81. Women’s Ward Pavilions At Seaview Hospital Illustrated preservation page concerning New York City tuberculosis sanitarium constructed in 19091911. The buildings and terra-cotta ornamentation were designed by architect Raymond F. Almirall in the Mission Revival Style. http://www.preserve2.org/seaview/wwp.htm

Preservation Alert: by Susan Tunick President, Friends of Terra Cotta Seaview Hospital-Farm Colony Historic District was designated an official New York City Landmark in 1985. Today, most of the building on this property remain vacant and many are in a severe state of deterioration Demolition by neglect is an unacceptable fate for New York's landmark buildings. The Friends of Terra Cotta is particularly concerned about the exacerbated condition of the ceramic murals and ornament which surround the tops of the Women's Ward Pavilions, buildings #1 - #4. These remarkable works were produced in Delft, Holland by De Porceleyne Fles Numerous tile experts have been interested in seeing these and they will be featured in an upcoming publication by Hans Van Lemmen. After a visit in late February 1998, during which some of these horrendous conditions were documented, it is clear that we must make the city take appropriate action. Photos by David Jones Seaview Hospital is situated today on 400 acres surrounded by residential property, a golf course, park and high school.

Information from Your Family Doctor Tuberculosis: The Meaning of a Positive Test What is tuberculosis? Tuberculosis (say: "too-burr-cue-low-sis") also called TB, is an infection caused by a bacteria (a germ). Tuberculosis usually affects the lungs, but it can spread to the kidneys, bones, spine, brain and other parts of the body. What does it mean if I have a positive test? The most commonly used skin test to check for tuberculosis is the PPD. If you have a positive PPD, it means you have been exposed to a person who has tuberculosis and you are now infected with the bacteria that causes the disease. Do I have tuberculosis if I have a positive PPD test? Not necessarily. A person can be infected with the bacteria that causes tuberculosis and not have tuberculosis disease. Many people are infected with the bacteria that causes tuberculosis, but only a few of these people (about 10%) go on to develop the disease. People who have the disease are said to have "active" tuberculosis. Healthy people who get infected with the tuberculosis bacteria are able to fight off the infection and do not get tuberculosis disease. The bacteria is dormant (inactive) in their lungs. If the body is not able to fight off the infection and the bacteria continues to grow, active tuberculosis develops. Would I know if I developed active tuberculosis?

Introduction Contracting Early symptoms Safeguards ... Contact Us Anti-TB Someone in the world is getting affected with TB every second ! An introduction to TB Contracting TB Early symptoms Symptoms vary. They could include persistent coughing for over three weeks, fever, loss of appetite, constant fatigue and weight loss. These symptoms can occur individually, in selective combination or even all together. Spitting blood with sputum can also transpire. Safeguards People who are infected with TB need to undergo preventive medical treatment under the supervision of a medical practitioner to prevent the infection from developing into a fullblown disease. The therapy generally involves the intake of an Isoniazid pill everyday for six months. It must be remembered that those in close contact with a TB patient stand a high chance of getting infected. A periodic, precautionary examination may be advisable. Safeguards need to be integrated into everyday living. The patient should cover her mouth while coughing or sneezing; it is advisable for the infected mother to refrain from breast-feeding. Patients with TB of the spine and bones may need hospitalisation. Curing TB TB can be completely cured. It is important to keep to a regular intake of a combination of drugs - Isoniazid, Rifampicin, Pyrazinamide and Ethambutol. - for the prescribed period of treatment. The treatment may last six months or even nine months. In the event of a resistance, medication may be carried on for 12 months.

88. 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

An Airman with Tuberculous Uveitis Case Study, By Robert Haddon, MD 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.

Information from Your Family Doctor Tuberculosis: Treatment of Tuberculosis Infection What is tuberculosis? Tuberculosis (say "too-burr-cue-low-sis"), also called TB, is an infection caused by a bacteria (a germ). Tuberculosis usually affects the lungs, but it can spread to the kidneys, bones, spine, brain and other parts of the body. What does my test show? Your tuberculosis skin test (also called a PPD test) shows that you've been infected with the germ that causes tuberculosis. You became infected when you came in contact with someone who had tuberculosis. The kind of tuberculosis infection you have is a mild infection. It is not what is called "active tuberculosis," when people have symptoms such as a cough, fever, night sweats, loss of energy or appetite and weight loss. Even though you don't have symptoms, you will need to take medicine to get rid of the infection. How will my doctor treat the tuberculosis infection? Your doctor will prescribe a medicine called isoniazid (say: "eye-so-nye-ah-zid") to prevent the tuberculosis infection from developing into the active disease and making you feel sick. This medicine must be taken every day for as long as your doctor tells you. Take the medicine on an empty stomach and drink a large glass of water, tea or juice with it. It is important to take all of the medicine. If you do not take all of the pills, you will not be protected against active tuberculosis. Don't drink alcohol or take acetaminophen (brand name: Tylenol) when you're taking isoniazid. Always check with your doctor before you take any other medicine because some drugs interact with isoniazid and cause side effects.

90. A Place In Time: South End -- Waverly CourierJournal article about the history of Waverly Hills tuberculosis Sanatorium in Louisville, Kentucky, and its neighborhood. http://www.courier-journal.com/reweb/community/placetime/southend-waverly.html

The story of Louisville's neighborhoods Waverly TUBERCULOSIS HOSPITAL WAS HEART OF AN ISOLATED COMMUNITY, INSPIRING LOYALTY IN PATIENTS, STAFF n the first half of this century, the Waverly Hills Tuberculosis Sanatorium gave a lot to the neighborhood below it. Cinders from its boiler room paved a portion of East Pages Lane beginning at Dixie Highway. And almost every family near the intersection found some employment there. The hospital was built on a mountain ridge off Dixie Highway in 1911 through the efforts of several prominent Louisvillians who were concerned about the spread and treatment of tuberculosis. Over the years, the neighborhood around it acquired the name. But the hospital no longer operates there, and these days the area is known as Waverly Hills to only a very few. Most of the hospital buildings that still stand are vacant and nearly hidden from the road below. However, a few of the houses once used by doctors are now private residences on East Pages Lane. The entrances to the hospital have been closed off, but residents say teen-agers walk up there anyway. Charles Severs, a Valley Station physician who now owns the main hospital building, has reported extensive vandalism. And Kenneth Wade Fey, a lifelong resident of the area, said that even the hospital's name is slipping away. People refer to their neighborhood now as Pleasure Ridge Park, he said.

More on Inquiries Service Printer Friendly Layout Biological Hazards Tuberculosis What is tuberculosis? Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by a germ called Mycobacterium tuberculosis . The germ usually causes an infection in the lungs, but sometimes it can affect other parts of the body. What are the signs and symptoms of tuberculosis? The signs or symptoms of tuberculosis are common to many other diseases. They are: loss of weight loss of energy poor appetite fever and wet cough How is tuberculosis transmitted? Tuberculosis is transmitted through the air from exposure to germs in the saliva of infected persons and sputum coughed up from their lungs. When an infected person coughs or sneezes, tiny droplets which contain the germs are released and can be inhaled by employees or anyone in the area. The germs inhaled through the nose and mouth reach the windpipe (trachea) and the dividing air tubes (bronchi) that lead to the lungs. The germs can spread from the initial location in the lungs to other parts of the body through the bloodstream. Within weeks from infection, the immune system which is the infection control mechanism of the human body, reacts to the germs and usually prevents them from multiplying and spreading. Not everyone infected develops the disease. In fact, about 90% of infected persons remain infected for life without having any symptoms.
