Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis Fact Sheet
American Lung Association® Fact Sheet MultidrugResistanttuberculosis. March 18, 2003.
http://www.lungusa.org/diseases/mdrtbfac.html

Extractions: January 2002 Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB) is a form of tuberculosis that is resistant to two or more of the primary drugs used for the treatment of tuberculosis. Resistance to one or several forms of treatment occurs when the bacteria develops the ability to withstand antibiotic attack and relay that ability to their progeny. Since that entire strain of bacteria inherits this capacity to resist the effects of the various treatments, resistance can spread from one person to another. On an individual basis, however, inadequate treatment or improper use of the anti-tuberculosis medications remains an important cause of drug-resistant tuberculosis. Even though throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s the incidence of tuberculosis was on the rise, recent trends indicate that the number of tuberculosis cases reported have been continuously declining. During the period of 1992 to 2000, the total number of tuberculosis cases reported decreased by 39 percent. Several factors have been identified as contributing to this substantial decline, including demographic changes and increased federal and other resources for state and local tuberculosis control efforts.

The lungs are primarily involved, but the infection can spread to other organs. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Tuberculosis can develop after inhaling droplets sprayed into the air from a cough or sneeze by someone infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The disease is characterized by the development of granulomas (granular tumors) in the infected tissues. The usual site of the disease is the lungs, but other organs may be involved. The primary stage of the infection is usually asymptomatic . In the United States, the majority of people will recover from primary TB infection without further evidence of the disease.

Extractions: On December 10, supporters of the legislation jammed the hearing room. Physicians, restaurateurs, public health experts, members of the clergy and students were eloquent in their attempt to convince the City Council and Mayor Daley that Chicago needs a strong indoor air ordinance to protect diners and workers. On January 7, opponents of the legislation voiced their opinion. You can show the Mayor and City Council that you support a clean indoor air ordinance that would make public places, including restaurants, smoke-free by visiting www.smokefreechicago.org and faxing a letter to Mayor Daley. A comprehensive smoke free ordinance would help protect Chicago workers, residents and visitors from the harmful effects of secondhand smoke. For more information call Matt Maloney at 312-628-0233.

March 05, 2002 Trade News Release ] - OSHA EXTENDS PERIOD FOR COMMENTS ON TUBERCULOSIS RULEMAKING RECORD. Nearly one-third of the world's population is infected with Tuberculosis (TB), which kills almost 3 million people a year. TB is the leading cause of death due to an infectious agent in the world. In the mid-1980s a resurgence of outbreaks in the United States brought new attention to TB. Increases in the incidence of TB are related to the high risk among immuno-suppressed persons, particularly those infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Drug resistant strains of this deadly disease have contributed to the problem. Outbreaks have occurred in hospitals, correctional institutions, homeless shelters, nursing homes, and residential care facilities for AIDS patients. Nationwide, at least several hundred employees have become infected and have required medical treatment after workplace exposure to TB.
