- Learn why tuberculosis, TB, is the world’s most infectious disease and how medical advancements are improving treatment.
--
In 2008, two 9,000-year old skeletons were found with their bones infected by an all too familiar bacterium. The ancient Greeks knew its effects as phthisis; the Incans called it chaky oncay; and today we call it tuberculosis, or TB. TB is still one of the world’s most infectious killers, causing more deaths than malaria or even HIV. How has it persisted for so long? Melvin Sanicas investigates.

You know shit's really bad when coughing up blood is only the beginning.

TYXHQ QHXYT literally
Guru usually when you cough up blood you need to drop everything you’re doing and go to the hospital. This is because when you cough up blood there is always an internal organ severly damaged. Just giving a tip here.

I was infected by TB when I was 12. I had this mild fever all the time along with cough. When I started coughing out blood they couldn't diagnose it. They thought it was pneumonia and gave me regular antibiotics. I stopped coughing blood but this was still inside me. I was getting weaker every day. After 1 year just when my body was about to give up, I was diagnosed with TB. Went through a treatment of 9 months. The side effects are pretty bad. 1 medicine made my urine red. Another gave me a puke feeling after taking it.
So, people give this disease some respect.
Same here man, the anti biotics were brutal
Tb has no symptom?
Same man. But my diagnosis was honestly ridiculous. TB wasn't in the lungs and they were still dormant, kinda like primary complex. A year later I got incredibly weak with little to no symptoms like very mild fever in the morning and especially in afternoons. They made me take the medication for 10 months but nothing much happened, only got clinical depression and a still enlarged lymph node. To this day, I still don't really know what this is but I'm still so scared of being diagnosed with something else because of those ten months. Glad you got better though...
@@riran6636 I also had it. Went to the hospital, got sent back home because they said "it is only a fever". That happend 3 more times. Until like half a year later, when I was feeling pretty much dead and empty, they diagnosed it. Turned out I was already sick half a year before I first went to the hospital.

I was always underestimating my months long cough I didn't know it's TB until I coughed out blood. I thought I was gonna die and felt the space around me and the time just expands, like everything is far or out of reach. The worst part is I stupidly didn't know how contagious it would be. Fortunately I recovered from it and I am now helping out TB patients.
Today my grandfather got his tb test done but he is not even having a single symptom ....my grandfather is suffering from urinary tract problem and he gets high fever due to increases in pus cells ......my grandfather just got some the part round with no red mark on his hand where he got his test ...can you tell me with your experiance is this type of things common in tb patience?

@@paulanonuevo5678 thanks ...btw today doctor told there is no chance of tb ....today i am really very happy😊😊😊😊
Hi, in an article published in "The New York medical journal" in 1912, Dr Charles Duncan desdribes how to prepare the vaccine for TB using your own saliva. He also describes it in his a self published book titled "AUTOTHERAPY". I also describe it in my book UROPATHY, The Most Powerful Holistic Therapy.
In a small glass bottle half cc of Saliva is diluted in 50 cc of distilled water or water boiled for 20 minutes and shaken vigorously for 5 minutes, let it rest and repeat a second time. Then push 10 cc of the filtrate through a 10 or 15 microme filter, similar to those attached to IV hoses, what comes through is the vaccine and it should be applied subcutaneously in an area where the skin is healthy.
Obviously, this remedy is not popular because there is no money for the pharmaceutical industry in it.
I got mantouks test and it turns negative but my doctor still gives me tb medicine which is harsh on me ended up being paralyzed from side effect i still worry i have tb but even the 2nd test is negative turns out its automimmune thats causes symptoms similiar to tb i had all symptoms except only no coughing blood
I had tb in 2009 and it was awful. I was quarantined for 3 weeks, had to take 4 different antibiotics at 4 times per day, and I also had to have 2 biopsies on the flesh surrounding the tb germs that were in my lungs. It was probably the most miserable, painful thing that I've ever experienced. I still have to have a chest xray every 6 months that the city health department pay for so they can make sure that my tb is still dormant.
Sorry for what you had to go through.. I wish you stay safe in this pandemic.

i have a very close family member who had TB. my heart breaks so much, because i don't want her to be sick. now she's on her treatment and medication. i hope that she can recover quickly.
Awh I she gets better soon
TB requires 6 months of antibiotics and if you don’t complete treatment, it comes back as a Drug Resistant TB infection and then it can come back as a more drug resistant version.
I had a close friend who used to have TB, she took her medicine for I think about two years or so to get rid of the disease, the treatment required multiple medicines so she needed to keep track of what medicines to take, which I think was the most frustrating and irritating part of having TB
Puri Puri correct
I used to inject streptomycin to a patient with tb. support her to have her treatment religiously so she can get better. when patients missed their doses, it just wont heal them.

Lost my sister to this on Saturday. Would never forget 20th of November 2021.
My paternal grandmother died of TB when I was only 3 or 4 years old.
I can still vividly remember my father taking me into a small wood-paneled room under what seemed to be a staircase. The room was cramped and lined with bookshelves... my father told me not to tell my mother, and I never did until he died in 2010...
I can clearly remember my father introducing me to his mother, for what would be the last time we ever saw eachother.
My grandma Jackie used to go for walks with me as a toddler. She was a big part of my life, until she became ill...
My last and only memory is of her telling me; "I'm not going to get to see you anymore..."
I remember getting emotional and trying to reason with her. My father let me stay long enough to say goodbye, and then we left... I was so young, they apparently didn't feel comfortable taking me to her funeral.
Years later, after my father's death; my mother mentioned my grandma Jackie in passing... I mentioned that I spoke to her as a child, shortly before her death from tuberculosis.
She was shocked and angry at my Dad for allowing me into a confined space with someone dying of tuberculosis...
I shrugged my mom off at the time, but looking back; I don't think I would have made the same choice as my father made.
Families want nothing more than to share their love and say goodbye at the end of life. There's nothing more sad than not being allowed to do that...

My dad's uncle contracted TB in Donegal as a child. The family lived in the country and there was nothing they could do to treat him at the time. They had to leave a child isolated in a hut on their plot for two years until he died, feeding him through the doorway. It's a story I'll never forget.

"You saved my life. You're a good man."
I live in Belgium and I had TB when I was 19. I live on a farm and I had probably contracted it as a child. 2015 saw a mayor outbreak among farm cattle and the farm where I live on was ordered to have all its animals killed, including our two dogs and 3 cats. Me and my parents needed to get tested and they found out I had TB and was in fact already sick even. The disease starts very slowly and no one will guess it is TB anymore because it is so rare in the richer countries. I was lucky, because had they not figured it out at that time, I would possibly have gotten way way sicker until maybe I would have died of it.
On the medicines: you have to take very strong antibiotics for 9 months, which have indeed a lot of side effects. I experienced constant fatigue and my urine was red for 3/4 of a year (not even joking). It seems almost insane that a disease which still so many people suffer has medication that is so dated and no improvements have been made since. Better medication really is needed.
It's really scary to witness the side effects of taking the medication to cure this disease. Thanks for sharing your story!
We live in the USA so doctors never suspected tb until my son literally couldn’t breathe anymore and was taken to the emergency room. Doctors here in the US need to remember this has not been eradicated, it is still alive and well. Now my son doesn’t have a lung and is on disability for the rest of his life.

I moved to Asheville, North Carolina last year at the beginning of the shut downs. I was hired to work at a bed and breakfast a few months later, and my god have I learned a lot! The house was built in 1889, the entire neighborhood is a historic district. Little did I know how historic...
Two blocks away from my job is the house where the 1st TB vaccine was discovered. Many of the houses where built and designed to treat patients with TB, these rooms with huge windows are called solariums... before they had a vaccine, they treated patients with sunlight and fresh mountain air. Asheville became internationally recognized as a place of wellness with an optimal climate to remove illness... and it just boggles my mind to learn that TB is so eerily similar to Covid... of ALL the places I could have chosen to move to at random during a pandemic, I don't think I could have chosen better... what are the odds? History is trippy, I swear that it calls to us somehow. Like the Shining.
Something Im surprised wasn't mentioned was just how hardy TB actually is. It's a remarkably slow reproducing bacteria (and in turn a slow mutator) but it also is very difficult to kill (hence the long treatment times). Once a TB cell survives a treatment, it almost always adapts to become resistant.
TB was almost eradicated and its making a ever increasing comeback right now. It's a big concern
Damn, the timing, I just took a TB test today.

Machrophages: I can kill bacteria that I engulf!
Body : Hold my medical conditions
@@electronresonator8882
Firstly, I did watch the video and get the point about medical conditions
Secondly, Macrophages are normally able to digest bacteria with reactive oxygen species However, tuberculosis bacterium has a thick, waxy mycolic acid capsule that protects it from these toxic substances. Therefore tuberculosis is able to reproduce inside the macrophage and will eventually kill the immune cell. Resulting in latent or active, tuberculosis. (Active symptomatic tb is when the macrophage become incapable of containing the bacteria) so in a way, im not wrong. Disappointed that Ted Ed did not talk about this...
I recommend you read up more about TB, the pathology is different from many other bacteria
@@pastelladium1952 You're right. Also the fact that they didn't mention the characteristic feature of TB to cause granulomas in the infected tissues and the fact that large parts of the damage are caused by the type 4 Hypersensitivity reaction to the bacteria. Also, TB can cause many more diseases such as Addison's disease and even meningitis in unvaccinated people.

My mother was diagnosed with tuberculosis last year. Being a diabetic for 15 years was the main cause of the infection. She had to go through several rounds of medication for over 9 months.
The worst part in tb is to deal with the extreme side effects to cure the infection.
Some of the side effects are lifelong.
Even today I am well versed with the names of medications.. Rifampin, Ethambutol, Isoniazid & Pyrazinamide.
Today I am so happy to see my mother has gained all the weight she had lost and fully recovered from the infection.
Thank you to all the doctors and scientists who made this happen 😊

@@justinfilipovic8939 Because they weren't exposed to TB. just because I didn't get the Ebola vaccine doesn't mean I will get Ebola, it just means I'm at a much higher risk.
also not exposed to TB or survivor selection
@@justinfilipovic8939 Herd immunity because of the vaccine. Trouble is the less people that are vaccinated the more chance of a resurgence of TB.
I was diagnosed with TB last year on my birthday...and it was the worst I could ever imagine...I didn't have a lot of symptoms so for almost 2 months everyone thought that it was just viral fever and a little bit of cold...thankfully I got correctly diagnosed before it was too late...my recovery went really smooth and I got relief just in like 3 months...I have to say that recovery is much easier that before now,and I'm hoping that it's going to get better

Wow... I find this disease fascinating. Thanks for the video.
My Mon got infected by the most severe form of TV and her treatment lasted for 3 years, she is healthy now and the doctor told she had a really less chance of survival but not exactly how much
I was a patient with TB and it took me 2 months for the medication. Yup, not 6 or 9 months. I was participating in a medical research about TB. There is a team consists of doctors in some countries who are developing some new compositions of pills for patient with TB to decrease the length of medication treatment. For me, the new pills composition worked. Hopefully, the research will be successful and bring new impact to the world.
If u think u got TB symptoms, go to the doctor immediately. TB is a chronic desease. It can be deadly if u r late treated and not consuming the pills regularly. Just don't do that and u'll be okay ❤️
That's great to hear, congratulations 😊. You are completely right about the importance of sticking to the treatment regiment. Not only does it lower your chances at a complete recovery it's also shown to have a higher risk in causing the MTB to develop immunity against the treatment. So, it's a good thing you mentioned this.

I also used to have TB last year, 2021. It was pretty awful dealing with bony aches in my back and ribs everytime I wokeup from sleep. Hard to breathe. Constant coughing is really frustating (tho I never coughed a blood which I think is lucky on my side) plus the side effects of the drugs that takes toll on your body. Luckily, I finished the treatment and considered healed. Even the treatment is done, it will take.months for your body to fully recovered. TB left me a trauma. Ever since that day, I always wear a mask even at home whenever I see someone coughing. I only remove my mask whenever I will eat or take a shower. When I do eat, I always distance myself on a place where a coughing happened. It becomes a habit of mine to spray hand alcohol in our house "to sanitize" the air. I even get angry at someone when they cough without something to cover on their mouth. If not for the treatment, I may be dead on this day.
Did you feel nauseas all the time and bad mood.. and feel like talking?
Currently have TB not doing that well but I'll keep on fighting!
Ebola: man this guy is like my big meaner brother

RIP Authur Morgan, he was a good man
Wow so that’s how you pronounce Wilhelm Röntgen. Thanks TedEd
Well not really
@@jakobstadler7969 it's German right? They pronounce their w like v
Wilhelm is alright. Röntgen was pronouced incorrectly. Now I know why it's called X-Ray in the US rather than 'Röntgen-Ray'. Still a great video though
NO, you don’t!
Uhm close but not really
R.I.P Arthur Morgan😢Low key i haven't cried like that in a game since gears of war 3 when Dom dies😢💔
I had TB and I had to go to surgery because my medicine weren’t working then they had to cut the side near my armpit to get the fluid out of my body luckily it didnt get really bad i am very greatful.
Tb is what wiped out 3/4 of my old village. We ended up with a roughly 90% mortality rate before we established proper infrastructure to combat spreads
That’s really sad. Medication is so cheap too, I just don’t understand why it isn’t more available to other countries. So sorry.
Hello dear friend, in an article published in "The New York medical journal" in 1912, Doctor Charles Duncan describes how to prepare the vaccine for TB using the patient’s own saliva. He also describes it in his a self-published book titled "AUTOTHERAPY". I describe it in my book UROPATHY, The Most Powerful Holistic Therapy. In a small glass bottle half cc of Saliva is diluted in 50 cc of distilled water or water boiled for 20 minutes and shaken vigorously for 5 minutes, let it rest and repeat a second time. Then push 10 cc of the filtrate through a 10 or 15 micron filter, similar to those attached to IV hoses, what comes through is the vaccine and it should be applied subcutaneously in an area where the skin is healthy. Obviously, this remedy is not popular because there is no money for the pharmaceutical industry in it. Salting your food to taste and adding a pinch of good salt to 250 ml of water or tea is also a great way to boost immune system.
The music was especially stunning in this video! First Ted-Ed where my attention drifted because of the music :)
Fascinating as always
A fine addition to my collection.
My friend recently passed away from TB. He wasn’t always good but he did his best and saved my life at the very last moment. Rest in peace Morgan.
Rest In Peace Morgan, stay strong❤️🌷💐🌺🌻🌹
Bruh,is this a references???
R. I. P Arthur Morgan..
I was always very interested in TB. Never had the time to research why it's the number 1 infectious disease. Thanks TED ED.
Animation are amazing..
And the narration
I love these ted ed videos n this voice is so calming
I love learning about old diseases, cause whenever we talk about old people in school, articles will talk about their deaths, and im the only one who knew what cholera or in this case tuberculosis was. and i feel cool when i do it
RIp Arthur Morgan, and the Moneh he never got.

Hi ted-ed
Another great lesson..
Now im familiar with T.B.
Thank you ted-ed..🙏👍😊
Looks like having a strong inmune system can prevent lots of thing...
Ikr it's almost as if that's its sole purpose
Bouutique Ms lol
How do people who don’t have underlying health problems get weak immune system?
random mutations in DNA its like hair color or any other trait
That is true Luis Grados, there is a natural product capable of boosting the strength of your immune system to its maximum level and that is common salt, the type that has not been processed in anyway other than what is required to package it. Avoid table salt, the fine, pure white stuff that flows like dust from the salt shaker. Salt your foods to taste and add a pinch of salt to the water or tea you drink. Salt kills the microbes that cause diseases but salt does not harm the benign protective microbes that keep you healthy. The only problem with good salt is that it has received a bad reputation from the people that benefit from sick people therefore they tell you that salt is bad for your health.
Thank u for sharing valuable information which will help me in my medical journey
I had TB when I was 4 year old and I’m glad I’m still living
