- W4298857105 abstract "The World Health Organization (WHO) in 1993 declared a global emergency against tuberculosis (TB). Despite that call for action and government programs to slow its spread, TB continues to kill millions of people annually. An estimated 20 million people are sick worldwide with full-blown TB, nearly two-thirds of whom are in Asia. TB bacteria are emitted from infectious individuals through a cough, sneeze, or breathy discourse, after which they travel through the air to infect other individuals. If untreated, there is a 5-10% chance that the bacteria will become active, attacking the lungs, causing prolonged coughing, weight loss, and ultimately death. Living in crowded or unclean areas increases one's risk of contracting the TB bacteria. Once infected, compromised immune systems will have a harder time than healthy, strong systems fighting off development of the disease. The poor are therefore usually the most severely affected by TB. HIV infection and disease also increase one's susceptibility to TB and other diseases, in addition to making TB more difficult to detect. HIV is spreading in Asia faster than anywhere else on the planet. Since the source of the current TB epidemic is infectious patients who are not totally cured, the WHO recommends that health care workers provide patients with a proper dose of antibiotics and make sure that they take it every day for six months as the most effective TB control strategy. China, India, and Thailand, Asia's most seriously affected countries for TB, have committed to adopting the strategy." @default.
