Estimating the impact of nutritional transition and ending hunger on tuberculosis in 12 high-burden countries
BACKGROUND: Nutrition is a critical determinant of tuberculosis (TB), providing a protective effect at high body mass index (BMI) and incurring an increased risk of TB disease at low BMI. Global nutritional transition and interventions to end hunger could directly affect the TB epidemic in high TB burden countries. METHODS: We constructed dynamic TB transmission models for 12 high TB burden countries with low HIV prevalence. We explicitly account…
Tuberculosis multidrogo resistente en la era final de la tuberculosis
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis (TB) emerged shortly after introduction of rifamycins in the 1960s; isoniazid resistance had already emerged by the mid-1950s. Without these two drugs, tuberculosis is very difficult and costly to treat, with unacceptably high rates of treatment failure, death, loss to follow-up, and no known preventive treatment. Global attention first focused on MDR TB in the early 1990s when nosocomial outbreaks with high…
Eliminación de la tuberculosis, un vecindario por vez
Objetivos. Evaluamos una estrategia para la prevención de la tuberculosis en las comunidades más afectadas por esta enfermedad. Métodos. En 1996, trazamos un mapa de los casos de tuberculosis notificados (1985–1995) y de las personas con reacción positiva a la prueba de la tuberculina (1993–1995) en el condado de Smith, Texas, Estados Unidos de América. Definimos los dos conglomerados de mayor tamaño y densidad, identificando los dos vecindarios …
Eliminating Tuberculosis One Neighborhood at a Time
Objectives. We evaluated a strategy for preventing tuberculosis (TB) in communities most affected by it. Methods. In 1996, we mapped reported TB cases (1985–1995) and positive tuberculin skin test (TST) reactors (1993–1995) in Smith County, Texas. We delineated the 2 largest, densest clusters, identifying 2 highest-incidence neighborhoods (180 square blocks, 3153 residents). After extensive community preparation, trained health care workers went …
Rurality and Tuberculosis Incidence Trends in North and South Carolina, 1980 to 1992
U.S. tuberculosis incidence rates increased steadily from 1985 through the end of 1992. Many factors have been implicated as contributors to the reversal in the historic decline of tuberculosis: the HIV epidemic, poverty and homelessness, immigration from less developed countries, and a deteriorating public health infrastructure. The purposes of this study were to demonstrate the extent of geographic variation in tuberculosis incidence rate trend…
