tuberculosis information and answers to common questions about TB in children, including the difference between tuberculosis infection and disease, how it is spread, symptoms, and treatments.
http://www.keepkidshealthy.com/welcome/infectionsguide/tuberculosis.html

Extractions: Routine testing for Tb with a tuberculin skin test is now only recommended in children who are at high risk for having the illness. Risk factors include being exposed to an infected adult, contact with someone who has been in prison, contact with the homeless, and travel to countries with a high rate of tuberculosis, including Mexico, India, Vietnam, China, Philippines, and many countries in Latin America, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Adopted children from any high risk area should also be tested, including Romania and Russia. Also, all contacts of a person with a positive tuberculin skin test should also be tested. Even with a negative test, some younger children may need a chest x-ray and treatment if they were recently exposed to someone with tuberculosis and that person was thought to be contagious. Negative skin tests may need to be repeated in three months.

TB Worldwide More From MDH Infectious Diseases and Conditions A-Z Mycobacterium tuberculosis . TB can attack any part of the body, but most often it affects the lungs. TB can spread when someone with active TB of the lungs or voicebox coughs, yells, sneezes, or talks and others breathe in the bacteria. People are most likely to become infected with TB if they spend many hours in close contact with someone with TB disease; brief contact usually does not lead to infection. There are two phases of TB: latent TB infection and active TB disease. Both phases can be treated with medication. Only persons with active TB disease can spread TB germs to others. In Minnesota, 199 cases of active TB disease were reported in 2004. The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has a TB Prevention and Control Program, which collaborates with clinicians and local health departments throughout Minnesota to ensure that persons with TB receive effective and timely treatment and that contact investigations are performed to minimize the spread of TB.

Once-dreaded Leprosy 'replaced' By Tuberculosis, Say Researchers
What caused leprosy a widely dreaded disease in medieval Europe to fade from the scene? By the 16th century, the scourge had practically disappeared
http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2005-08/thuo-ol080105.php

Extractions: The Hebrew University of Jerusalem Jerusalem What caused leprosy a widely dreaded disease in medieval Europe to fade from the scene? By the 16th century, the scourge had practically disappeared there. The reason seems to be, say researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and in London, that tuberculosis, a far more deadly disease, overtook leprosy, killing millions throughout Europe. Their conclusion is based upon the examination of DNA from human remains from the ancient and medieval periods in Israel and Europe. In these examinations, the scientists found traces of both leprosy and tuberculosis bacteria in 42 percent of the cases. The findings on the relationship between leprosy and tuberculosis were reported in a recent edition of the British Royal Society Proceedings B by Dr. Mark Spigelman, a visiting professor at the Hebrew University Faculty of Medicine and of the University College London; Prof. Charles Greenblatt of the Sanford F. Kuvin Center for the Study of Infectious and Tropical Diseases at the Hebrew University's Faculty of Medicine; and Dr. Helen Donoghue of University College London. The earliest case of co-infection of both leprosy and tuberculosis was found by the researchers in the DNA from a body discovered in a 1st century CE burial cave in Jerusalem. This prompted the investigators to re-examine DNA samples from other ancient sites that they and their colleagues had worked on previously. In doing so, they found leprosy and tuberculosis bacteria in remains from a 4th century CE Egyptian shrine that was known to have been visited by lepers, from a 10th century burial ground in Hungary, and from a Viking-age cemetery in northern Sweden.

Multi-drug Resistant Tuberculosis
Paper on drug resistant tuberculosis. Multidrug resistant tuberculosis is defined as resistance to isoniazid and rifampicin whether there is resistance
http://www.priory.com/cmol/TBMultid.htm

Extractions: Isoniazid, Rifampicin, relapse Introduction Before the discovery of specific antibiotics for the treatment of tuberculosis, there was no cure. Mortality of those with pulmonary disease (disease of the lungs) was about 50%. The introduction of anti-tuberculosis drugs in the 1950s and the development of the various drug regimens meant that by the 1980s there was a 98% chance of cure. However, treatment had to be continued with good quality drugs for as long six months to ensure cure. The difficulties in ensuring this occurs, especially in resource poor countries, has resulted in an increasing incidence of tubercle bacteria resistant to the most effective drugs; so called multi-drug resistant tuberculosis. The historical background In the second half of the 19 th century, a new movement for the treatment of tuberculosis came into existence; the sanatoria. These were something of a cross between a hotel and a hospital where tuberculosis patients would come and spend many months or even years. Treatment was a combination of sunlight, diet and gentle exercise. It is doubtful whether the sanatoria improved survival of the patients but may have reduced tuberculosis in the community by removing infectious patients, so reducing transmission.
Winter 1999 Federal Air Surgeon's Medical Bulletin: An Airman With Tuberculous U
Alerts aviation medical examiners to this rare extrapulmonary manifestation of tuberculosis.
http://www.cami.jccbi.gov/AAM-400A/FASMB/FAS9904/airman.htm

Extractions: Abstract Tuberculosis is endemic, with nearly 2 billion carriers worldwide. Aviation medical examiners should be alert to both its pulmonary and extrapulmonary manifestations, especially in the international traveler. Uveitis is a rare presentation of tuberculosis, but that diagnosis must be considered in the differential, even in the absence of pulmonary disease. Promptly treated, tuberculosis should not interfere with the resumption of a career in aviation and does not generally require special follow up. I n the context of medical certification of airmen, uveitis is significant both as a threat to vision and as a clue to underlying illness. This case provides an opportunity to address both the management of uveitis and several aspects of tuberculosis screening and management in the flight environment. Specifically, skin testing, treatment, and follow up will be discussed. A 34 year-old airman in the USAF Reserve applied in 1998 for renewal of his first-class medical certificate, noting a "past history of uveitis, left eye, resolved 3 years ago." Further investigation revealed that he had been found to have a newly positive tuberculin reaction in June 1994. At that time, he had no weight loss, a normal lung exam, and his chest radiograph was normal. However, slit lamp examination found evidence of uveitis, which was diagnosed as "miliary." He was treated with a course of Isoniazid and Rifampin for 6 mo, with resolution of the uveitis and with a persistently normal chest radiograph and absence of constitutional symptoms. He received a full medical waiver in August 1995 and retained a normal eye exam in April 1998. His first-class certificate was subsequently renewed.

Extractions: Can I breastfeed if I am taking pills for TB disease? I just found out that I'm pregnant. It's great news! I also found out that I have active tuberculosis (TB). I've been really tired, but I thought it was just my busy job. I also had this cough that wouldn't go away. Sometimes, blood would come out when I'd cough. My doctor gave me pills to take. I wanted to wait to take the pills until after I have the baby. But the doctor said the pills won't hurt my baby. She also said that if I don't take the pills, the baby could get sick. I've been taking them for a little while now. I think everything will be ok. What is tuberculosis (too-burr-cue-low-sis) or TB? TB is a disease caused by bacteria (bak-teer-ee-uh) or germs. It can hurt any part of your body. But it normally hurts your lungs. TB is spread in the air. If someone with TB in their lungs or throat coughs or sneezes, people nearby who breathe in the germs may get TB.
