Warning...Tuberculosis!!

...Tuberculosis is Dangerous

Dr. Patrick Dakum, the Chief Executive Officer of the Institute of Human Virology, Nigeria, has
called on Nigerians to go for early test as part of efforts to effectively control tuberculosis in Nigeria as well as to curtail TB drug resistance. Dr Patrick advised Nigerians the first thing for the purpose of the public is to just screen yourself, thus it’s easy to go to any primary health care centre if you have any cough; if you have any relation that is coughing even if he says it’s just catarrh, go and just have your sputum checked; do routine chest x-rays. He emphasized that to fight drug resistance by tuberculosis, the identified cases must thoroughly be treated while treatment must be completed.
On a final note;the Dr warned that TB was a very active infection, pointing out that if drug resistant TB was not addressed, then treatment would be too expensive, while mortality rate could increase.

Now you know... Thanks!!
