Extractions: Mycobacterium tuberculosis , the etiologic agent of tuberculosis (TB), is responsible for more deaths than any other single bacterial species. The disease must be treated with multiple drugs to prevent the selection of drug resistant strains . Drug-sensitive tuberculosis (TB) is usually curable in 6 months if all drugs are taken regularly, however pati ent non-compliance, incorrect prescribing and irregular drug supply can all contribute to treatment failure and the selection for drug-resistant strains . Multiple drug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis has a much lower cure rate due to the lower efficacy and higher toxicity of the second-line drugs used in its treatment.

Extractions: Go to a Section in TB Table of Contents Treatment Prophylaxis References by Richard E. Chaisson, M.D. Tuberculosis is one of the most prevalent infections of human beings and contributes considerably to illness and death around the world. Globally, it is estimated that approximately one-third of the global population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and that seven to eight million new cases of tuberculosis occur each year. Annual tuberculosis mortality is between two and three million people, making this disease the most common infectious cause of death in the world. Most tuberculosis cases and deaths occur in developing countries, notably in Asia and Africa. In the United States, the annual incidence of tuberculosis is considerably lower than in developing countries. Nonetheless, tuberculosis remains an important problem in this country and the impact of tuberculosis has worsened in recent years.

This is an important step in the right direction," said Dr. William Bishai, professor of international health and medicine at Johns Hopkins University.

Extractions: CDC Health Topics This site provides access to information about tuberculosis (TB) disease and prevention in North Carolina. The Tuberculosis Control program, located in the Public Health Division of the NC Department of Health and Human Services, is the lead agency in combating tuberculosis in the state. Tuberculosis is a communicable, potentially deadly disease that usually affects the lungs but can attack other parts of the body as well. It is spread when a person with an active case of TB breathes out the disease-causing bacteria, which are then inhaled by another person. TB is treatable and usually curable, although new drug-resistant strains are appearing that are very difficult to treat. It is vital that TB patients faithfully follow their treatment regimen and take all medications as directed, for as long as directed, or the disease can recur in a drug-resistant form. In 1950, North Carolina had 89.9 cases of TB for every 100,000 people. In 2003, North Carolina had a TB rate of 4.6 cases per 100,000 persons. Now, the goal of the TB Control program is to reduce tuberculosis disease in North Carolina by the year 2010 to under one case per one million persons, virtually eliminating TB in the state.

Most Mycobacteria are found in habitats such as water or soil. However, a few are intracellular pathogens of animals and humans. Mycobacterium tuberculosis , along with M. bovis M. africanum , and M. microti all cause the disease known as tuberculosis (TB) and are members of the tuberculosis species complex. Each member of the TB complex is pathogenic, but M. tuberculosis is pathogenic for humans while M. bovis is usually pathogenic for animals.

Time.com People Fortune EW ORLANDO, Florida (CNN) There is no health risk to visitors to Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, even though one employee a costumed character was diagnosed with active tuberculosis, a spokeswoman for the theme park said Thursday. "The health department has said there's no risk to our visitors," said Diane Ledder, a Disney spokeswoman. No tests of visitors are planned, she added. A spokeswoman at the Orange County Health Department confirmed that officials felt there is no health risk and no testing of visitors is warranted. A doctor at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta said it is unlikely any visitors contracted the disease, noting the employee wore a character mask. Dr. Helene Gayle said transmission requires "prolonged contact" and said there is "no real cause for concern." However, she said, parents who are concerned can contact their pediatrician.

http://ist-socrates.berkeley.edu/~jmp/TB1.htm

Extractions: Why is the tuberculosis bacterium so successful? History of Tuberculosis: Tuberculosis has been known by many names. The Greeks called it phthisis (to waste). In medieval times, it was called The Kings Evil because the newly crowned kings of England and France were thought to have powers to heal TB with their touch The White Plague refers to the TB epidemic in Europe during the 18 th century. To us, the most familiar historical term for TB is consumption , due to the consumption and wearing away of the body. There had been much speculation as to the cause of tuberculosis, but it was not until 1865 that a French military doctor, Jean-Antoine Villemin discovered that the disease was communicable between humans and cattle, and between cattle and rabbits. This led to the understanding that the disease is caused by a specific microorganism. In 1882, Robert Koch discovered a staining technique that allowed him to see the specific mycobacterium that is now known to cause tuberculosis. It was only then that the battle against the disease really begun. At the time of the discovery of the bacteria, 1 in 5 people developed TB in their lifetime.

Time.com People Fortune EW ORLANDO, Florida (CNN) The Orange County Health Department is awaiting test results from several employees at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom after another employee a costumed character was diagnosed with active tuberculosis. Health department spokesman Bill Toth said Wednesday the victim, a woman in her 20s, is under medical treatment and has been moved to a separate apartment. She was diagnosed last Friday. He said her roommates and other friends who came in close contact with her are also being tested for the bacterial, airborne disease. The test results for the roommates could be ready Thursday. ALSO WHO launches new bid to stop tuberculosis He stressed that no visitors to Disney World would have been in danger of contracting the disease. "It takes prolonged, very close contact," Toth said. The costumed characters and visitors "meet outside, so dilution of the outside air reduces the risk, and sunlight has ultraviolet properties which kill the bacteria."
