Tuberculosis - How Was Diagnosis Established Causes of Tuberculosis All cases of TB are passed from person to person via droplets. When someone with TB infection coughs , sneezes, or talks, tiny droplets of saliva or mucus are expelled into the air, which can be inhaled by another person. Once infectious particles reach the alveoli (small saclike structures in the air spaces in the lungs), another cell, called the macrophage, engulfs the TB bacteria.

MeSH Tuberculosis (abbreviated TB for tubercle bacillus or T u b erculosis) is a common and often deadly infectious disease caused by mycobacteria , in humans mainly Mycobacterium tuberculosis . Tuberculosis usually attacks the lungs (as pulmonary TB) but can also affect the central nervous system , the lymphatic system , the circulatory system , the genitourinary system , the gastrointestinal system bones joints , and even the skin . Other mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium bovis Mycobacterium africanum Mycobacterium canetti , and Mycobacterium microti also cause tuberculosis, but these species are less common in humans. Tuberculosis is spread through the air, when people who have the disease cough, sneeze, or spit. Most infections in human beings will result in asymptomatic , latent infection, and about one in ten latent infections will eventually progress to active disease, which, if left untreated, kills more than half of its victims. The classic symptoms of tuberculosis are a chronic cough with blood-tinged sputum fever night sweats , and weight loss . Infection of other organs causes a wide range of symptoms. The diagnosis relies on radiology (commonly chest X-rays ), a

The World Health Organization declared tuberculosis a global health emergency in 1993. The magnitude of the problem changed dramatically during the 1990s due to deteriorating control in some parts of the world (notably eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union), the spread of HIV, and population growth. Without a coordinated control effort, tuberculosis will infect an estimated 1 billion more people by 2020, killing 70 million. Review Articles News Editorial Opinions Research Articles ... Reports Review Articles 2 Jun 2010 Do the poor benefit from infectious disease programmes? When interventions are planned, insufficient thought is given as to whether the poorest and most vulnerable members of society will benefit, according to the findings of a new review of the evidence. The reviewers call for more research to assess which infectious disease programmes benefit the poor and to identify the mechanisms that determine “pro-poor effectiveness”.

Tuberculosis is addressed in the following areas: Healthcare Wide Hazards - Tuberculosis Emergency Department - Tuberculosis Clinical Services - Radiology - Tuberculosis Tuberculosis Introduction According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2008, nearly one-third of the world's population is infected with Tuberculosis (TB) , which kills almost 1.6 million people per year. TB is now the second most common cause of death from infectious disease in the world after human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). In the mid-1980s, a resurgence of outbreaks in the United States brought renewed attention to TB. An increase in high risk, immuno-suppressed individuals, particularly those infected with HIV, lead to an increase in TB cases. Drug-resistant strains of this deadly disease also contributed to the problem. However, through a broad range of Federal and community initiatives, TB rates have declined steadily. For 2009, a total of 11,540 tuberculosis (TB) cases were reported in the United States. The TB rate was 3.8 cases per 100,000 population, a decrease of 11.4% from the rate of 4.2 per 100,000 reported for 2008. The 2009 rate showed the greatest single-year decrease ever recorded and was the lowest recorded rate since national TB surveillance began in 1953. [

E-Newsletter Receive the latest information on lung health and healthy air in your email. Home Lung Disease Tuberculosis Tuberculosis Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that usually infects the lungs, but can attack almost any part of the body. Tuberculosis is spread from person to person through the air. When a person with TB in their lungs or throat coughs, laughs, sneezes, sings, or even talks, the germs that cause TB may spread through the air. If another person breathes in these germs, there is a chance that they will become infected with tuberculosis. It is not easy to become infected with tuberculosis. Usually a person has to be close to someone with TB disease for a long period of time. TB is usually spread between family members, close friends, and people who work or live together. TB is spread most easily in closed spaces over a long period of time. If it is not treated, TB can be fatal. But TB can almost always be treated and cured if you take medicine as directed by your healthcare provider. Once you begin treatment, within weeks you will no longer be contagious. That means you can't spread the disease to others. If you take your medicine just as your healthcare provider tells you, all the TB germs should be killed.

ATYPICAL PRESENTATION OF TUBERCULOSIS MENINGITIS: A CASE REPORT SMJ 2002: 47(1): 14-15 R. D�Souza, D. Franklin, J. Simpson, F. Kerr Medical Unit, Highland Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, Inverness Abstract: A 19 year old woman presented with atypical symptoms of tuberculous meningitis. Meningitis is the most serious form of tuberculosis (TB) and it often presents with nonspecific signs and symptoms. Delayed diagnosis can result in rapid progression of neurological deficits and poor prognosis. Polymerase chain reaction and other nucleic acid amplification methods are becoming increasingly useful for the rapid detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the cerebrospinal fluid. Early treatment reduces morbidity and mortality of this serious condition. Key words: Tuberculosis; tuberculosis meningitis; anti-tuberculosis treatment; polymerase chain reaction; BCG vaccination Introduction The incidence of tuberculosis (TB) has shown a resurgence in many industrially developed countries due to the increased mobility of people from areas endemic for TB. A further serious problem is the immunodeficiency status related to the HIV/AIDS pandemic which facilitates the spread of tuberculosis. This is further complicated by high levels of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. All these factors necessitate the early diagnosis and treatment of TB in order to minimise complications and sequelae. We report an atypical presentation of TB meningitis that highlights the diagnostic problems which can arise.

Causes Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) . You can get TB by breathing in air droplets from a cough or sneeze of an infected person. This is called primary TB. In the United States, most people will recover from primary TB infection without further evidence of the disease. The infection may stay asleep or nonactive (dormant) for years. However, in some people it can reactivate. Most people who develop symptoms of a TB infection first became infected in the past. However, in some cases, the disease may become active within weeks after the primary infection. The following people are at higher risk for active TB: Elderly Infants People with weakened immune systems, for example due to
