[MissLeche209]

[veronikayu160389]

this is an informative video...

i've tried to donlod the long version but

i found nothing in ftv360.com

would u help me out pls?

[queenskitso]

I had tuberculosis last year and it was not contageous, not every TB is. I took the medication but still become ill such as flu, blocked nose,etc due to harsh gusts of wind. I also get sinus just by a slight change in weather I would say my immune system is the lowest it has been since I was diagnosed. I had pulmonary Tb and I was treated with the medication for six months.I would like to know if there is anyone out there who has had the same experience. Take care and be safe

[jniin07]

@queenskitso TB actually IS contagious but remains sedentary on other people and only becomes active when their immune system is at lowest. TB is not spread by skin contact or sharing of clothes with the infected. Its only transmission is direct inhalation within close proximity of the infected person. I had a patient with the same situation as yours. He was isolated coz he'd be at risk for more complications with his depleted body defenses.

[badshabz1]

@jniin07 i thought that the antibiotics kill the bacterium?

[amanriquez17]

@queenskitso you cant say you had TB becouse TB is chronical its for the rest of your life

[badshabz1]

@amanriquez17 Yeah that because themast cells enlage capillarys so fluid containing macophage cells (white blood cells) attack the bacteria and everything around it destroying the elastin (needed for lung flexibility) , thickening the alveolar epithelium and lowering the surface area, which cannot be replaced however the damaged cells are replaced by less eleastic scar tissue which makes it difficult to breath and less efficent gass exchange.

24 de marzo dia mundial de la tuberculosis

[TheJwinterbauer]

Thank you for this video, my husband almost died last year of tuberculosis, as a result myself and two sons became infected. We live in the USA and form what I understand there are numerous cases here, more than I think people really know and that saddens me. We live in the country and are not around alot of people which is baffling! I have attatched a video response here if the channel owner will approve you can see what my bird does now.

[sisterrachael9]

did anyone notice the kidneys?? the right one is supposed to be lower than the left...

[rbu2m]

My PPD test reaction is always positive and the skin reaction to subsequent TB skin tests become increasingly severe each time. The Xray and blood test still shows negative. If they injected a small amount of testing fluid called tuberculin or PPD, am I allergic to the PPD fluid test?

wow this was so educational...

[manishtherocker]

hey can anyone just tell me that if a girl have tb i mean its bone tb spus collected in her stomach so what its treatment

[raghavaj]

last month, i had some pain in my right lung so i went to the doc and he gave me a chest x ray and some antibiotics. x ray looked fine to him and chest pain went away after a day. the radiologist saw two "spots" in my xray and referred me to the lung doctor. the pulmonary doctor said i might have tuberculosis....but i feel like a health person. i have to get a CT scan and some blood tests. can anybody tell me if I might have it or not? how long do i have before TB takes effect?

[NismoCA]

@raghavaj You should start on antibiotic therapy just to be on the safe side. I'd recommend getting a 2 step TB test done first.

[Shoppingstar525]

I have a grandpa right now that just got diagnosed with TB today, he already lost his kidney, he is close to losing his lungs, he has diabetes, high blood pressure, and he has dialysis. He's bedridden now, and he can't eat or sleep or even move a finger! It's like killing him just to talk!! My family thinks that at the most, he will live until mid October :'( :'( he's been living with nothing but life threatening diseases ever since like 5 years ago, but it got severe all of a sudden right now.

[Twizlers765]

My mom might have this but the hospital LOST her documents and Shes not aloud to have another x ray cause she already had so much this year :(

[NismoCA]

@Twizlers765 See if she can have a 2 step TB test done.

[wilsongb100]

i was just tested negative and im so glad because my PPD test was tested positive but blood test + X-ray both proved negative.

[09194586489]

@wilsongb100 congrats

[AydenC666]

How long should it be before you get treatment? My mums been like this for a month and we only took her to the hospital after she started coughing blood...

[Nikifuj908]

Treatment involves prescription of isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and sometimes ethambutol.

Just me being a smart-aleck.

[Marianietech]

i have tbc but i dont know wich one i have latent or active i must go cheack up again in 2 weeks.

[shomusicfreak16]

ok so i found out i have laten tb a few months ago because i was going into clinicals..i was wondering had i not have been tested would this have become active?? oh and is it normal for the medicine to cause me to loose a lot of weight cause i've dropped like two pant sizes and i'm tired ALL the time now jw

[onthemap501]

I know that weight loss is a symptom of TB. Have you not spoken to your doctor about this development?

[shomusicfreak16]

@onthemap501 i have spoke to the doctor but he said he can't explain my weight loss and lack of appetite..idk i just find it odd cuz i've been like this for a while now. i went from about 135 pounds to 115 within about two months of the meds

[Enzo2011]

@shomusicfreak16 ask your doctor for the BAAR test and a TC (image studio) !!

[thecaveofthedead]

@shomusicfreak16 No. It is unlikely that the TB would have become active unless something, heavy drinking, malnutrition, HIV infection, immuno-suppressive drugs, caused your immune system to be suppressed. In countries with very little TB however, it is a policy to try to eradicate latent TB to prevent outbreaks of the disease. Where I come from, most people have latent TB.

Weight loss and fatigue are typical symptoms of active TB disease. I hope you went to see your doctor ;)

[jandy917]

thanks for the vid! but can you give me an access to use this video for our project? thanks a lot!

-adam from xavier univ.

[KristheLester]

In Thailand, they use traditional medicine and they can cure tuberculosis in 1 month. See the clinicals trials and testimonies on vilacplusdoteu and videos on youtube, it's really amazing!

[ivaioi]

my mom has it now, she says she had it years ago.... is it possible to get it again? i'm really scared she says she might die :'(.....

[LulzItsTyler]

You'll have it for the rest of your life but it will be latent. If she took the medicine to keep it latent she'll be fine. I'd know I've tested positive for latent tuberculosis.

[GrudgeQueen]

You never technically get rid of it, it's kind of like cancer, you can go into remission. If she has a strong immune system then she should do fine. I understand what its like to be scared for your mom. My mom has it to.

[Delicateshon]

@GrudgeQueen I agree, I said the same thing that is kind of like cancer...

[xXTigerSPEEDXx]

@GrudgeQueen dude ... omg... i hope your mom's okay, did it go away?

[atvonz]

i had TB for 7 years

i wonder it doesnt kill me

[sourmanofcoal]

what? you had active tb?

[atvonz]

still curing it dude

i'm coughing blood though

[sourmanofcoal]

holy fucken shit, by the way did you get vaccinated when you were a kid? how old are you now? are you immuno compromised?

[atvonz]

nope

[thrufaithalone]

I understand that the old vaccine is ineffective against modern TB.

[sourmanofcoal]

you understand wrong, vaccine is always effective, what ever the level of effectiveness, the vaccine that i have been administered during early ears provided me with partial protection, i register positive for montaux tb skin test, but am tb negative and not a carrier, my lung x-ray is clear completely and my diagnosis is NO LATENT TB, NO ACTIVE TB, not a carrier, but "do have antibodies" - explanation: these antibodies are a result of childhood vaccination which warded off tb

[thrufaithalone]

This is from Vanderbilt University: "A team of Vanderbilt University Medical Center investigators has cracked one of clinical medicines enduring mysteries what happened to the tuberculosis vaccine. The once-effective vaccine no longer prevents the bacterial lung infection that kills more than 1.7 million people worldwide each year."

[urhighnesss]

it will soon

[tpoernomo]

it could be dormant. keep yourself healthy and dont have a low immune system. it may not active in your whole life thanks to your body's immune system :) it is good to check it once in a while to see if it becomes active or blood is due to something else.

do you have night sweat? loose weight without apparant reason? difficulty breathing? i see you cough blood.. it could be something u want to check with ur doc.
