Next Tuberculosis (TB) Revising Medical Author: Zab Mohsenifar, M.D. Revising Medical Editor: Leslie J. Schoenfield, M.D., Ph.D. What is tuberculosis? How does a person get TB? What happens to the body when a person gets TB? ... Tuberculosis At A Glance What is tuberculosis? Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by bacteria whose scientific name is Mycobacterium tuberculosis. TB most commonly affects the lungs but also can involve most any organ of the body. Many years ago, this disease used to be called "Consumption" because without effective treatment, these patients often would waste away. Today, of course, tuberculosis usually can be treated successfully with antibiotics. How does a person get TB? A person can become infected with tuberculosis bacteria when he or she inhales minute particles of infected sputum from the air. The bacteria get into the air when someone who has a tuberculosis lung infection coughs, sneezes, shouts, or spits (which is common in some cultures). People who are nearby can then possibly breathe the bacteria into their lungs. You don't get TB by just touching the clothes or shaking the hands of someone who is infected. Tuberculosis is spread (transmitted) primarily from person to person during close contact by breathing infected air. There is a form of tuberculosis, however, that is transmitted by drinking unpasteurized milk. Related bacteria, called Mycobacterium bovis, cause this form of TB. It previously was a major cause of TB in children, but rarely causes TB now since most milk is pasteurized (a heating process that kills the bacteria).

72. Michigan State Sanatorium History of tuberculosis sanatorium in Michigan, accompanied by vintage postcard images. http://www.livgenmi.com/sanatorium.htm

Michigan State Sanatorium a.k.a. Howell Tubercular Sanatorium At one time, the facility was a place to "take the cure" and from the notes on the back of these postcards that Sally Witt, the current development representative for the old Sanatorium site, found at an antiquarian book sale, it appears that this process took several months to a year. It also appears that people came from all over the United States to enjoy the beauty of the surroundings and the very capable care they received there. Below is a picture of the Administration Building taken right after its completion in about 1907 by Lyndon's Studio. Apparently these photos were made into post cards so that the patients could keep in touch with their friends and relatives sometimes hundreds of miles away. Opened on the 10th of September in 1907, the facility had an administration building and several "open-air" shacks out behind the building. If you look to the left behind the administration building in the picture above you can see the patient "shacks". These each accommodated ten to twelve persons. The men's facility was opened first and the women's opened in about 1908. Bed rest was the treatment required, usually twenty hours a day with the only exercise being the walk to the dining room. Treatment consisted of this total rest as no drugs were used and of course no surgery was ever considered. The men were allowed playing cards and the women handiwork of any kind but that was about the extent of it.

Michigan Bovine Tuberculosis Eradication Project Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that is close to being eradicated in the United States, but still poses a significant risk to domestic livestock, wildlife, companion animals and humans throughout the world. Description and Distribution Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that is caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium bovis. Bovine TB primarily affects cattle, however, other animals may become infected. Transmission and Development There are many different types of Mycobacterium but the two most important, M. tuberculosis and M. bovis are the only ones which can be spread between humans and animals. Clinical Signs and Pathology Bovine tuberculosis is a chronic disease, and small lesions in livestock and wild white-tailed deer often are not readily recognized. Diagnosis The diagnosis of bovine TB in animals involves the use of several diagnostic tests. The results of each of these tests are used in combination to make a definative diagnosis. Treatment and Control There are effective antibiotic treatments for humans contracting tuberculosis. Treatment of livestock and wildlife is not practical or efficacious. Prevention and control methods are used to eradicate tuberculosis in livestock and wildlife.

Todar's Online Textbook of Bacteriology Tuberculosis Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death in the world from a single infectious disease. The disease affects 1.7 billion people/year which is equal to one-third of the entire world population. In the United States TB is on the decline. There was a resurgence of TB from 1986 to 1992, but since 1993, the numbers of cases have been going down and are now at the lowest they have ever been. Also, since 1993, there has been a gradual decline in the number of TB patients with coinfection with HIV, and the number of cases of multiple drug-resistant (MDR) TB dropped during this period of time. In many states, especially in the West, the upper Midwest, and the Northeast, most new cases of TB now occur in individuals who are foreign born. This is evident in the following statistics provided by the CDC Division of Tuberculosis Elimination. Mycobacterium tuberculosis Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the etiologic agent of tuberculosis in humans. Humans are the only reservoir for the bacterium. Mycobacterium bovis is the etiologic agent of TB in cows and rarely in humans. Both cows and humans can serve as reservoirs. Humans can also be infected by the consumption of unpasteurized milk. This route of transmission can lead to the development of
