Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis, often called TB, is a bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Indonesia is one of eight countries that accounts for 2/3 of TB cases worldwide. This disease usually affects the lungs, but can also attack other organs in the body. TB symptoms can vary depending on the type of infection and the organs affected. During the COVID-19 pandemic, attention to other diseases, such as TB has decreased. The increasing risk of spreading TB after COVID-19 is a public health concern. Restrictions on social movement implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic may result in an increased risk of TB transmission among close contacts of TB sufferers. People who have had COVID-19, especially those who have had lung damage due to COVID-19 infection, may have a higher risk of developing TB due to a weakened immune system. This Community Service is carried out to increase public awareness of the dangers of TB that continue to lurk after COVID-19 and it is hoped that through this outreach and education, the public will become more aware of the symptoms of TB so they can check themselves at Primary Health Care.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has become one of the most significant events in history, impacting the global health system, as reported by the World Health Statistics by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2020. While its focus is on COVID-19, the pandemic has underscored the importance of respiratory health in everyday life. Throughout the pandemic, communities worldwide have learned more about the significance of maintaining a healthy respiratory system. However, with the end of the acute phase of the pandemic, attention to other acute respiratory infections (ARI) may have decreased. Diseases such as tuberculosis, influenza, pneumonia, bronchitis, and others remain serious threats to public health. Therefore, this Community Service (PKM) aims to provide comprehensive education to the public, reminding them of the importance of maintaining respiratory health, recognizing ARI symptoms, and implementing appropriate preventive measures. This community service activity is expected to provide a deeper understanding of ARI and explain how simple actions can help prevent ARI, enhancing knowledge and awareness of respiratory infections.
