Smoking and Infectious Disease Tuberculosis and Legionnaires' Disease
Tuberculosis • Mycobacterium Tuberculosis • Aerosol transmission • Latent vs. active tuberculosis
The association between smoking and tuberculosis has been investigated since 1918
Tuberculosis Diagnosis • Latent TB granulomas can be seen on a chest xray • Mantoux skin test http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/idepc/diseases/tb/tst.html http://www.cmaj.ca/content/169/9/937.full
Tuberculosis Treatment • Suggested treatment according to the CDC includes: • ACTIVE-- • isoniazid (INH) • rifampin (RIF) • ethambutol (EMB) • pyrazinamide (PZA) • LATENT-- • isoniazid (INH)
Tuberculosis Prevalence • Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most important infectious diseases in the world in terms of morbidity and mortality • In 2008, the number of deaths due to TB was estimated at 1.8 million by the World Health Organization (WHO) • In 2008, an estimated 0.48 million new cases occurred in South Africa and, currently, the country ranks third after India and China in terms of total number of annual incident cases of TB
