A healthy lifestyle is a factor in the prevention of tuberculosis

Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease with a prolonged course, characterized by the development of specific inflammatory changes in various organs and tissues. The causative agent of the disease (Koch's wand) was discovered by Robert Koch in 1882. Koch's wand, being in the body, secretes toxins that have a strong damaging effect on the tissues of the body. The lungs are most often affected, but the kidneys, bones and other organs can also be affected. The causative agents of tuberculosis – Mycobacterium tuberculosis - accumulate in large quantities in the body of a sick person and can be released into the environment with sputum, urine and feces.  It is very stable in the external environment.

Ways of transmission of tuberculosis infection: aerogenic, alimentary, contact and intrauterine. The main way is aerogenic. The source of the spread of infection is tuberculosis patients. When coughing, laughing or sneezing, a contagious patient with pulmonary tuberculosis secretes the smallest particles of sputum containing Mycobacterium tuberculosis.  Transmission of the disease occurs when a person inhales air infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Infection also occurs when eating dairy products from animals with tuberculosis, when microbes enter the body with unboiled milk and other poorly processed dairy products.

March 24 - World Tuberculosis Day

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease known to mankind for many centuries. They can be infected in various ways: airborne, household contact, food. The insidiousness of the infection lies in the fact that it gradually destroys the human body and is asymptomatic at the initial stages. Unfortunately, the majority of the population believes that tuberculosis affects only disadvantaged segments of the population. However, this is not the case. Anyone can get sick, and even from well-off families with normal incomes, because people have different resistance to tuberculosis.

For 41 years, the world community has been celebrating World Tuberculosis Day, which was established on March 24, 1982 by the International Union against Tuberculosis and Pulmonary Diseases together with the World Health Organization. The selected date has a symbolic meaning. It was timed to coincide with the discovery on March 24, 1882 by the German microbiologist R. Koch of the causative agent of tuberculosis, for which the scientist was awarded the Nobel Prize. The initiative has found wide support and dissemination. The emblem of the tuberculosis Day is a white chamomile, which represents healthy breathing.

First of all, alcoholic degeneration of the cerebellum appears, and then the large hemispheres suffer. With alcoholic encephalopathy, coordination and balance are disturbed in a person, hands tremble, the circle of interests narrows, then appetite decreases, especially for protein foods, later aggressiveness prevails, mood swings, fear and anxiety appear. Patients do not sleep either day or night. There are cramps in the limbs, trembling throughout the body. Often, especially at night, there are attacks of chills and sweating, palpitations, discomfort in the heart area. The development of alcoholic encephalopathy is preceded by long-term (from 6-7 to 20 years or more) daily drunkenness, but in women this disease develops earlier. Often such patients abuse various kinds of alcoholic surrogates. Often acute forms of alcoholic encephalopathy develop in the spring, when hypovitaminosis is noted, and even during a binge, such people are disgusted with food. This is accompanied by heartburn, abdominal pain.
