Tuberculosis (TB), Myths & Facts


Myth: Tuberculosis affects only the Lung.

Fact: Tuberculosis can target almost any part of the body, including joints, bones, urinary tract, central nervous system, muscles, bone marrow and lymphatic system. An infection in the lung is the most common since TB enters the body through air inhalation. But if left untreated, the bacteria may spread to other parts of the body.

This is of course kind of good news...but it hits so badly that the whole body is affected for life and moreover there is a high need to take good care of the body following this disease without which it keeps attacking again and again.
