The standard "short" course treatment for TB is isoniazid rifampicin (also known as rifampin in the United States), pyrazinamide , and ethambutol for two months, then isoniazid and rifampicin alone for a further four months. The patient is considered cured at six months (although there is still a relapse rate of 2 to 3%). For latent tuberculosis , the standard treatment is six to nine months of isoniazid alone. If the organism is known to be fully sensitive, then treatment is with isoniazid, rifampicin, and pyrazinamide for two months, followed by isoniazid and rifampicin for four months.

Tuberculosis From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search TB bacteria, shown as 15549x larger under an electron microscope Tuberculosis (also known as TB , formerly consumption ) is an infectious disease caused by bacteria which make 10% of people get sick who catch it. People who suffer from tuberculosis generally cough a lot and have trouble breathing. They feel pain in their chest . They also feel very tired. Unless they get medicine , half of the sick have died (5% who catch it). Throughout history, many millions of people have died of tuberculosis. In the early 1900s, it was still called "consumption" because it seemed people were consumed from inside. The oldest signs of tuberculosis that have been found are in the spines of Egyptian mummies which date to 2400 BC. Nowadays, the diseases can be treated with anti-biotic drugs for several months. However, many people still die from this disease every year, particularly in countries where there is a shortage of food.

Last Updated: 14th June 2009 UPDATE: This article was written back in June 2007 and much has happened to the debate around bovine tuberculosis and badgers since then. This page will be updated in due course, but until indeed, even after then, the reader is directed to the superb Great Badger and Bovine TB Debate website by badger biologist Martin Hancox. Mr Hancox has worked hard to produce a fascinatingly detailed website that has something many similar sites lack: impartiality. Mr Hancox presents the current data in a down-to-earth manner that I think is accessible to all. Before making your mind up on the subject of badgers and bovine tuberculosis, I would urge you to read Mr Hancox's articles. The first record of tuberculosis in Meles meles came from Switzerland during the mid-1950s. In 1971, a dead badger recovered from the Cotswold Hills in Gloucestershire (UK) was found to be infected with Mycobacterium bovis , the bacteria known to cause tuberculosis in cattle (that is to say, bovine tuberculosis, or bTb for short). This specimen represents the first case of a badger infected with bTb from Britain.

Pathology of Tuberculosis Return to the tutorial menu. General Features Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the organism that is the causative agent for tuberculosis (TB). There are other "atypical" mycobacteria such as M. kansasii that may produced a similar clincal and pathologic appearance of disease. M. avium-intracellulare (MAI) seen in immunocompromised hosts (particularly in persons with AIDS) is not primarily a pulmonary infection in terms of its organ distribution (mostly in organs of the mononuclear phagocyte system). Tuberculosis is becoming a world-wide problem. War, famine, homelessness, and a lack of medical care all contribute to the increasing incidence of tuberculosis among disadvantaged persons. Since TB is easily transmissible between persons, then the increase in TB in any segment of the population represents a threat to all segments of the population. This means that it is important to institute and maintain appropriate public health measures, including screening, vaccination (where deemed of value), and treatment. A laxity of public health measures will contribute to an increase in cases. Failure of adequate treatment promotes the development of resistant strains of tuberculosis. Patterns of Infection There are two major patterns of disease with TB: Primary tuberculosis: seen as an initial infection, usually in children. The initial focus of infection is a small subpleural granuloma accompanied by granulomatous hilar lymph node infection. Together, these make up the Ghon complex. In nearly all cases, these granulomas resolve and there is no further spread of the infection.
