveness of antibiotics (so-called development of resistance) and further cases of illness due to infection.

Tasks of tuberculosis counselling:

Identification and examination of contact persons for tuberculosis patients
Accompaniment and monitoring of outpatient antituberculous therapy
Possibly carrying out therapy and ensuring it
Further follow-up after completion of therapy

Documents may be required. Please contact the competent authority.

Fees may apply. Please contact the relevant authority.

Deadlines may have to be observed. Please contact the competent authority.
