Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The bacteria usually attack the lungs, but TB bacteria can attack any part of the body such as the kidney, spine, and brain. Not everyone infected with TB bacteria becomes sick. As a result, two TB-related conditions exist: latent TB infection (LTBI) and TB disease. If not treated properly, TB disease can be fatal.
結核病
結核病是由一種叫做結核分枝桿菌的細菌引起的。這種細菌通常攻擊肺部,但結核菌可以攻擊身體的任何部位,如腎臟、脊椎和腦。並不是所有感染結核桿菌的人都會生病。因此,存在兩種與結核病相關的情況,即潛伏結核病感染(LTBI)和結核病。如果治療不當,結核病可能是致命的。
