Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the global war to control tuberculosis (TB), there are several critical battles which must be waged and won if we are to make significant progress. Broadly speaking, these battlefields may be regarded as diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Within the arena of treatment are various critical elements. Current drug regimens require 6 months to achieve predictable cures; it is essential that shorter regimens be developed to lessen non-adherence and to improve affordability. To facilitate directly-observed therapy, intermittent (less than daily) regimens have been employed. To ensure favourable outcomes, including patients with AIDS, thrice-weekly regimens are the current standard; reducing the frequency of dosing to twice- or once-weekly may offer significant advantages. Drug resistance to the current major medications, the rifamycins and isoniazid, threatens to make tuberculosis untreatable for rising numbers of patients in many regions of the world. Finding new, effective agents is essential to ensure cures for these cases and to halt transmission of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis to others. Additional issues include reducing the side effects and toxicity of anti-tuberculosis regimens and developing regimens that can be given simultaneously with anti-retroviral therapy without deleterious drug-drug interactions or unacceptable toxicity. Finally, attention must be directed to the potential utility of treating latent infection to prevent the evolution of active disease. The current vaccine Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG), while protecting infants and children against potentially lethal forms of TB, has done little to control the incidence of communicable adult pulmonary disease. Research is underway to develop improved vaccines, but due to the prolonged period to determine the efficacy of a TB vaccine (a minimum of 10 to 20 years) -- alternative strategies must be pursued. Furthermore, the utility of a traditional vaccine would be sorely limited by the fact that roughly two billion persons today harbour latent tuberculosis infection. This huge reservoir of future disease would not be eligible for a traditional pre-infection vaccine. "Preventive therapy" with isoniazid has been shown to reduce the subsequent risk of tuberculosis by about 70% in large, randomised placebo-controlled clinical trials. However, this strategy is limited by the requirement for extended duration of treatment (6 to 9 months), the risks of drug-induced hepatitis and rising rates of resistance to isoniazid in many regions of the world where the TB epidemic is most intense. Alternative means for the treatment of latent tuberculosis infection should be given high priority. The authors have assembled an outstanding panel of contributors to address these issues. The topics herein have great relevance both in the industrialised nations where contemporary medications and strategies appear to have exacted their maximum benefits and for the developing nations where this ancient scourge remains rampant. This book will provide an impetus for authorities and organisations devoted to the development of new drugs to address the aforementioned growing problems of TB world-wide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tuberculosis, the disease that the World Health Organization has recently declared a global emergency, was supposedly defeated by antibiotics half a century ago. It has returned in a highly contagious and fatal new form that cannot be treated with conventional drugs. Multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB), could cause some 10 million deaths over the next decade and is thriving in the overcrowded prisons of the former Soviet Union. The virtual collapse of the world's borders means that refugees, tourists, immigrants, business travellers, and others can spread the TB bacillus very efficiently. London, for example, has experienced a 100 per cent increase in reported cases in the past 10 years. This book covers all aspects of the disease: epidemiology, microbiology, diagnosis, treatment, control and prevention. Leading research is presented from centres around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tuberculin in Diagnosis and Treatment The use of tuberculin in diagnosis and treatment has received wide attention during the past ten years. New methods of application in diagnosis have stimulated a keen interest to determine their value, and recent changes in attitude toward important questions bearing upon immunity have provoked extensive researches, undertaken to make clear its mode of action. Tuberculin treatment, sternly rejected after its unsuccessful introduction, has again become widely popular and discussion is waged as to its true value, the most desirable preparation and the best methods of administration. A voluminous literature has grown up, and from these innumerable contributions we are now in a position to filter off certain facts that have crystallized. About much we are still uncertain, but there is enough that is definite to permit us to take bearings for our practical course. While this literature is easily accessible, it is widely distributed and a large part of the best of it is in foreign languages. No satisfactory summary has appeared in English, and such a summary seems particularly desirable, as overstatements and misconceptions incident to early enthusiasm have stuck fast in the minds of many and have remained uncorrected by the overwhelming evidence of later investigations. In our experience there is a very general lack of knowledge of precisely what a reaction to tuberculin means, and of what account is the information gained from its use when applied to a particular instance. Numerous cases are still sent to us with a diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis based solely upon a positive cutaneous reaction, and in medical discussion one hears the most bizarre interpretations of the subcutaneous test. During the past five years we have used tuberculin largely, both in diagnosis and treatment, at the Phipps Dispensary of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, and the experience we have gained is made the basis of this presentation.
