Tuberculosis
by Miles Rudd, MD
What is Tuberculosis (TB)? Tuber
culosis (TB) is an illness caused by a
bacterium. A person gets infected with
tuberculosis by breathing air contaminated
with the TB bacteria TB usually infects
the lungs. TB can also infect the lymph
nodes, kidneys, bones, and the linings of
the chest, abdomen, and brain. A person
with a severe lung infection from TB is
said to have "Active TB". TB is spread
The Head Start Part-day program

into the air, every ume the person speaks,
laughs, sings, or coughs. A person with
"Active TB" is contagious to otherpeople.
What is a TB skin test?
A TB skin test is done by injecting a
small amount of the test material into the
skin. The test will turn positive in people
infected with TB. A positive test is deter
mined by a nurse or doctor. They will
measure the reaction the body has to the
skin test
Does a positive TB skin test mean I
have Tuberculosis?
No. A positive skin test means that you
are infected with the TB bacteria. Further
testing must be done to decide if a person
has "Active TB". This testing begins with
a chest x-ray. Sometimes mucus is col
lected from the lung. This is looked at for
the TB bacteria. One out of ten people
infected with the TB bacteria will develop
"Active TB".
How do you treat "Active TB"? TB
is treated with antibiotics. Many TB bacte
riatodaycanresistcertainantibiotics. This
makes it necessary to treat a person with
four antibiotics at first Testing is done to
find out which antibiotics will work best in
each patient. This takes up to 2 months.
Aflerthis, aperson will be treated with two
antibiotics. A full course of treatment lasts
6 months. Spread of TB is stopped by
taking antibiotics as directed.
If I am infected with TB, what are
thechancesofdeveIoping"ActiveTB"?
One out of ten persons infected with TB
will develop "Active TB" in their lifetime.
Some of the people infected will get "Ac
tive TB" soon after infection. Otherpeople
infected will get "Active TB" at some
point later in their life. The TB germ can
hide in the body for as long as 40-50 years
before it starts to grow again.
If I have a positive TB skin test, but
doru't have "Active TB", do I need to
take antibiotics? Maybe. A person in
fected with TB has a chance of getting
"ActiveTB"laterinlife. They will always
be in constant danger of the hidden TB
germs to start growing again. Taking a 6
month course of the anubiotic Isoniazid
(INH) can help prevent most of these
cases. This is a very important way of
preventing the spread of TB.
Why would I not want to take an
antibiotic for TB infection? The antibi
otic, INH, can cause liver problems in a
few people who take it This problem is
seen more often in people who are older
than 35 years old or people who drink
alcohol The chance of having liver prob
lems related to INH are very rare underage
35. Becaase of tliis, it is recommended that
all at risk people under 35 years old with a
positive TB skin test take INH. For those
over 35, the risk ofTB infection spreading
to become "Acti ve" TB may far out weigh
the risk of liver trouble. This liver trouble
wifl go away once the antibiotic is stopped.
Many of trie problems with INH can be
prevented by completely avoiding the use
of alcohol during treatment
