Description

Tuberculosis is an airborne infectious disease which primarily attacks the lungs and kills roughly 50% of those who come into contact with it. The bacteria which causes this disease currently infect over 2 billion people or one third of the world population with the vast majority of cases being latent or sleeping infection. An individual who becomes infected with pulmonary Tuberculosis usually exhibits flu like symptoms with fever, soreness, red puffiness under the eyes, coughing up chest secretions and often bloody sputum from the lungs which is the trademark of the disease. Diagnosis and treatment methods for Tuberculosis are heavily antiquated and require sticking to a strict antibiotic routine often for many months. Failing to take the medicines lead to TB mutation such as MDR-TB (Multiple Drug Resistant Tuberculosis) and XDR-TB (Extensively Drug Resistant Tuberculosis) for which there is no reliable cure.

Scary. Like looking agony dead in the eyes. I can feel the suffering in this painting. It's very human.

Wow, just... wow. Great work!
