Incazelo enemininingwane
Isifo sofuba isifo esingelapheki, esithathelwanayo esibangelwa ngokuyinhloko i-M. TB hominis (i-Koch's bacillus), ngezinye izikhathi i-M. TB bovis.Amaphaphu yiwona mgomo wawo, kodwa noma yisiphi isitho singase sitheleleke.Ingozi yokutheleleka nge-TB yehle kakhulu ekhulwini lama-20.Nokho, ukuvela kwakamuva kohlobo olumelana nemithi1, ikakhulukazi phakathi kweziguli ezine-AIDS2, kuvuselele isithakazelo ku-TB.Izehlakalo zokutheleleka zibikwe cishe izigameko eziyizigidi eziyi-8 ngonyaka nezinga lokufa kwabantu abayizigidi ezi-3 ngonyaka.Inani lokufa lidlule ku-50% kwamanye amazwe ase-Afrika anamazinga aphezulu e-HIV.Izinsolo zomtholampilo zokuqala kanye nokutholwe nge-radiographic, nokuqinisekiswa kwaselabhorethri okwalandela ngokuhlolwa kwesikhwehlela namasiko kuyindlela(izindlela) zendabuko ekuxilongeni kwe-TB5,6 esebenzayo.Kodwa-ke, lezi zindlela azikwazi ukuzwela noma zidla isikhathi, ikakhulukazi azifanele iziguli ezingakwazi ukukhiqiza isikhwehlela esanele, i-smear-negative, noma okusolakala ukuthi zine-extra-pulmonary TB.I-TB IgG/IgM Combo Rapid Test yenzelwe ukudambisa lezi zithiyo.Ukuhlola kuthola i-IgM ne-IgG i-anti-M.TB ku-serum, i-plasma, noma igazi eliphelele emizuzwini engu-15.Umphumela omuhle we-IgM ubonisa ukutheleleka okusha kwe-M.TB, kuyilapho impendulo evumayo ye-IgG iphakamisa ukutheleleka kwangaphambilini noma okungapheli.Isebenzisa ama-antigen athile e-M.TB, iphinda ithole i-IgM anti-M.TB ezigulini ezigonywe nge-BCG.Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuhlolwa kungenziwa abasebenzi abangaqeqeshiwe noma abanamakhono amancane ngaphandle kwemishini yaselabhorethri enzima.
