Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis is a bacterial condition that commonly targets the lungs, resulting in sweats, weight loss, and chronic coughing. There are two kinds of Tuberculosis, latent and active. With latent TB, the bacteria is present in the body, but one doesn't experience symptoms. If tuberculosis is latent, it can be treated with the antibiotic isoniazid. Active tuberculosis is treated with INH, as well as other prescription drugs, such as pyrazinamide.
