Extreme Tuberculosis Spreading


Sep 18th, 2006 11:00 AM EST
By Virginia Simmons


A new form of Tuberculosis (TB) that is extremely resistant to all
current forms of medication appears to be spreading through South
Africa. So far the official death toll is at 60.


According to a recent

Reuters article, researchers have known about
this form of Tuberculosis for years, but the large number of deaths in such a
short period of time has caused significant concern among heath
authorities.


The new form of TB, called XDR-TB, is especially acute in patients who
are HIV positive. An estimated 5 million South Africans are.


Reuters, Sunday, September 17, 2006:


TB, an airborne bacillus that can be spread through coughing or
sneezing, can mutate when patients do not complete or are careless with
their treatment or are dispensed inadequate antibiotic cocktails.

Hunt [director of the AIDS Consortium, which represents 1,000
non-governmental organizations] said the government could have headed
off this latest strain through a highly focused campaign to inform TB
patients about the importance of taking their prescribed dosages on
time.

The Treatment Action Campaign, the country’s most vocal AIDS group, said
it planned a grassroots education campaign but noted that it must first
inform itself on how HIV-positive people could protect themselves
against XDR-TB and seek treatment.
