Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rational Immunisation in the Treatment of Pulmonary Tuberculosis and Other Diseases: Comprising Paper Read Before the Royal Society of Medicine, March, 1909 It is generally considered that production and maintenance of immunity to infection are questions only of protection against bacteria and their products. I submit, in the light of increasing knowledge of the phenomena of cellular pathology: - (1) That this interpretation ignores such additional factors in the sum-total of infection as autolysis and other anomalies of cell-metabolism, as well as the toxic products of such anomalies, and is therefore far too restricted. (2) That its acceptance accounts for the limited success that has so far attended all hetero-inoculative methods of fighting infective disease. (3) That until this be realised no great advance is possible in the specific treatment and prevention, not only of conditions admittedly the result of bacterial invasion, but of many other diseases in no way related thereto. In order to maintain such propositions as these I shall bring evidence to show: - (1) That spontaneous auto-inoculation, being a process of natural cure of infection by auto-serum and auto-vaccine therapy, incites the restraint of all the factors concerned, and (2) That artificial auto-inoculation is on that account immeasurably superior to hetero-inoculation, whenever it can be conveniently applied. I shall also call attention to a novel method of interpreting temperature charts in terms of immunity curves, and shall refer to the advantages of measuring the antitryptic powers of the blood.

This book was released on 2015-01-15 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BACKGROUND: Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI), defined as a state of persistent immune response to prior-acquired Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens without evidence of clinically manifested active TB, affects about one-third of the world's population. Approximately 10% of people with LTBI will develop active TB disease in their lifetime, with the majority developing it within the first five years after initial infection. Currently available treatments have an efficacy ranging from 60% to 90%. Systematic testing and treatment of LTBI in at-risk populations is a critical component of WHO's eight-point framework adapted from the End TB Strategy to target pre-elimination and, ultimately, elimination in low incidence countries. OVERVIEW: Recognizing the importance of expanding the response to LTBI, in 2014 WHO developed Guidelines on the Management of Latent Tuberculosis Infection. The guidelines are primarily targeted at high-income or upper middle-income countries with an estimated TB incidence rate of less than 100 per 100 000 population, because they are most likely to benefit from it due to their current TB epidemiology and resource availability. The overall objective of the guidelines is to provide public health approach guidance on evidence-based practices for testing, treating and managing LTBI in individuals with the highest risk of progression to active disease. Specific objectives include identifying and prioritizing at-risk population groups for targeted intervention of LTBI testing and treatment, including defining an algorithm, and recommending specific treatment options. The guidelines are expected to provide the basis and rationale for the development of national guidelines for LTBI management based on available resources, epidemiology of TB including intensity of transmission, the health-care delivery system of the country, and other national and local determinants.

Download or read book A Rational Approach to Clinical Infectious Diseases written by Zelalem Temesgen and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written specifically for non-infectious disease specialists in both inpatient and outpatient settings, A Rational Approach to Clinical Infectious Diseases provides concise, practical guidance that mimics the decision-making process and reasoning employed by an ID physician. Using clear, understandable language, Dr. Zelalem Temesgen and his esteemed colleagues at the Mayo Clinic present the art and the context of infectious diseases together with the science, helping non-specialists apply a rational approach to the diagnosis and treatment of infectious conditions. Clearly explains the rationale of opting for one particular treatment or length of course over another in order to arrange appropriate management and follow-up. Provides focused ID decision support to questions such as: What diagnostic test should I order? What is the correct antibiotic for this patient/geographical region? Are IV or oral antibiotics most appropriate? How long should the antibiotic course be and when should it be de-escalated? What special considerations should be taken in immunocompromised patients? How often should complex infections be followed up? Uses a succinct, easy-to-read writing style, following a consistent format: Important characteristics/epidemiology; Clinical related data; Rash characteristics; Ancillary diagnostic studies; Treatment; and Other. Provides visual and quick-reference support with dozens of figures and tables throughout the text. Contains invaluable guidance to help non-specialists provide the best care for patients, stem antibiotic misuse and resistance, avoid adverse drug events, and avoid unnecessary costs.
