Comprehensive TB Treatment in Jaipur by Chest Specialist Dr. DC Gupta

Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It usually affects the lungs (pulmonary TB), but can also affect other parts of the body such as the bones, brain, kidneys, and lymph nodes (extrapulmonary TB).

TB spreads through airborne droplets when a person with active TB coughs, sneezes, or talks. Common symptoms include a persistent cough (sometimes with blood), fever, night sweats, fatigue, and weight loss.

There are two main forms of TB:

  • Latent TB: Bacteria are present but inactive, showing no symptoms and not contagious.
  • Active TB: Bacteria are active, causing symptoms and spreading to others.

Diagnosis often includes a chest X-ray, sputum test, and TB skin or blood tests. Treatment requires a strict antibiotic course (usually 6 months), which must be followed carefully to prevent drug resistance. Consulting an experienced TB specialist in Jaipur ensures accurate diagnosis and effective TB treatment in Jaipur under the guidance of an expert TB doctor in Jaipur.
