(Jithari Hopital for TB situated at Jithari, Saurashtra (Gujarat). India)Tuberculosis (T.B.) is an airborne disease caused by bacteria which was first isolated in 1882 by German physician named Robert Koch. But in Ayurveda (which is written before hundreds of year) T.B. is described very well in details. In Ayurveda T.B. is of 6 types depending upon the organ of body is infected. (Like this, Ayurveda has also described HIV in details). These bacteria develops in dirty and dense area very rapidly. These bacteria generally attack lungs, but any organ of the body can be affected. The bacteria can get into the air when someone with T.B. infection coughs, sneezes, shouts or spits. people nearby possibly inhale the infected air.
Symptoms : Our body is made up of small cells, which bacteria of T.B. destroys resulting in thinness. T.B. infection usually occurs initially in the lungs. If the immunity system fails to stop reproductions of bacteria then the person gets infected. Symptoms that occur are tiredness or weakness, loss in weight, fever and sweats at night. In the advanced stage symptoms can include coughing, chest pain, coughing up of blood and shortness of breath.
Now-a-days T.B. is totally curable, provided the patient completes the course of treatment. For the treatment patient need not be admitted to hospital. Just taking antibiotics regularly for 6-9 months will cure the disease.
Climate of Saurashtra (part of Gujarat) in India is the best for curing T.B. A 776-bed hospital built by Late King of Bhavnagar at Jithari is now about to shut down because of lack of patients. (Photo : Above)
Though the disease is totally curable, in India every year 3.50 lac dies because of T.B.
