[@arc_xiv]

I caught TB and I live in France (Paris). I still remember that the worse part was not the coughing or the fever but the loss of appetite. I kept this disease for more than 6-7 months until I got cured. I went to see doctors because I didn't know what was happening to me, I thought first it was flu and the doctors thought so as well. For multiple months, nobody could diagnostic what I had and I described the symptoms : cough, fever, loss of appetite, cold sweat (I lost 15kg by the time I was cured). It's until I got to the hospital when they gave me an X-ray radiography and you could see how big it was in my lung. This disease is still underestimated these days, because people think that's not something that you can caught in western countries. You should still be afraid of this shit, way more than being afraid to get COVID. EDIT : English is not my first language so I may have some typo/grammatical errors.

I just finished school to be an EMT and if there is one thing they emphasize, it's how scary TB is and the importance of safety. To quote my instructor, "people think that car accidents and fires are the scary calls to go on, but if you follow the rules, you're safe. Tuberculosis and Meningitis are the two scariest calls you can go on. Wear gloves and masks and get tested."

[@ChristianSchwarzbach]

That is simply not true. As a TB-specialist I can assure you that wearing an FFP2/N95-mask protects you "100%". It takes very intesive (e.g. when you intubate a person) or long lasting (>8 hours) UNPROTECTED contacts to get infected. And even then only 10% of those at risk acquire the infection. And of those infected only 5% get sick in their lifetime. In Western Europe it is easy to treat TB - the high number of deaths happen elsewhere in the world. The hard thing is to think of TB as a differential diagnosis even in parts of the world where it has become rare - like in the Netherlands. And if you, as an EMT, a notified in advance of a possible TB case (in my experience from Germany a false report most of the time) you should not worry at all as long as you wear a mask. Even gloves can be omitted.

My mother almost died two years ago from latent TB that she thought she overcame in Mexico as a child, where she grew up. Evidently, it came back with a vengence 30 years later; and in addition to causing pulmonary symptoms, however, it attacked her spinal fluid and caused meningitis. The inflammation got so severe so quickly that it paralyzed the gut nerves connected to the vertibrae where the inflammation was the worst, leading to much poorer digestive function. Between the exceptionally powerful antibiotic regiment she took to kill the TB and the damage it did to her gut nerves, the doctors she saw only gave her a few months to live on her own. They said she would likely slowly starve to death as her digestive system could no longer process anything more complex than a simple sugar. A nutrient IV would postpone it, but that is incredibly expensive and the American Healthcare system is kinda rigged. Things were looking pretty grim for a while, but she actually found salvation in gut microbiome transplants and smoothies. She still has to puree any solid food before she eats it to avoid indigestion and has to completely avoid fast food, but she is no longer critically malnourished. Thanks, Kurzgesagt for making a video on this. Here in the developed countries it's easy to take TB for granted, but it is still a monster humanity should not forget exists.

Hello! I'm a medical student from Italy and wanted to say just one more thing: when a patient results positive to immunological tests but shows no signs of active tubercolosis (a condition defined as latent TB infection), there's the possibility to be treated with a chemoprophilaxis which is essentially an antibiotic treatment similar to the one for active TB (usually two drugs instead of four). I don't know how it works in your countries, but look it up if you're ever in need! It helps reducing the probability of a future reactivation!

It is all due to human selfishness. Drugs are not distributed to poorer countries, leading the disease to infect more and evolve. After a while, it spreads to developed nations and everyone is worse off because people are selfish. The exact same thing happened with covid vaccines. We will keep getting new and worse diseases while people don't realize that a disease in a poor country is an epidemic or pandemic waiting to happen in the entire world. We need global efforts to give free access to medicine for every country in the world. We will not solve diseases if people can't afford treatment and spread them everywhere.

As a kid, I remember reading about "the consumption" - which is a pretty apt descriptor for how tuberculosis chips away at your health and life if untreated. It's presence is still seen in older media, with things like cowboys spitting at people being a huge deal, since it was illegal in lots of places because of how easily tuberculosis can spread through saliva, or how Dracula described vampires' victims in detail that matches the victims of TB. It irks me that we could have eradicated it but then basically shrugged our shoulders and went, "eh, good enough." 😒 My hope is that one day the only way tuberculosis has an impact on people is through history or media such as literature or movies.

[@robinchesterfield42]

Yeah, that's how I originally read about it too, "consumption", and MAN that's a creepy name. One we don't use so much anymore, unfortunately. I remember, one time I was watching a Let's Play of "Oregon Trail 2" here on KZbin (yes, there's an Oregon Trail 2, and it's WAY deadlier and more detailed than the first one) and at one point, somebody in the wagon party got sick, and when you talk to people to try to figure out what's going on, one lady is like "Oh, I think he's come down with the consumption!"

Although currently dormant, I still have it and am able to get treatment but can't due to current medications that would cause severe problems to the rest of my body. Every year I need to get x-rayed and have blood drawn to see if my TB is no longer dormant and has become active. It's a scary feeling knowing you have TB. Every time you cough, don't feel good, have chest pressure, anything really, makes you paranoid that your TB has become active. You have to disclose that you have TB Everytime you go to a clinic or hospital and doctors and nurses are nervous to get near you and always wear high protection masks even before covid even for basic checkups. I have 3 children and a wife and am always scared I will spread the TB to them as well. All around it's a physical and mental nightmare for me and it's not even active TB...

Or he could work directly with policymakers in the Ministries of Health in India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Nigeria, etc. Or he could choose to work directly with the World Health Organization. But I guess producing videos viewed by millions of consumers puts more $$$ in his pocket and wastes more time and actually directly addressing the problem means he'd have to find some other cause to champion, which is more work for him.

TB was like "day one knowledge" when I grew up. Not because it was an active threat (we all had tuberculin skin tests), but because it killed so many important people in our history. Writers, poets, composers, when you learn about them it's so often "died of TB" "suffered and died from TB" etc .etc...

[@smalltime0]

TB should probably still be called consumption. Just because I know I've read the term plenty of times as consumption and until I found out that TB = Consumption, I always thought of TB as a mild far away thing.

[@BowandSvent]

Unfortunately due to the prohibitive cost of healthcare of the United States, getting that treatment costs tens of thousands of dollars alone; god forbid you have to stay any stretch of time in a hospital for that treatment period. If the disease doesn't kill you then the sheer stress of the medical bills will.

[@MegaLokopo]

It isn't really that bad in the us, you just have to ask for a lower bill and negotiate, and your bill will very quickly become much lower.

[@BowandSvent]

@@MegaLokopo you can ask for the bill to be itemized, at which point many insignificant costs may be removed because of how a hospital charge master works but ultimately if you end up having to spend a significant amount of time in a room or the ER your bill will be within the tens of thousands within a matter of days. A single ER visit cost my girlfriend 35k and there wasn't even an overnight stay. Merely seeing a doctor for 5 minutes costs upwards of 300. If you are wealthy you can afford this kind of thing easily but for the rest of us these are bills that will easily and immediately break the bank with little to no chance of financial recovery.

[@MegaLokopo]

@@BowandSvent I have negotiated with hospitals to bring costs from as high as two hundred thousand dollars and change, down to five thousand and change. I have on other occasions had bills go down from two hundred dollars down to 10 dollars.

[@celisewillis]

​​@@MegaLokopo even if that worked (it doesn't in most cases) you have to constantly call your hospital and 3 different departments of your insurance company, and send the same paperwork over and over. The cost of treating tuberculosis with the exact same medicine in Japan is $35. As opposed to whatever the US hospital/insurance feels like charging. Don't you think you deserve to spend time with your family and friends instead of negotiating your own health with these jerks? It's a waste of your time. Every other developed country has a way more efficient and affordable medical system for *identical treatment.* The US is the richest country in the world. We deserve that. You deserve that.

[@MegaLokopo]

@@celisewillis You are basically saying you wouldn't be willing to get paid thousands of dollars just to make a few phone calls and send a few emails. I never said the system was perfect, it can and should be improved, but it isn't as bad as most people think. There are many other reasons why healthcare in japan is cheaper one of which is their tiny military. If they had to fully fund a military large enough to hold off china, they wouldn't be able to have such cheap medicine. You aren't making very good comparisons, we are the richest country, our treatments are better and we have more of them, we also fully fund a military with tax payer dollars that can protect every single ally we have, not a single ally of the us has been invaded since world war 2. Anyways many more people come to the us for medical treatments than they people who leave the us for treatment.

Interesting fact: tuberculosis (TB) is considered to be the "Great Mimicker" of many conditions, because some people who display symptoms of another disease, such as cancer of a certain part of the body, were ultimately diagnosed to have TB of that organ. Examples include gastrointestinal TB instead of colon cancer; pulmonary TB instead of fungal pneumonia, miliary TB instead of metastatic cancer, brain tuberculoma instead of brain metastases, TB arthritis instead of inflammatory arthritis, TB of the spine instead of spine metastases, genitourinary TB instead of kidney/bladder cancer, TB lymphadenitis (scrofula) instead of lymphoma, etc.

In Dr. Stone, they developed Sulfa antibiotics to cure the village priestess, for a second, they were scared that she had TB, and the cure they spent months on was for nothing, but suddenly, she got much worse, indicating that it was pneumonia, and the sulfa antibiotics were defeating the infection

My great-grandmother died of TB. My grandpa made it his mission to eradicate TB and dedicated all his life to it. He helped many people but I think he knew that he didn't succeed in his lifetime. I hope one day soon TB will be a horrible memory of the past and no longer something we have to live with in the present or future.

in the 80s and 90s there was an institution in Türkiye called the Fight the TB Foundation. Whenever you applied for a job,it was mandatory to go there to have an X-ray taken and get a clean sheet. In occupations that handle food, you had to repeat this every 6 months. How we forget these things is incredible...
