Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. TB spreads through the air when a person with TB of the lungs or throat coughs, sneezes, or talks. It affects people that stay in over crowded room with poor ventilation. Somebody with HIV/AIDs can also have tuberculosis infection so there could be infection. It leads to immune suppression. The bacteria usually attack the lungs, but they can also damage other parts of the body. TB is preventable by immunization, good nutrition and avoiding over crowded areas. It is treatable but requires appropriate medical diagnosis or laboratory investigations. It can be treated through the use of appropriate anti-TB drugs.
Malaria is an infestation caused by plasmodium specie that is carried by an infected female Anopheles mosquito. Malaria causes symptoms that typically include fever, tiredness, vomiting, and headaches. It is preventable and curable but If left untreated, it can kill. It thrives in an untidy and unclean environment.
In 2016, nearly half of the world’s population was at risk of malaria. Most malaria cases and deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa.
Hepatitis is a group of infection that causes inflammation of the liver. It’s mostly viral in nature, but there are other possible causes such as autoimmune hepatitis and hepatitis that occurs as a secondary result of medications, drugs, toxins, and alcohol. There are different types of Hepatitis ranging from A to E.
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections that are passed from one person to another through sexual contact. The causes of STDs are bacteria, parasites, yeast, and viruses. Most STDs affect both men and women, but in many cases the health problems they cause can be more severe for women. If a pregnant woman has an STD, it can cause serious health problems for the baby.
