Take on TB

Too many people still suffer from tuberculosis (TB).

TB is preventable and curable.

  • TB is spread through the air from one person to another.
  • Symptoms of TB disease include:
    • Cough lasting longer than 3 weeks
    • Chest pain
    • Night sweats
    • Weight loss
    • Weakness
    • Chills
    • Fever
  • A typical person with TB disease in the United States requires 4 or 6 months of medication plus:
    • X-rays
    • Lab tests
    • Follow-up and testing of contacts

TB can happen anywhere and to anyone.

  • To eliminate TB, we must prioritize groups at increased risk for TB.
  • People at increased risk for TB infection should get tested.
  • Treating latent TB infection prevents TB disease.

Eliminating TB requires a comprehensive approach.

  • Testing and treatment of populations at risk for TB
  • Strong TB programs to find and treat cases
  • Addressing the threat of drug-resistant TB
  • Engaging affected communities and medical providers
