Urinary Tract Infections and Tuberculosis

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) occur when bacteria enter the urinary system, leading to symptoms like frequent urination, pain, and discomfort. They are common and often treated with antibiotics. Tuberculosis (TB), on the other hand, is a serious infectious disease caused by bacteria that primarily affects the lungs but can target other parts of the body. It spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. TB requires prolonged treatment with specific antibiotics to eliminate the infection and prevent complications. Both conditions can be serious if not treated properly.
