Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzTuberculosis is a contagious disease. It is an infectious disease that often begins with uncharacteristic symptoms (cough, tiredness, slight fever, etc.) and mainly affects the lungs, but can also affect other organs.
In order to prevent the disease from spreading in the body and to prevent other people from becoming infected, it is important to recognize it early and start treatment with medication. Tuberculosis is classified as a notifiable disease in Germany.
Treatment is lengthy and must be carried out consistently, as otherwise the disease may break out again, antibiotics may become ineffective (so-called development of resistance) and infection may lead to further cases of the disease.
