Maheen Nafees Khan, Nida Khan, Ghazfa Anwer and Areeba Akbar
Tuberculosis is a contagious disease caused by the causative agent Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Tuberculosis attacks the lungs, yet can similarly impact distinctive parts of the body. The wellspring of transmission of Tuberculosis is through the air when the TB sufferer coughs or sneezes, and blood transfusion. TB grows slowly, thus the disease often is chronic and needs treatment for upto half ~2 years, particularly if TB get resistance. 33% of the world's population is thought to have been contaminated with M. tuberculosis, and new diseases happen in around 1% of the populace every year. Thus, the fundamental goal of this article is to check the knowledge and awareness of contagious disease among medical and non-medical students. For this purpose, a survey was carried out among the therapeutic and non-restorative understudies. Total of 100 survey forms were distributed by 3 students in different departments of university that include: Pharmacy (30%), Microbiology (10%), Biochemistry (6%), Biotechnology (15%), BBA (11%), Commerce (12%), English (10%), Computer science (6%). The survey took around 30 days. An agreeable reaction got from the students. This study revealed that the students overall have good knowledge regarding TB. The knowledge was analysed after determining various components for assessing the knowledge these include general information about TB, TB is an infectious disease, mode of transmission of TB, causes of TB, treatment and duration of treatment. Majority of respondents was aware to give correct answer and showed the reason of having good knowledge The gap is there in knowledge score when compared with various age groups and medical and non-medical students, there is clear findings that difference in knowledge is reason of medical background but in turn it is alarming situation because the respondents in our community is divided on various educational programs so here should be awareness and knowledge based programs be there for enhancing overall knowledge that in turn reducing the burden of such contagious diseases.
