Groundwork Of Research And Examination Of The Tuberculosis Disease

Throughout my groundwork of research and examination of the Tuberculosis disease, I was able to feature the upsets and tender situation TB not only has on the human race but, our world as a whole. The research available indicates a strong demand in support with research and finances, to help better conquer this disease and provide an effective cure. However, with the lack of help, and neglect this disease poses, there is no say in whether or not our world will conquer this upset. But if our world begins to put the time in effort into focusing on this disease, then there is a chance the fear of TB will no longer haunt our world.

Tuberculosis History For thousands of years Tuberculosis (TB) has been affecting mankind, from ancient times

This can happen when someone with the untreated, active form of tuberculosis coughs, speaks, sneezes, spits, laughs or sings¨(Mayo Clinic, 2016). Environmentally, tuberculosis thrives in developing countries and poor residencies where hygiene and resources are harder to maintain. ¨Six nations—India, China, Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan, and South Africa—account for 60% of the total TB cases in the world. The rate of progress in these countries will have a major influence on whether or not public health experts reach 2020 goals for fighting the disease, the report states¨(Cohen, 2016). Since TB, flourishes in middle-income countries, it becomes much harder to fight and supply the needed vaccines and medications used to control the disease. “We have a vicious cycle that doesn’t allow these countries to get more money domestically, and international money won’t come to them,” he says. “We have to find a different mechanism to support them¨(Cohen, 2016). Most Americans have the luxury of knowing nothing about TB, however, as the world's biggest health problem TB can strike anywhere at anytime. Tuberculosis can affect anyone of any age, and therefore, it thrives on those with a weaker immune system. Incorporating the fact that Tuberculosis is an airborne spread disease, it is much easier for TB to get around, making it harder and harder to fight. ¨Some two million people die of TB every year. And one third of the world’s population, about two billion people, carry TB without developing symptoms”(Bhattacharya, 2005). With over two million people dying every year due to TB, it is time that our world begins to step up and take this disease down for
