Fight against Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis is a contagious disease caused by a microbe called the Koch bacillus which lives and multiplies in the lungs of sick people who are not treated.
It is a very serious illness for the individual and society. Indeed, when the Koch bacilli which come from a sick man are inhaled by a healthy subject, they settle in the lung and will produce a small abscess which will soon empty to leave in its place a cavern, that is to say a more or less large hole in the lung.
In this cave, the Koch bacilli will be able to multiply until they become several million bacilli and this new patient carrying a cave becomes contagious and transmits the disease to other healthy people.
To prevent a patient from contaminating healthy people around them, they simply need to regularly take the medications provided to them free of charge by anti-tuberculosis dispensaries or health centers.
If he is treated regularly for at least a year, he will be permanently cured. In addition, to prevent a child from becoming tuberculosis, it is enough for him or her to be vaccinated to be protected against tuberculosis for 10 to 15 years.
In Algeria, tuberculosis represents a significant public health problem that must be resolved by all means, in particular the application of basic hygiene rules and the BCG vaccination of all children at birth and, of course, the treatment of all patients.
