Tuberculosis
TB: Understanding, Treating, and Preventing a Curable Disease
Tuberculosis: A Curable Infectious Disease
Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While it primarily affects the lungs, it can spread to other organs. TB is curable and preventable, but requires long-term treatment.
At Healers Clinic, we provide comprehensive TB care including diagnosis, treatment, and supportive care. Our approach combines conventional anti-TB therapy with integrative support for optimal recovery.
Key Facts About TB
- Curable with proper treatment
- Caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis
- Spread through airborne droplets
- Can be latent (dormant) or active
What is Tuberculosis?
Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It primarily affects the lungs (pulmonary TB) but can also affect other organs (extrapulmonary TB). TB spreads through airborne particles when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks.

Common presentations
Types of Tuberculosis
Latent TB Infection (LTBI)
TB bacteria are in the body but not causing active disease. The immune system keeps them contained. People with latent TB have no symptoms and cannot spread TB to others.
Pulmonary TB
Active TB disease in the lungs. This is the most common form and is contagious. Symptoms include chronic cough, fever, and weight loss.
Extrapulmonary TB
TB affecting organs other than the lungs, such as lymph nodes, bones, joints, kidneys, or brain. Common in people with HIV.
Drug-Resistant TB
TB that does not respond to standard antibiotics. Includes multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB).
What's Causing Your Tuberculosis
Identifying the underlying causes of tuberculosis allows us to target treatment effectively for lasting results.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection
Definitive causeThe bacteria are inhaled and establish infection in the lungs, where they multiply and cause tissue damage.
Reactivation of Latent TB
Most common cause of active TBImmune system weakening (HIV, diabetes, medications) allows dormant bacteria to reactivate and cause active disease.
Direct Spread from Active Case
Common in household contactsClose, prolonged contact with an active TB patient transmits the bacteria.
Weakened Immune System
Common in HIV, diabetes, malnutritionConditions that impair immunity allow TB to progress from latent to active.
How We Assess Causes
Our comprehensive evaluation combines detailed health history, advanced diagnostic testing, and constitutional assessment to identify the unique combination of factors contributing to your tuberculosis.
Important Note
The probabilities shown are based on clinical research and our patient population. Your individual case may have different contributing factors. A comprehensive evaluation is necessary to determine your specific root causes.
