      Tuberculosis generally damages the lungs, but it can also impair other parts
      of the body such as brain and spine. Typical signs of active Tuberculosis
      include chronic cough with blood-containing mucus, fever, night sweats, and
      weight loss. Tuberculosis damages the lungs whereas Malaria could detriment
      both kidneys by impairing the liver.

      Typhoid fever is caused by Salmonella typhi bacteria. It is rare in
      developed countries but it can still be a serious health threat in the
      developing world, especially for children. Contaminated food and water or
      close contact with an infected person can be a cause of typhoid. Signs and
      symptoms of which usually include: High fever Headache Stomach pain
      Constipation or diarrhea Most people who have it, feels better a few days
      after they start antibiotic treatment, but a small number of them may die of
      complications.

      Malaria is a very serious illness which can be fatal if not diagnosed and
      treated in time. The falciparum parasite causes the most severe form of
      malaria which can be fatal. The complications related to malaria are as
      follows: Anemia: The destruction of red blood cells by the malaria parasite
      can cause severe anemia. Anemia is a condition where the red blood cells are
      unable to carry enough oxygen to the body's muscles and organs, leaving the
      patient with the feeling of being drowsy, weak or faint. Cerebral malaria:
      Cerebral malaria occurs due to affects in the brain and causes brain to
      swell, sometimes leading to permanent brain damage. It can also cause
      seizures (fits) or coma (a state of unconsciousness). Pregnancy and malaria.
      Pregnant women have increased risk of developing complications. The World
      Health Organization (WHO) recommends that pregnant women should avoid
      travelling to areas where there is a risk of malaria. Malaria in pregnancy
      poses a substantial risk to the mother, the fetus and the newborn infant.
      Pregnant women are less capable of coping with malaria infections, which may
      adversely affect the fetus.

      Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a chronic, potentially
      life-threatening condition caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
      By damaging your immune system, HIV interferes with your body's ability to
      fight infection and disease. HIV is a sexually transmitted infection (STI).
      It can also be spread by contact with infected blood and from illicit
      injection drug use or sharing needles. It can also be spread from mother to
      child during pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding. Without medication, it
      may take years before HIV weakens your immune system to the point that you
      have AIDS. There's no cure for HIV/AIDS, but medications can control the
      infection and prevent progression of the disease. Antiviral treatments for
      HIV have reduced AIDS deaths around the world, and international
      organizations are working to increase the availability of prevention
      measures and treatment in resource-poor countries. Symptoms The symptoms of
      HIV and AIDS vary, depending on the phase of infection. Primary infection
      (Acute HIV) Some people infected by HIV develop a flu-like illness within 2
      to 4 weeks after the virus enters the body. This illness, known as primary
      (acute) HIV infection, may last for a few weeks. Possible signs and symptoms
      include: Fever Headache Muscle aches and joint pain Rash Sore throat and
      painful mouth sores Swollen lymph glands, mainly on the neck Diarrhea Weight
      loss Cough Night sweats These symptoms can be so mild that you might not
      even notice them. However, the amount of virus in your bloodstream (viral
      load) is quite high at this time. As a result, the infection spreads more
      easily during primary infection than during the next stage. Clinical latent
      infection (Chronic HIV) In this stage of infection, HIV is still present in
      the body and in white blood cells. However, many people may not have any
      symptoms or infections during this time. This stage can last for many years
      if you're not receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). Some people develop
      more severe disease much sooner. Symptomatic HIV infection As the virus
      continues to multiply and destroy your immune cells — the cells in your body
      that help fight off germs — you may develop mi
