How long until you die from T.b.?

Best Tip

If you get treatment, you probably won't die from TB.

And, with most forms of the disease, it will take a long time to kill you even without treatment.

However, there's a new strain of "super" TB that can kill people in a month or so without treatment.

This is NOT necessarily fatal.
TB? as in tuberculosis? i thought they could cure that these days (as far as not dieing) .. you just can't work with kids, that type of thing...
TB is not always a terminal illness these days. It can also arrest itself. My mother had TB as a child and it arrested itself and now all she has is scar tissue on her lung.
Two days
do you have Tb or do you just have the germ.?you do not have to die from it as there are meds you can take.my grandaughter and i had the test and it came up positive but then you have toy have a chest x-ray which was neg. they wanted to put her on meds for 9 months but come to find out the nurse had mesured the test on her arm wrong so she does not have to do the med . so be sure that if the test on your arm come up into a large hard bump and measues more than 7 milimeters.
if you take the test and it comes up positive you are not supposed to do it again you just have to have chest X rays.oh and if you are positive the health dept will call you .they can tell you all you need to know
