How to attack a person by TB? What type of TB have exist? How to prevent it?

Please let me know the above question answer as soon as possible as my on friend has attacked by TB.
Answer:
First you should know tuberculosis is a perfectly curable disease, if your friend will take all the pills the doctor will gave him. The treatment is long (6-18 months), the pills are many and with a lot of side effects, but if he interrupts the treatment the disease will be back and next time it will be very difficult to treat it, maybe impossible.
The cause of TB is Mycoplasma Tuberculosis a bacteria also called Koch's bacillus. It is spread by aerosol droplets from diseased persons. So you MUST test yourself and all your friend's friends because you can also have TB.
TB is affecting almost any organ, usually the lung but also the lymph nodes, the small bowel, the bones, the genital organs, the skin, the brain, the spleen, the kidneys.
The gravity of this disease is given by the fact many persons do not get or take the treatment. Under treatment everybody is cured. But if you don't take it all, as the doctor is ordering, you can get a severe, untreatable form of TB
The chance of your catching TB is slim. You need close personal contact. So you need to spend about 8 hours a week with the person who has TB. Most cases of TB are not contagious.
Stop panicking! If the hospital thinks you are at risk you will be called in for screening.
