On the other hand, according to the statistics of tuberculosis in Hajiganj upazila, the number of patients till July this year stood at 229. This number was higher until the month of April. Since then, the number of tuberculosis tests for coronary heart disease has decreased.

However, the message of hope is that the recovery rate of tuberculosis in Hajiganj upazila is 95 percent. The death rate is 4.5 percent. The remaining 5 percent is associated with other diseases.
Talking to the concerned people, it has been learned that since 2016, three types of tests have been conducted in Hajiganj Upazila to diagnose tuberculosis. The first is a sputum test, the second is an X-ray, and the third is a test called extra pulmonary. The number of TB patients is increasing as the number of TB tests is increasing.
Doctors say that the main enemy of tuberculosis is smoking. Due to this smoking the number of tuberculosis patients gradually increased. Symptoms of tuberculosis also occur when the body does not have the immune system to control the disease. Rheumatic fever and osteoporosis are the initial symptoms of tuberculosis.
According to doctors, two out of every three people carry the TB germ. And the name of that bacterium is Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Hajiganj Upazila Health Complex’s TB, Tuberculosis Prevention and Control Officer Abdur Rahim said tuberculosis is also on the rise compared to corona. TB treatment is provided free of cost in coordination with BRAC. Regular TB patients are being contacted and treated. If you want to avoid tuberculosis, you have to refrain from smoking. White should be avoided in white places. He says most of the disease affects the poor more than the rich. Not eating good food is one of the obstacles in this disease.
