The lungs are primarily involved, but the infection can spread to other organs. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Tuberculosis can develop after inhaling droplets sprayed into the air from a cough or sneeze by someone infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis . The disease is characterized by the development of granulomas (granular tumors) in the infected tissues. The usual site of the disease is the lungs, but other organs may be involved. The primary stage of the infection is usually asymptomatic (without symptoms). In the United States, the majority of people will recover from primary TB infection without further evidence of the disease. Primary pulmonary TB develops in the minority of people whose immune systems do not successfully contain the primary infection. In this case, the disease may occur within weeks after the primary infection. TB may also lie dormant for years and reappear after the initial infection is contained.

    http://www.who.int/entity/mediacentre/factsheets/fs104/en/
    
    Extractions: Tuberculosis Infection and transmission Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious disease. Like the common cold, it spreads through the air. Only people who are sick with TB in their lungs are infectious. When infectious people cough, sneeze, talk or spit, they propel TB germs, known as bacilli, into the air. A person needs only to inhale a small number of these to be infected. Left untreated, each person with active TB disease will infect on average between 10 and 15 people every year. But people infected with TB bacilli will not necessarily become sick with the disease. The immune system "walls off" the TB bacilli which, protected by a thick waxy coat, can lie dormant for years. When someone's immune system is weakened, the chances of becoming sick are greater. Someone in the world is newly infected with TB bacilli every second. Overall, one-third of the world's population is currently infected with the TB bacillus.

35. Avian Tuberculosis
    Article by a veterinarian on this serious problem that could affect both people and flocks of birds. Discusses diagnosis and treatment.  
    http://www.internationalparrotletsociety.org/aviantb.html
    
    Extractions: By Darrel K. Styles, MS, DVM If your birds are suspected of having avian TB, you and you alone, are responsible for the health of your flock. Your failure to take all necessary precautions in managing avian TB in your birds and facilities may expose you and your flock to significant risk. The sale or transfer of your birds to any other person or facility -without a full disclosure and acknowledgement of the TB risk may expose you to personal liability in the event one of your birds infects other "clean" birds or infects individuals susceptible to the avian TB bacterium. Avian Tuberculosis or avian TB is caused by a bacterium, usually Mycobacterium avium or Mycobacterium genavense. This disease causes a wide range of clinical signs such as "going lite" yet having a voracious appetite; depression, fluffing, occasionally masses under the skin, and typical "sick bird syndrome". In advanced disease, neurological signs may be observed such as Imbalance, weakness, and inability to walk, perch, or fly. This organism is found everywhere in the environment including soil and water. It is shed from wildlife including our native avifauna. However, some species of

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycobacterium_tuberculosis
    
    Extractions: Zopf, 1883 Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the bacterium that causes most cases of tuberculosis . It was first described on March 24 by Robert Koch , who subsequently received the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for this discovery in . Its genome has been sequenced. It is a Gram-positive obligate aerobe mycobacterium that divides every 16-20 hours. This is extremely slow compared to other bacteria which tend to have division times measured in minutes (for example, E. coli can divide roughly every 20 minutes). It is a small rod-like bacillus which can withstand weak disinfectants and can survive in a dry state for weeks but can only grow within a host organism. MTB is identified microscopically by its staining characteristics: it retains certain stains after being treated with acidic solution, and is thus classified as an "acid-fast bacillus" or "AFB". In the most common staining technique, the Ziehl-Neelsen stain , AFB are stained a bright red which stands out clearly against a blue background. Acid-fast bacilli can also be visualized by fluorescent microscopy, and by auramine-rhodamine stain. The reason for the acid fast staining seen in mycobacteria is because of its thick waxy cell wall.

    Extractions: Home About Research Policy ... Contact Nurses, Students and Health Care Professionals Rally for a Smoke-Free Chicago Holding up signs reading “Support Smoke Free Chicago” and “Everyone Deserves Clean Air”, more than 70 nurses, respiratory therapists and other health professionals rallied in the park in front of the former Cook County Hospital on Monday, September 12 in support of an ordinance to make public places in Chicago smoke-free. Dr. Cathy Catrambone of Rush University Medical Center urged the group to contact their local alderman and send letters to Mayor Daley in support of a comprehensive smoke-free policy. “Workers in restaurants deserve the same clean, healthy atmosphere that we enjoy in our own workplaces,” said Dr Catrambone. “Many workers are afraid to advocate for their own safety, so we must do it for them.” Volunteers from the American Lung Association of Metropolitan Chicago were on hand to give out smoke-free t-shirts, collect names for a petition and distribute smoke-free material. “The health care community sees first-hand the effects of second hand smoke on patients,” said Dr Catrambone, “We have a responsibility to get involved by calling on legislators and by meeting with community leaders. We must protect our patients.”

38. Tuberculosis
    One of the most dreaded diseases of the 19th century, tuberculosis (TB) was the eighth leading cause of death in children ages 1 to 4 years in the 1920s.  
    http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/bacterial_viral/tuberculosis.html
    
    Extractions: Tuberculosis (popularly known as "TB") is a disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis . It mainly infects the lungs, although it can affect other organs as well. When someone with untreated TB coughs or sneezes, the air is filled with droplets containing the bacteria. Inhaling these infected droplets is the usual way a person gets TB. One of the most dreaded diseases of the 19th century, TB was the eighth leading cause of death in children ages 1 to 4 years in the 1920s. As the general standard of living and medical care improved in the United States, the incidence of TB decreased. By the 1960s, it wasn't even in the top 10 causes of death among children of any age group. But TB is making a comeback in the United States today - particularly among the homeless, those in prison, and those rendered susceptible because of HIV infection What Are the Signs and Symptoms?
