What makes things worse is the fact that a vaccine for TB currently doesn’t exist, leaving health units hard-pressed if an outbreak of TB ever materializes. Thankfully, certain medical facilities, such as those managed by U.S. HealthWorks Medical Group, provide urgent care in Tukwila, King County, and can offer TB tests so that the disease can be diagnosed and treated early on before it worsens.
TB is an airborne disease that usually attacks a person’s pulmonary system, giving the patient chronic coughs, fevers, and night sweats that last for weeks. While a person with a relatively strong immune system may be able to fight off the germs that cause the disease, he or she can spread TB by coughing or sneezing in public.
