TUBERCULOSIS – TUBERCULOSIS VACCINATION

WHAT IS TUBERCULOSIS? 

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium. This disease can affect different parts of the body, but it most often affects the lungs.

The following information details the different aspects of this disease:

SYMPTOMS

Tuberculosis may be without symptoms, or it may appear with a variety of symptoms, including cough, fever, night sweats, weight loss, fatigue, chest pain, shortness of breath, and the appearance of blood in a cough. Symptoms can vary, depending on which organ is affected.

OCCURRENCE

Tuberculosis is still one of the most significant infectious diseases in the world. It spreads globally and affects developing countries the most. It is in especially high abundance in Asia and Africa.

TRANSMISSION

Tuberculosis is transmitted through the air by tiny droplets containing the bacteria. Transmission can take place when sneezing, talking, or coughing the bacteria out of the lungs.

CONTAGIOUSNESS

Tuberculosis is a contagious disease, but contagiousness depends on many factors, including the condition of the infected individual, the type of tuberculosis, and the level of exposure. People with the active form of tuberculosis are contagious, while people with latent tuberculosis (where the bacteria are in the body but do not cause disease) are less contagious.

CONSEQUENCES

If tuberculosis is not treated, it can have serious consequences, including spreading the infection throughout the body and damaging organs. In extreme cases, tuberculosis can be fatal.

WHEN SHOULD I GET VACCINATED AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS?

Vaccination against tuberculosis is carried out with the BCG vaccine (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin). This vaccine is a live, attenuated form of the Mycobacterium bovis bacterium and aims to strengthen the immune system against tuberculosis.

BCG vaccination is usually given to newborns or infants who are at high risk of contracting tuberculosis, usually between 4 days and 6 weeks after birth. This vaccination is carried out in countries with a high incidence of tuberculosis and in children who have certain risk factors for infection.

The BCG vaccine is quite effective in protecting against severe forms of tuberculosis in children. It is important for doctors to decide who should be vaccinated based on risk factors and the epidemiological situation in the area.

HOW GIMMEXIN CAN HELP

Gimmexin is a syrup that was developed to help offset the adverse effects of vaccination, particularly acute inflammatory reactions, and suppression of the neurotoxicity of aluminium, which is contained in vaccines as an adjuvant.

Reduction of inflammation. Gimmexin contains substances such as curcumin that have an anti-inflammatory effect. These substances may help to reduce inflammatory reactions that can occur after vaccination.

Suppression of aluminium neurotoxicity. The curcumin in Gimmexin forms a complex with aluminium, which helps reduce the neurotoxicity of aluminium. This is important, because some vaccines contain aluminium salts as adjuvants to increase the effectiveness of the vaccine.

Improved tissue oxygenation. The organic germanium Ge-132 in Gimmexin can help improve tissue oxygenation, which can promote overall health.

Antioxidant effects. The syrup also contains vitamin C, which has antioxidant effects. This can help protect cells from free radical damage.

Immunostimulatory effects. Some ingredients in Gimmexin may also support the immune system, which may be helpful after vaccination.

Adaptogenic effects. Gimmexin contains adaptogens that can help the body better cope with stress and adverse influences.

Natural ingredients: All Gimmexin ingredients are natural and have been selected for their beneficial effects on health.

Overall, Gimmexin was developed to provide support for immunity and overall health after vaccination and to reduce adverse effects that may occur after vaccination.
