the who's "end TB" campaign
wrap up TB module |
front 2 LTBI and "active TB"
a spectrum of pathology and clinical symptoms | back 2 - latenty infected with TB, normally have a 10% chance over your
lifetime that you will go from being latent to"active"
- unlucky 10% (lifetime risk)
- 90% chance of never
suffering from your disease
- if individual
HIV+, immune system compromised
- these individuals have 10%
ANNUAL risk of active TB
- *** goes from 10% LIFETIME risk in normal individuals,
to 10% YEARLY risk in HIV+ individual individuals
-
KNOW ALL OF THIS!!!
-
much higher risk of active TB if
HIV+
-
SIV
- viruses that infected different monkey species
- diff
monkey species react differently
- in some, is
lethal
- in some species, are fine (latently/chronically
infected)
- (kinda like how AIDS affected diff monkey
species)
- why do some species react fine but some have
lethal reactions? - is something that is trying to be
figured out
- TB originated in
africa
- thought for long time it originated in europe
- 50-60k years ago, humans only lived in africa. TB originated
there bc thats where ppl lived at the time
- as modern
humans migrated out of africa, brought TB with them
- research shows that these pops had coevolution with the TB
they carried
-
if u are infected with TB that from same place ur
ancestors are from, u are LESS likely to develop active TB
than if infected with a TB that coevolved with a diff group of
humans other than ur ancestors (then have higher chance of dev
active TB0

medical research
- fir epiodemiological
research - by CDC

- has to do with when robert
caulk discovered cause of TB
- made announcement on march

| back 6 seeks to publish and disseminate scientifically rigorous public
health information of international significance that enables
policy makers, researchers and practitioners to be
more effective; it aims to improve health, particularly among
disadvantaged populations
policy makers
- end TB strategy
- TB report
- TB country
profiles
researchers
- depends on the type of research
practitioners
- guidelines on the management of latent TB
- treatment
of TB guidelines
