It is caused by three specific types of bacteria that are part of the Mycobacterium group: Mycobacterium bovis, M. avium, and M. tuberculosis. Bovine TB, caused by M. bovis, can be transmitted from livestock to humans and other animals. No other TB organism has as great a host range as bovine TB, which can infect all warm blooded vertebrates. M. avium can affect all species of birds, as well as hogs and cattle. M. tuberculosis primarily affects humans but can also be transmitted to hogs, cattle, and dogs. Bovine TB has affected animal and human health since antiquity. Once the most prevalent infectious disease of cattle and swine in the United States, bovine TB caused more losses among U.S. farm animals in the early part of this century than all other infectious diseases combined. Begun in 1917, the Cooperative State-Federal Tuberculosis Eradication Program, which is administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), State animal health agencies, and U.S. livestock producers, has nearly eradicated bovine TB from the Nation's livestock population. This disease's presence in humans has been reduced as a result of the eradication program, advances in sanitation and hygiene, the discovery of effective drugs, and pasteurization of milk.

    Extractions: William Bishai, Deputy Director The goal of the Johns Hopkins Center for Tuberculosis Research (CTR), founded in 1998, is to contribute to global tuberculosis control through a range of research initiatives in epidemiology, clinical trials, drug development, diagnostics, vaccine development, pathogenesis, and basic biology. The Center strives to be an internationally recognized center of excellence for research, training and clinical practice. The Center's faculty is drawn from six departments in the Schools of Public Health and Medicine, with a research portfolio that is broad and interdisciplinary. Its major strengths are molecular biology, epidemiology, clinical trials, and drug development; additional areas of emphasis include animal models, pathogenesis, vaccine development, behavioral research, immunology, and diagnostics. Research involves collaboration across disciplines, sharing of resources, and information dissemination through seminars. The Center utilizes the laboratory facilities of the School of Public Health, the School of Medicine, and the Johns Hopkins Hospital. The flagship clinical research site is the Baltimore City Health Department Eastern Chest Clinic, which supports clinical and epidemiological trials as well as clinical and public health training. In addition, international research sites in developing countries such as Haiti, South Africa, Brazil, Peru, and Thailand provide venues for applied research with support from USAID and other funders.

Fighting tuberculosis in poverty-stricken parts of the globe goes hand in hand with combating the AIDS pandemic and protecting public health in Seattle. A new World Health Organization report found surprisingly rapid growth in the dangerous strains of TB resistant to multiple types of drugs. The worst TB, extremely drug resistant, has shown up in 45 countries, including the United States. In an era of constant air travel and globalization, TB cases can cross borders in hours. Seattle Biomedical Research Institute scientist David Sherman said that, unlike many diseases, infection with TB can be as simple as getting on the same bus with someone who has an active case. The House Foreign Affairs Committee has passed a renewal of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief with strong provisions for fighting TB, a prime killer of HIV-infected people. The measure also envisions spending as much as

In countries that do not have to struggle with war or civil conflict, academic research has shown that improvements with public health are often the first step toward higher living standards. But in such regions, how can treatments and care best be delivered? The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria thinks it has the answer. The organization is a nongovernmental organization, bankrolled by governments, international institutions and private donors, whose goal is to select the best programs for delivering treatment - primarily in sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and Asia - and then to finance those programs under supervision. The fund has raised billions of dollars and millions of people are being treated. But some experts still doubt whether a centralized financing mechanism is the best way to fight the three epidemic diseases.

    Extractions: Last Reviewed: 04 Dec 2007 Home Tuberculosis Overview, Pathology Overview In 1993, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared tuberculosis a global emergency. Tuberculosis (TB) is responsible for more deaths than any other infectious disease. Once called consumption, TB is a highly contagious, persistent disease characterized by the formation of hard grayish nodules, or tubercles. The disease is most often caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis and usually occurs in the lungs (the initial site of infection), but it also can occur in other organs. Because its signs and symptoms are easily confused with those of many other (usually respiratory) diseases, tuberculosis can be difficult to diagnose. Common symptoms are cough that is worse in the morning and may include hemoptysis (i.e., blood in the sputum), chest pain, night sweats, and breathlessness (dyspnea). Ninety percent of those infected with M. tuberculosis

76. Improved Tuberculosis Screening Test For HIV Victims
    World Health Organization (WHO) figures show that each year an estimated 9 million new cases of tuberculosis (TB) arise in the world.  
    http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/99711.php
    
    Extractions: For the first cohort, 285 adults newly infected by HIV and showing no clinical or radiological sign of TB were selected at the Fann National University Hospital Centre (Dakar) between 2003 and 2004. An ELISPOT test and a TST were performed for each patient at the beginning of the study. The TST indicated that 21% (53/247) of them had a TB infection at the moment of the test. However, this proportion reached 51% (125/247) with the ELISPOT test. It appears therefore that the latter is more sensitive than the TST whatever the stage of development of the disease. Nevertheless the ability to respond to the ELISPOT test decreases with the decrease in CD4 lymphocyte count, which appears to indicate the limits of this type of test in severely immunosuppressed individuals, as advanced-stage HIV infected patients can be. In parallel, a cohort of 243 TB patients was followed up for 2 years. The objective this time was to determine the ability of the ELISPOT test to predict, among people living in contact with these individuals, those who run the greatest risk of developing the disease. Between January 2004 and March 2005, 3072 contacts were identified for the whole set of TB patients. Preliminary results showed the sensitivity of the two tests to be comparable with this cohort, although ELISPOT is doted with a better specificity since it is not influenced by recent BCG vaccination.

    Extractions: Search: An estimated one billion people died from tuberculosis between 1700 and 1900. Even after Koch dispelled the myth that "bad air" brought about the disease by revealing its microbial cause, for decades the recommended treatment remained rest and fresh air at a sanatorium. Among those who lost their lives to TB were writers Fyodor Dostoevsky and Jane Austen, composer Frederic Chopin, and Presidents Andrew Jackson and Ulysses S. Grant. Also known as the "white plague," tuberculosis is a contagious, airborne bacterial disease transmitted through coughing, sneezing, and talking. Even singing or laughing at close range can be dangerous. Tiny microbe-filled water droplets are expelled by one person and inhaled by another. Still, extended close contact is necessary to transmit the bacteria. A healthy adult spending eight hours a day for six months with an infected person has a 50 percent chance of becoming infected. Alarmingly, each person who has active TB may infect on average 10 to 20 others, often family members and caretakers. Tuberculosis symptoms start with a persistent cough, fever, and night sweats. The bacteria spread rapidly, most often to the lungs, leading to tissue damage and a bloody cough. In about 15 percent of cases, the disease may spread to other parts of the body, including lymph nodes, the gastrointestinal tract, bones, and joints.
