23. Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis Fact Sheet American Lung Association® Fact Sheet MultidrugResistanttuberculosis. March 20, 2003. http://www.lungusa.org/diseases/mdrtbfac.html

Home Diseases A to Z Fact Sheet Search Site Local Search Enter Your ZIP April 12, 2003 January 2002 Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB) is a form of tuberculosis that is resistant to two or more of the primary drugs used for the treatment of tuberculosis. Resistance to one or several forms of treatment occurs when the bacteria develops the ability to withstand antibiotic attack and relay that ability to their progeny. Since that entire strain of bacteria inherits this capacity to resist the effects of the various treatments, resistance can spread from one person to another. On an individual basis, however, inadequate treatment or improper use of the anti-tuberculosis medications remains an important cause of drug-resistant tuberculosis. Even though throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s the incidence of tuberculosis was on the rise, recent trends indicate that the number of tuberculosis cases reported have been continuously declining. During the period of 1992 to 2000, the total number of tuberculosis cases reported decreased by 39 percent. Several factors have been identified as contributing to this substantial decline, including demographic changes and increased federal and other resources for state and local tuberculosis control efforts.

March 05, 2002 Trade News Release ] - OSHA EXTENDS PERIOD FOR COMMENTS ON TUBERCULOSIS RULEMAKING RECORD. Nearly one-third of the world's population is infected with Tuberculosis (TB), which kills almost 3 million people a year. TB is the leading cause of death due to an infectious agent in the world. In the mid-1980s a resurgence of outbreaks in the United States brought new attention to TB. Increases in the incidence of TB are related to the high risk among immuno-suppressed persons, particularly those infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Drug resistant strains of this deadly disease have contributed to the problem. Outbreaks have occurred in hospitals, correctional institutions, homeless shelters, nursing homes, and residential care facilities for AIDS patients. Nationwide, at least several hundred employees have become infected and have required medical treatment after workplace exposure to TB.

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 . In the United States, the majority of people will recover from primary TB infection without further evidence of the disease.

Top Story Heart Attacks Cut in Half When Second Hand Smoke is Banned from Public Spaces In a first study of its kind, researchers in Helena, Montana found that the health benefits of a clean indoor ordinance are virtually immediate and that a ban on smoking in public spaces can cut heart attacks by as much as 60%. The study was presented at the recent annual scientific meeting of the American College of Cardiology held in Chicago. This study suggests a strong clean indoor air ordinance in Chicago will reap huge health and economic benefits for the people of Chicago, said Joel Africk, CEO of the American Lung Association of Chicago. In the Helena study, Dr Richard Sargent and Dr Robert Shepard conducted what they called a "natural experiment," that examined what happens to public health when people stop smoking and breathing secondhand smoke in public places. Despite small numbers, the researchers say the results are statistically significant and stand up to close scrutiny. They say the Helena experience offers a clear hint that the change reduces the risk of heart attacks for smokers and nonsmokers alike from virtually the moment it goes into effect. Many people worry about smoking causing lung cancer - a long term effect of exposure - however this study shows that smoking is also a powerful trigger of heart attacks. Second hand smoke raises blood pressure and increases the tendency for blood to clot in as little as 30 minutes.

Pathology of Tuberculosis Return to the tutorial menu. The images below have file sizes ranging from 50 to 250k. General Features Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the organism that is the causative agent for tuberculosis (TB). There are other "atypical" mycobacteria such as M. kansasii that may produced a similar clincal and pathologic appearance of disease. M. avium-intracellulare (MAI) seen in immunocompromised hosts (particularly in persons with AIDS) is not primarily a pulmonary infection in terms of its organ distribution (mostly in organs of the mononuclear phagocyte system). Tuberculosis is becoming a world-wide problem. War, famine, homelessness, and a lack of medical care all contribute to the increasing incidence of tuberculosis among disadvantaged persons. Since TB is easily transmissible between persons, then the increase in TB in any segment of the population represents a threat to all segments of the population. This means that it is important to institute and maintain appropriate public health measures, including screening, vaccination (where deemed of value), and treatment. A laxity of public health measures will contribute to an increase in cases. Failure of adequate treatment promotes the development of resistant strains of tuberculosis. Patterns of Infection There are two major patterns of disease with TB: Primary tuberculosis: seen as an initial infection, usually in children. The initial focus of infection is a small subpleural granuloma accompanied by granulomatous hilar lymph node infection. Together, these make up the Ghon complex. In nearly all cases, these granulomas resolve and there is no further spread of the infection.

40. An History Of The Fight Against Tuberculosis In Canada. Dr. David A. Stewart was the eldest son of Francis Beattie Stewart and Elizabeth Farquharson Stewart who left Aberdeenshire in the UK, and settled at Fletcher, Ontario, until 1891 when they moved to Morden, Manitoba. http://www.lung.ca/tb/tbhistory/people/stewart.html

People Profiles Dr. David Alexander Stewart (1874-1937) Dr. David A. Stewart was the eldest son of Francis Beattie Stewart and Elizabeth Farquharson Stewart who left Aberdeenshire in the UK, and settled at Fletcher, Ontario, until 1891 when they moved to Morden, Manitoba. After graduation from Arts, and two preliminary years in Theology at Manitoba College, the young Stewart spent his summer at the mission in Frank, Alberta. Here, he met and befriended Dr. George Malcolmson, who had recently opened a small hospital beside his home. As a result of his summer with Dr. Malcolmson, Stewart opted for a change in vocation. People - Archibald - Dalton - Cook - Fagan ... - Wodehouse Returning again to Manitoba in the Fall, Stewart resumed study not in Theology, but in Medicine, and emerged four years later, Dr. D.A. Stewart. To support his medical studies, Stewart became a reporter for the Winnipeg Free Press, and then followed with a residency at Winnipeg General Hospital. After spending some time working in various hospitals in New York City, attending the World TB Congress in Washington in 1908, and completing an assistantship in a Connecticut sanatorium, Dr. Stewart returned once again to Manitoba. At this time, he accepted a position with the Sanatorium Board, who wished to open a tuberculosis sanatorium in Manitoba. Dr. Stewart's dedication to his cause, applied through travel and lectures for raising funds, made him a target for the very disease he was trying to fight. For a short time, Dr. Stewart became a patient himself, at the Trudeau Sanatorium at Saranac Lake, New York
