No It could just be a sinus infection. Unless you have been around someone who has had it , then go get your self checked. Besides with TB your symptoms are way different then just green phlegm
2 :
just an infection. probably just a URI. no TB, but go to emergendy room and waste everyones money anyhow.retard
3 :
You could have sinus infections causing this, bronchitis is the main infection , which causes a green color,,, also allergies can cause this, especially when the pine trees releases all that green pollen,,, Hope this helps

Many illegals entering this country have tuberculosis and or other diseases

Many illegals entering this country have tuberculosis and or other diseases?
"TB's swift, deadly return now is lethal for about 60 percent of those infected because of new Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis. Until recently MDR-TB was endemic to Mexico. This Mycobacterium tuberculosis is resistant to at least two major anti-tubercular drugs.... Latent disease explodes later.... The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ascribed 42 percent of all new TB cases to 'foreign born' people who have up to eight times higher incidences apparently, 66 percent of all TB cases coming to America originate in Mexico, the Philippines and Vietnam." Other health threats from illegals include, according to the report: Chagas disease, also called American trypanosomiasis or "kissing bug disease," is transmitted by the reduviid bug, which prefers to bite the lips and face.... The disease also infiltrates America's blood supply... No cure exists.... Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease... is endemic to northeastern states because illegal aliens and other immigrants brought leprosy from India, Brazil, the Caribbean and Mexico. Dengue fever is exceptionally rare in America... Recently, according to the report, there was a virulent outbreak of dengue fever in Webb County, Texas, which borders Mexico.... Polio was eradicated from America, but now reappears in illegal immigrants as do intestinal parasites, says the report. Malaria was obliterated, but now is re-emerging in Texas. The Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons report includes a strong prescription for protecting the health of Americans: Closing America's borders with fences, high-tech security devices and troops. Rescinding the U.S. citizenship of "anchor babies." Punishing the aiding and abetting of illegal aliens as a crime. An end to amnesty programs. Another good reason to deport right?

Its not only from Illegal aleins many american citizens have it and dont take their medicine so it mutates....and the more it mutates the more costly the medicine.......... Just so it is known no one in North America except the Native Americans is really a native citizen at one point the were Immigrants or their ancestors were.....

DISEASES NEED A WAY TO GET BETTER OPPORTUNITIES TOO!! These are probably just the smart America loving kind of diseases you un-politically correct bozo!
4 :
You are incorrect on your assumptions. Most "new" old diseases are entering because of climatic changes. When the climate changes, the vectors like insects, also change. Immigration is a factor in disease transmission, but probbably at the same level as turism, if not less. If you want to solve a problem, you can not start with preconceived ideas that will take you into the wrong solution.
5 :
more of a reason to keep em in check. and send all the others back(like that ever happen). adios amigo.
6 :
another reason to deport right? what kind of ignorant, insane, stupid question is this? you really wanna ban people now based on their health? it doesn't even deserve a human answer, so i will leave it at this: Xenophobia, look it up in a dictionary. It means that people like you should be more affraid of people like you.

...Why does Texas always have to be the one that gets all the BS??? I live here damnit!! And by the way, If that's your picture, you're hot!! I'm single ya know? Oh ya! Sorry..

We have the disastrous diseases that are bankrupting our hospitals (86 hospitals in California declared bankruptcy in the last two years). --Tuberculosis (which claims two-million people a year now, and was virtually wiped out before the Mexican/Latino invasion), --Chagas Disease (known as the "Kiss of Death," kills 50,000 annually), --Hepatitis A and B (there have been 100,000 reported cases passed on by illegal workers/carriers in the food industry in the last couple of years), --and leprosy (also virtually unknown in the United States exceeded 7,000 new cases) --malaria (which had been obliterated), --West Nile Virus, --E-coli intestinal parasites. And the new and exciting Morgellons ALL Of The Above Diseases Although Found Throughout The Nation Are CONCENTRATED On The US/Mexico Border Where The Highest Numbers Of ILLEGAL Aliens Are Found
9 :
Sorry to disappoint you but I dont think diseases can pick which race to infect...too bad!
10 :
Wow.Thats alot of diseases.And alot of sick people.How sad.I feel sorry for them,and for you.I think it's strange that someone with the name "angels among us" would have so little compassion for human beings.Wierd name for someone with your opinions.Anchor babies?What,they have anchors tying them down?Who came up with that ridiculous name?Anyway,those babies are american citizens,no matter who their parents are.You wouldn't put a child of a murderer in jail because it's parent was one,would you?Why make the child suffer for the sins of it's parents?Just be thankful those kids have homes where their parents love them,so many don't.
11 :
They bring their sickness and filth and live next door to decent people, with all their drug dealing, prostitution, idiotic way of "life", Why don't they just get the hell out of Dodge, and go back to chalopez or wherever they are from, I know if I walked into a crowded place and all eyes were on me, because I was not wanted there, I would get out, so See Ya, Don't come back now Hear??
12 :
if i had "an angel among us" i would b*tch slap her in a minute. that angel must b as ignorant as they come. a truly ignorant, rude, misinformed individual that needs to b dropped kicked in her baby maker. LOL... u make me laugh my @ss off. i hope & pray u r sterile so ur venomous thoughts & morals aren't passed on to any of ur offspring. ppl like the "angel" r the reason that the US is where its at right now. may God have mercy on u. was that a bit harsh, maybe no more cafe for me. LOL..
13 :
You're right. Illegals aren't stopped at the border and given health checks. And the really ill ones aren't quarantined. They come into the US with diseases and then send their kids to schools to mix with American children. Why should American kids be at risk with diseases from third world countries? It's pathetic how pro-illegals don't care about this horrible situation. I guess they want American kids to die.
14 :
Yes, world overpopulation is a great thing. Brought by such religions as the Roman Catholics, Mormons, and let snot forget the Islam.
15 :
your argument is weak, by your logic, in order to keep all diseases that exist elsewhere America would need to stop imports of all goods, no visitors or tourist would be allowed in and non of our troops from overseas would be allowed to come back into the states. i do not support illegal immigrants, but for cryin' out loud, try to find something with a little more conviction

Girl, your peopel From england brought more dieases to U.S then mexicans combine. Get a life u hore

Tuberculosis and contagious question

Tuberculosis and contagious question?
Why is it so that active TB patients are not contagious after two weeks of therapy and medications?
Respiratory Diseases - 1 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
I would say that the germs are beat down and are very weak after 2 weeks. And can't really spread in you or to anyone else. The bad part is the weaker germs are killed off first and if you stop taking your medication, the strong ones are left to begin growing again. That's like breeding a super bug, one that is resistant to your medication

1 :
Cause? Could be lack of oxygen due to lung damage. Could be from fever. Don't know if I understand your question.
2 :
Tuberculosis is an infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It most commonly affects the lungs. Tuberculosis is one of the most deadly and common major infectious diseases today. TB infection begins when MTB bacilli reach the pulmonary alveoli, infecting alveolar macrophages, where the mycobacteria replicate exponentially. When it has increased to such an extent that it needs to more space…it is going to find ways to spread. TB is spread by aerosol droplets expelled by people with active TB disease of the lungs when they cough, sneeze, speak, or spit. Each droplet is 5 micrometre|µm in diameter and contains 1 to 3 bacilli ---RATIONALE FOR COUGH. TB infections get contained to certain areas by the granuloma formation….Granulomas can have caseous necrosis in the centre. Sometimes they may break open during a coughing bought and lead to coughing up blood hemoptysis. –RATIONALE FOR HEMAPTYSIS CHILLS –are due to our immune system response to the diseases. It is a cycle of FEVER – CHILLS – NIGHT SWEATS. RATIONALE FOR CHILLS – IMMUNE RESPONSE?? MILD FEVER – because the body doesn’t recognize the danger of this bacteria as macrophages would have already phagocytosed them and contained them in a granuloma…The body knows that there is a fever…but thinks it has contained it.. RATIONALE FOR MILD FEVER

Tuberculosis in South Africa - why are successes so low

Tuberculosis in South Africa - why are successes so low?
If this DOT (Directly Observed Treatment Short-course) is just about the only method to ensure that patients take their meds, why does the government not employ more "Observers" ? http://www.plusnews.org/Report.aspx?ReportId=79107

1 :
Simple because the locals here are to doff to remember to take their tablets. Or they do not care. And because they drink their pills on and off the terrible new strain of TB has developed in SA, a very hard to cure strain of TB.
2 :
It wouldn't be feasible for government to employ observers in most cases, have you any idea how rampant TB actually is in South Africa, there is no comparison to 1st world countries, the sheer amount of observers needed would put an end to such a programme before it could even properly take off. When I went for my x-rays for the emigration medical tests I was chatting to the doctor, he also said, putting aside infections in the African population that most wouldn't believe how many white South Africans that go for those tests actually have TB, frightening, it only takes one breath or a microscopic spit particle and you are infected.
3 :
The treatment take 6 months and if you don't Finnish it and try start again later your body resist the treatment So your are in Isolation at hospital for 6 months no people who may came and visit Therefor so many people stop the treatment and die of it

Im a little scared because in my town jsut today they found like 4-7 people who have TB. and one of them has the same strand as that guy. I think that guy was extremely selfish, he put all the people on the plane at risk along with the risk of a potential outbreak. Not only should the guy be punished, but on the news it said that when he was at the canadian border, when they scan his passport a warning flashed but the man whochecked the passport just let him go. They should both be punished

Could bacteria (e.g. M. tuberculosis, E. coli) mutate into a form that overwhelms our Immune System

Could bacteria (e.g. M. tuberculosis, E. coli) mutate into a form that overwhelms our Immune System?
Since bacteria like tuberculosis and S. aureus become more and more drug-resistant over time, could they eventually evolve into a form smart enough to overwhelm our bodily immune systems? Would they then become identical to HIV/AIDS?
Infectious Diseases - 1 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
These diseases will not become like AIDS because they are not AIDS. AIDS attacks the immune system directly. TB attacks mainly the respiratory system, and e coli attacks mainly the digestive system. Some years ago a strain of E coli did mutate to become a serious illness, killing some people. Usually E coli is a minor illness that resolves itself quickly or shows no symptoms at all. The bad strain is still in existence, but most of the E coli in the world is the minor kind. Well, it is not good for a disease organism to kill its host quickly, so these very severe acute illnesses tend to mutate back in the more minor direction, so they can continue to be spread around

OMG I think I have Tuberculosis

OMG I think I have Tuberculosis?
Okay so I'm really upset right now my mom never takes care of her health... I tell her everyday to but she doesn't listen and is very irresponsible for her age. Her work requires her to get a TB test annually. She got it done last year, and had a swelling thing after the test. So it came out positive for Tuberculosis. Then she got further evaluated with an X-Ray but that came out negative. Then this year the same thing happened... after the TB test she had swelling again in the arm at the injection site. She is going to get an X-Ray, again, tommorrow to be further evaluated. I just found all this out today and I'm really scared I might have it too. I guess my questions are- 1) Why does her TB test come out positive but her X-Ray come out negative? Does this mean she has it or doesn't have it? 2) Could I have it too and what should I do... I'm incredibly frustrated right now... please help if you have any information about this!

The TB skin test means she has been exposed to the disease. The x-ray shows if there is any sign of the disease in her lungs. If the doctors think she may have active TB she will go on medicine for a while. Now with you, you should have a skin test. You may be fine since your mother is displaying no signs of infection. This would be cough, fever, weight loss, night sweats. Good luck
3 :
First of all, relax. You do not have TB. Neither does your Mother. A positive PPD test means they have been exposed to a person who had Tb. A negative Chest xray means no Tb. They treat with antibiotics for the exposure. Tb can affect other organs, besides the Lungs (Kidneys come to mind). You should have a Tb (ppd) test to see if you convert as exposed. You will most likely be negative. Anyway, as I said, relax, you are fine
