This book was released on 2019 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Statement of the problem: Tuberculosis is the one of the leading causes of death among infectious diseases in the world. Although the TB epidemic is generally higher in Sub-Sahara Africa, it is not uniform among all the populations in this region. It is not known whether incidence of TB and TB treatment outcomes are similar between rural and urban settings in Sub-Sahara Africa. Goal: The main goal of our study is to improve TB control by describing the incidence and TB treatment outcomes in rural and urban Zambia Methods: In the first 2 specific aims we performed a retrospective cohort analysis of data from the TB control program in southern Zambia. We assessed the association between unfavorable TB treatment outcomes and rural/urban setting among new and recurrent TB patients. In the third aim we compared the incidence of TB between rural and urban settings among HIV seropositive individuals on ART in Zambia. Results: Among 21,057 new TB patients' rural health setting was associated with death (aOR: 1.3; 95% CI; 1.0 1.5). Similarly, in recurrent TB in rural areas were more likely to die during the time of TB treatment than their counterparts in the urban settings ((aOR: 1.7; 95% CI: 1.0 - 2.7). There was no difference in TB incidence among HIV seropositive individuals on ART between rural and urban settings ((aHR =1.4, 95% CI: 0.4 - 1.7). The overall incidence rate was high in both rural and urban settings (IR: 2.07/1000PYO; 95% CI: 1.80́ - 3.7). Conclusion Rural setting was associated with poor TB treatment outcomes. The incidence of TB was high in both rural and urban settings. TB control officers must adapt TB control strategies according to the setting.
Download or read book Promising Practices for Community Engagement in Tuberculosis Activities written by Alicia Lourdes M. de Guzmán and published by Catholic Relief Services. This book was released on 2009-10-12 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication highlights promising practices in increasing case detection and treatment rates as documented in the Maguindanao TB Control Project. It chronicles how community groups Microscopy on Wheels, TB Clubs, Muslim Religious Leaders and Barangay Health Workers have contributed to addressing the problem of TB. Health staff and others directly involved in the project also offer their insights and recommendations for mobilizing communities. Catholic Relief Services' experience demonstrates that even in conflict-ridden areas, there is enormous human potential that can be tapped to address the needs of TB-infected clients. The Magunidanao TB Control Project was a four-year partnership project for CRS and the Integrated Provincial Health Office. It aimed to reduce TB stigma and TB morbidity and mortality through increased detection by upgrading health facilities and training health workers to become more responsive and effective at managing TB cases. On October 21 the project received the 2009 APM Project Management Award as the International Relief and Development Project of the Year.
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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tuberculosis emerged as an epidemic in the 1600s, began to decline as sanitation improved in the 19th century, and retreated further when effective therapy was developed in the 1950s. TB was virtually forgotten until a recent resurgence in the U.S. and around the worldâ€"ominously, in forms resistant to commonly used medicines. What must the nation do to eliminate TB? The distinguished committee from the Institute of Medicine offers recommendations in the key areas of epidemiology and prevention, diagnosis and treatment, funding and organization of public initiatives, and the U.S. role worldwide. The panel also focuses on how to mobilize policy makers and the public to effective action. The book provides important background on the pathology of tuberculosis, its history and status in the U.S., and the public and private response. The committee explains how the U.S. can act with both self-interest and humanitarianism in addressing the worldwide incidence of TB.
