Feldmann, M.D. Medical Director, National Tuberculosis Association Are you one of those who think tuber ' culosis is wiped out, that nobody dies from TB, and that you and members of your family are in no danger of contracting it? No matter how well informed you think you are, these questions and answers will make an important difference in your life, if they remind you to check with your doctor to be sure you don't have TB. Do people still die from TB? Yes, nearly 14,000 every year. Great progress has been made in reducing the death toll from almost 200 per 100,000 in 1900, to 8 per 100,000 in 1956. This has come about be cause of steadily improved living condi tions, stepped-up treatment, and an intensive case-finding program. But more people still die from tuberculosis each year than from all other communicable diseases combined. What are my chances of catching TB? Between 55 and 60 million Americans are infected with the tubercle bacillus, the TB germ. About two and a half million of these will probably break down with active tuberculosis during their lifetime. Some 250,000 people in the U. S. now have active TB, and about 90,000 new cases are reported annually. The disease is spread by people with active tuberculosis who cough up the germ. If I catch TB, will the new drugs cure me? The new drugs make curing TB easier and quicker, but you still might be ill. for months, even years. The drugs are saving many lives, but they still don't kill all the germs; they only slow them down. Some patients become resistant to the major drugs, or do not respond to them for some reason. Intensive research continues in many laboratories across the country for even more effective drugs. Would I have to go to the hospital? Almost all TB patients should spend at least an initial period of several months in the hospital, where skilled treatment, modern laboratory facilities, and expert nursing speed recovery. Patients usually complete their recovery at home under a doctor's care. Hospitalization is most im portant to prevent spreading the con tagious germs to others. 1 Is TB expensive? Yes, very expensive, for you and your country and the commu nity., Many states give free treatment to 30 Family Weekly, May 18, 1958 --f4-4--rH THE TUBERCULIN TEST This simple skin test can show whether you have TB germs in your body. How it works all that is done is to put some clear fluid called tu berculin between layers of the skin, usually on the forearm. What it shows the place on the skin will be examined from two to four days later. When the doctor or nurse has checked the size, shape; and color of the mark, you will be told one of two things: 1. Your test is neg ative this means that your body contains no TB germs, or 2. Your test is posi tive this does not mean that you have TB, but that germs have entered your body at some time. If your health is good, your body usually keeps these germs from doing any damage. However, you should have a chest . X ray to be sure. TB TB patients. This brings cases under con trol and protects the public against the germs. The cost for hospital care after treatment and related family expenses may total thousands of dollars. National costs for TB treatment and control are estimated at $725,000,000 annually, includ ing hospitalization, medical care, public health programs, and public assistance. Can TB be prevented? No satisfactory vaccine for universal use against TB has yet been developed. BCG is the best known vaccine. Though it is considered safe and offers some protection against tuberculosis, people already infected do not benefit from BCG. What are my chances of getting better after TB? Excellent, if it is detected early and you get proper treatment. You can judge your chances from these figures: Some 250,000 Americans now have active TB. Although about 14,000 of them will die each year, 1,750,000 people who once had active TB are alive today. Can I work after I've had TB? Nearly always, but often people need vocational training or help in finding an easier job. One of the important parts , of TB treat ment is helping patients find the right kind of employment so they can avoid breaking down again. What are the chances of a relapse? One of the tragedies of TB is that people who have spent months or years recovering do break down again. There are about 550,000 inactive cases in need of medical supervision. An ex -patient has a good chance of staying well if he lives sensibly and gets proper help, and an excellent chance if his TB was detected early. How can I tell If I have TB? Even people who have died of TB may not have known they had it. In one out of five TB deaths, the disease is not reported until afterward. You may think symptoms like fever, coughing, and loss of weight will warn you, but these signs may not appear ( until the disease has been with you quite a while and then it is much harder to cure. A yearly tuberculin test can reveal whether the - germs have entered your body. If they have, a chest X ray can tell if they have started to do any damage. What can I do to prevent catching TB? Keep up your health and that of your family to maintain high resistance to tuberculosis. Get a yearly physical exam ination. Youngsters especially should be given the tuberculin test because of the importance of early discovery. Get a chest X ray if the tuberculin test is positive, and as often as your physician recom mends. Support the work of your health department, local TB association, and the others engaged in the fight against tuberculosis. How Is the fight against TB carried on? -Fighting TB is a slow and costly job. Un known victims are found through tuber culin tests, chest X rays, and good public health control work. They must be treated with drugs, sometimes with surgery, and always must have careful nursing. Patients must be helped back to normal living. They need help for their own sakes and to avoid being a burden or a source of danger to others. Your local tuberculosis association helps to find people-with TB, get them under treatment, and bring them back to normal living. It also supports research for new drugs and an effective vaccine. This work is made possible by your purchase of Christmas Seals. How can I help fight TB? Continuous public education is necessary to reach many people in your community who have misconceptions about TB. You can obtain from your local TB ' association an in formative film, "Are You Positive?" in animation and color. It explains the mis conceptions and the facts about TB. It is available free for use by community organizations schools, churches, women's clubs, service clubs, and other civic groups. Showings before such audiences will help protect you, your family. and friends, and the health of your com munity as a whole.
