Understanding Tuberculosis (TB)
Juma, a carpenter, dismissed his persistent cough as just dust irritation. But as weeks passed, he lost weight, battled night sweats, and felt constantly fatigued. A doctor’s visit confirmed the truth—he had tuberculosis (TB). TB is an airborne bacterial infection that can be deadly if left untreated. Fortunately, with proper medication and care, Juma recovered. His story is a reminder that early diagnosis and treatment adherence are crucial in the fight against TB.
