If you’ve worked in the medical field, whether as a CNA or even a doctor, the odds are that you’ve encountered (or at least heard of) tuberculosis in some form or another. You most likely heard of it when you received your TB shot. As a person with a pseudo-phobia of needles, I remember the event quite well. In North America, tuberculosis is not a great danger and as such the majority of the population does not receive the vaccine for it. Only those who are the highest risk tend to get the vaccine
**INTRODUCTION** Hello everyone, I am here again to tell us about another flesh eating disease. The previous one I talked about was the Necrotizing Fasciitis, you can read about that one [here](https://steemit.com/steemstem/@florae/necrotizing-fasciitis-the-flesh-eating-disease-it-s-brief-history-causes-diagnoses-prevention-treatment-mode-of-entry-etc) its a deadly one too and also has similar features with the one I’ll identify in this article. Ladies and gentlemen allow me to introduce you to
hemoptysis, and tachypnea. They may also show pleuristic chest pain, dyspnea, progressive weight loss, fatigue and malaise (Porth, 2011). Signs and Symptoms of Active Tuberculosis Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MT) is a slender, rod-shaped, aerobic bacillus which causes tuberculosis. Tuberculosis (TB) is an airborn infection which is transmitted via inhaling droplet nuclei circulating in the air. These droplets are expelled from the respiratory secretion of people who have active TB through coughing
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infection that affects the lungs caused by an acid-fast bacillus M. tuberculosis (McCance, Huether, Brashers, & Rote, 2010, p. 1293). It is also considered as the leading cause of death from a curable infectious disease worldwide. It is highly contagious and the mode of transmission is by airborne droplets. A person can be exposed to the infection but not develop the illness, which is called latent TB infection. Unless the person is immunocompromised, some people remain asymptomatic
Tuberculosis. It was the cause of countless deaths throughout the history of humanity. It has been a fearful disease and has existed with humans for thousands of years; in the past two centuries alone, it ruthlessly murdered and crippled billions of people! It also has been called the white plague or white death, as this single microbe can be so devastating. It is one of the diseases that has tormented humans for ages and the story of this gruesome slaughterer continues even today. Tuberculosis
Step one: Why do poor countries have a predominance of infectious disease as opposed to the lifestyle-related diseases of wealthy countries? What is your response to the global health inequalities that exist? Step two: I have chosen the question about because I can relate to it the most and also it is a global issue. Since I have spent a reasonable time i both poor/developing and wealthy/developed country. I have lived in India for six years after I have fleet from Tibet with is occupied by communist
In the late 1800s a famous scientist known as Robert Koch was able to isolate the tubercle bacillus and was able to reproduce the disease. Due to this amazing discovery the Pirquet and Mantoux skin test was discovered along with a BCG vaccine and anti-tuberculosis drugs. (Journal of preventative medicine and hygiene) Tuberculosis is a highly contagious
tuberculosis is the result of a waxy, lipid-rich cell wall. The cell envelope of the tubercle bacilli contains a layer beyond the peptidoglycan which is exceptionally rich in lipids, glycolipids and polysaccharides. The bacterium is gram positive bacillus which is an obligate aerobe, is non-motile, a non-endospore forming and is non-capsulated. The microscopic appearance of M. tuberculosis is seen as straight, slightly curved rods approximately 3 x 0.3µm in size. In liquid culture media, the bacteria
Vaccination, first practiced by Dr. Edward Jenner in the 18th-century, is known as the most effective way to prevent epidemic disease throughout the world. Not only the people in the United States have had a vaccination in the past, but also almost most people on the planet. For instance, the government of Republic of Korea provides free injections for children from age of 0 to 12 in public health centers and pediatrician centers. In Korea, it is compulsory to be vaccinated. Except under extraordinary
shell, called a granuloma, that keeps the bacilli contained and under control (LTBI). 5. If the immune system cannot keep the tubercle bacilli under control, the bacilli begin... ... middle of paper ... ...uated strain of bovine tuberculosis bacillus and mycobacterium bovis that has lost its virulence. Conclusion: Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This is an air borne disease which spreads if a person is infected by tuberculosis. The infected person
Tuberculosis Tuberculosis is disease caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Usually bacteria attacks lungs but TB bacteria can attack any parts of the body such as brain, kidney, and spine. It can spread through the lymph node and blood stream to any organ. Usually it is seen in the lungs. If it is not treated accordingly, it can be deadly. One of the leading causes of death in the United States was tuberculosis. Everyone who infected with TB bacteria not get sick. There are two
Tuberculosis Prevention There are several ways to prevent tuberculosis. One is to control existing infections from those infected including people, pets, and cows. Unfortunately, more than 1/3 of the population has tuberculosis, making it hard to contain every case of tuberculosis. The BCG vaccine exists, but it is not very useful in countries like the US. The body’s defenses against tuberculosis are effective but fail once the immune system becomes suppressed. Antibiotics can be used to help
Health and social care professionals encounter a diverse amount of individuals who have different needs and preferences regarding their health. As professionals they must ensure that all services users, whether it is older people with dementia, an infant with physical disabilities or an adult with an eating disorder (National Minimum Data Set for Social Care, [no date]), are treated in a way that will successfully meet such needs. In fact, health and social care professionals have a ‘duty of care’
dangerous. The breakdown in health services, the spread of HIV/AIDS and the emergence of multi drug-resistant TB are contributing to the worsening impact of this disease. Overall, one-third of the world's population is currently infected with the TB bacillus. How TB Spreads: TB is a contagious disease. Like the common cold, it spreads through the air. A person acquires a tuberculosis infection by inhaling tiny droplets of moisture contaminated with the Mycobacterium Tuberculosis bacteria. The source
