This germ typically targets the lungs but can affect any part of the body, residing within the host and eventually developing into the disease. TB is transmitted through the air when an infected individual coughs or sneezes, releasing the germs that others may inhale and become infected by. Once inhaled, these TB germs can establish themselves in the lungs and begin to proliferate. Individuals exhibiting symptoms of TB are advised to seek medical attention and undergo a sputum test. Sputum, which is phlegm from deep within the lungs, contains numerous TB germs in those afflicted with the disease. A health worker can identify these germs by examining the sputum under a microscope or using specialized equipment. It is crucial for anyone experiencing even mild symptoms to be tested, as they might unknowingly transmit the germs to others. Prompt and comprehensive treatment for all individuals diagnosed with TB is essential to prevent its spread to family members, friends, and the wider community. Consequently, all individuals who have had close contact with someone diagnosed with TB, including family, friends, or colleagues, should also be tested for the disease.","English  \n4  \nTB is a serious illness caused by a germ (seed of disease) called tubercle baccillus. This germ can only be seen with a microscope. The TB germ can attack any part of your body, but it usually attacks the lungs. This germ lives inside the body and later develops into the TB disease.  \n5  \nTB is spread through the air from one person to another. The germs are put into the air when a person with TB disease coughs or sneezes. People nearby breathe in these germs and then they can become infected with TB. When a person breathes in TB germs, the germs can settle in the lungs and begin to grow  \n7  \nPeople with symptoms of TB need to go the health worker and have a sputum test. Sputum is phlegm from deep inside the lungs. A person with the TB disease has many germs in his sputum. When the health worker looks at the sputum with the microscope, or tests in a special machine, he can see these germs. Even people with mild symptoms should be tested. They may be spreading their germs to others without even knowing that  \n9  \nIt is important to treat ALL people who have the TB disease! This will prevent the disease from spreading to the members of the person’s family, his friends and other people in the village.
