We not infrequently have what we might term a secondary reaction coming on usually from three to five days after a dose has been given. This usually manifests itself by a slight temperature reaction and is sometimes accompanied by some of the slighter symptoms mentioned above. This is probably due to an autoinoculation of bacterial products from bacilli which have been destroyed as a result of the previous injection. That this explanation is probably correct may be inferred from the fact that if another injection of tuberculin be given at this time an increase of the reaction symptoms is apt to occur, showing that the dosage plus the amount of bacterial products of the autoinoculation taken together is too great a dose for the patient at the time. A dose should not be administered when such a secondary reaction is present. That this secondary reaction is not due to the "mobilization of bacilli" is proven by the fact that the temperature disappears at once. In fact, this "mobilization of bacilli" which was talked of so much by Virchow's followers is a myth when the remedies are used properly. I have given many thousands of injections and have never seen it occur. Moeller (Therapie der Lungenschwindsucht, Schroeder und Blumenfeld, page 246) also says that he has never seen it occur in 28,000 injections that he has given. There has been some discussion on this point, and like many Tuberculin be otners k still an open question. The objection to the use Used on a of tuberculin at such a time is based upon the belief that the Fever1? rise of temperature is due to an autointoxication due to tuber cle toxins being set free and being poured into the blood stream from the tuberculous focus.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Diagnosis and Treatment of Pulmonary Tuberculosis He has described his new method of elastic tube percussion and endeavored to point out its advantages and limitations. He has also described more fully than can be usually found in works of this character the effect of advanced tuberculosis on the heart, also the contractions and compensatory emphysemas which occur on the part of the lung, in order to carry on the functions of respiration where one or both of these organs are seriously damaged. Tuberculosis is a disease caused by a specific micro-organism and like all such diseases it is cured by the establishment of immunity. This fact has been kept uppermost in mind in discussing the treatment of the disease. The author has endeavored to discuss clearly and impartially those measures which are of greatest value in bringing about improvement or cure. He has endeavored to define the possibilities of each measure and to Show its limitations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive textbook on tuberculosis that covers all aspects of the disease: epidemiology, microbiology, diagnosis, treatment, control and prevention. The main part of the book comprises very detailed and richly illustrated clinical chapters. The copious images are the advantage of this book. Chapters on new methods and treatments and on animal tuberculosis are included. The material is based on a wealth of experience in tuberculosis as seen in endemic countries such as Saudi Arabia that enjoy free access to advanced investigative and therapeutic facilities. This coexistence of endemicity of the disease and state-of-the-art facilities is rare in poor and developing countries or in rich and developed nations. This multidisciplinary volume is ideal for all clinicians, laboratory and research workers, epidemiologists, university teachers and students, health care planners and international organizations involved in world health and infectious disease.

The threat of tuberculosis is still potent, with two million deaths globally. This new edition, containing contributions from a number of experts in this field, addresses the resurgence of tuberculosis, and the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacilli, and the growth of HIV-infected individuals with tuberculosis, as well as recent scientific developments.
Download or read book Tuberculosis in the Workplace written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-05-15 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before effective treatments were introduced in the 1950s, tuberculosis was a leading cause of death and disability in the United States. Health care workers were at particular risk. Although the occupational risk of tuberculosis has been declining in recent years, this new book from the Institute of Medicine concludes that vigilance in tuberculosis control is still needed in workplaces and communities. Tuberculosis in the Workplace reviews evidence about the effectiveness of control measuresâ€"such as those recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionâ€"intended to prevent transmission of tuberculosis in health care and other workplaces. It discusses whether proposed regulations from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration would likely increase or sustain compliance with effective control measures and would allow adequate flexibility to adapt measures to the degree of risk facing workers.

This book was released on 2015-02-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is estimated that one third of the world's population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the bacterium that causes tuberculosis (TB)), and that each year, about 9 million people develop TB, of whom about 2 million die. Of the 9 million annual TB cases, about 1 million (11%) occur in children (under 15 years of age). Of these childhood cases, 75% occur annually in 22 high-burden countries that together account for 80% of the world's estimated incident cases. In countries worldwide, the reported percentage of all TB cases occurring in children varies from 3% to more than 25%. The Stop TB Strategy, which builds on the DOTS strategy developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Union Against TB and Lung Disease, has a critical role in reducing the worldwide burden of disease and thus in protecting children from infection and disease. The management of children with TB should be in line with the Stop TB Strategy, taking into consideration the particular epidemiology and clinical presentation of TB in children. These consensus guidelines were produced to help the National Tuberculosis Programmes on the management of tuberculosis in children.
