TB could be eliminated. F o r
good. The know-how is there.
Drugs have revolutionized the
treatment of TB . Someone who
has active TB can become non-
infectious within a short t im e .
Anyone infected w lthTB germs
can even avoid developing active
TB. By taking p ills .
The problem is this: finding—
people who are infected or have
active disease, then treating them
properly.
Until case detection and ade -
quate treatment take place,TB..
w ill be abroad in the land. People
who have TB - without knowing
it — can spread it to others. By
coughing, sneezing, spitting, and
laughing.
Too often, though, o n c e T B
is detected in a person the proper
treatment is not given. Adequate
drug therapy is sometimes not
administered. The quality o f
care varies tremendously across
the country. Laboratory services
are not always used to follow the
course of the patient's illness.
Today most TB patients can re
ceive the m ajor part and some
times all of their treatment as
outpatients — either in a clin ic,
health center, or a doctor’ s office
W hen hospitalization is nece
ssary, it is increasingly in gen
eral hospitals that have laborat
ory fa c ilitie s . Laboratory exam
inations of sputum samples give
the definite answers to determine
the presence of TB germs in the
patient's body.
There is one urgent problem -
involved in this growing emphasis
on outpatient care. The patient.,
becomes more responsible fo r
his own treatment and must take
medication regularly. By doing,
so he has the advantage of stay -
ing with his fam ily, of not suff
ering isolation. But his failure
to stick to his prescribed thera
py can have real disadvantages.,
fo r everyone.
To find out more about chang
ing approaches in TB care, con
tact your local tuberculosis and
respiratory disease association.
They have the facts.
