Contagious Diseases: Tuberculosis (T.B)

It is a very dangerous contagious disease which is caused by specific kind of germs. Germs are a kind of microorganism which is present in the air around us. These organisms cannot be seen by the eye rather to see them usually special kind of instruments are used. When the TB germs enter a body they generate specific kind of knots in the affected part. Then as the time passes these knots convert into a bigger knot and that knot affects the whole part where the germs have collected. If one does not pay attention and take medicine then these knots start bursting and it becomes very painful.

If the germs attack the lungs then it is called Lungs TB, if it attacks the bones then it is called TB of bones, and if it attacks the stomach and related parts then it is called extra pulmonary TB and so on and so forth.
