Living in the Shadow of Death: Tuberculosis and the Social Experience of Illness in American History
Tuberculosis—once the cause of as many as one in five deaths in the U.S.—crossed all boundaries of class and gender, but the methods of treatment for men and women differed radically. While men were encouraged to go out to sea or to the open country, women were expected to stay at home, surrounded by family, to anticipate a lingering death. Several women, however, chose rather to head for the drier climates of the West and build new lives on their own. But with the discovery of the tubercle bacillus in 1882 and the establishment of sanatoriums, both men and women were relegated to lives of seclusion, sacrificing autonomy for the prospect of a cure. In Living in the Shadow of Death Sheila Rothman presents the story of tuberculosis from the perspective of those who suffered, and in doing so helps us to understand the human side of the disease—and to cope with its resurgence. The letters, diaries, and journals piece together what it was like to experience tuberculosis, and eloquently reveal the tenacity and resolve with which people faced it. Author: Sheila M.

This is the story of a killer that has been striking people down for thousands of years:tuberculosis. After centuries of ineffective treatments, the microorganism that causes TB was identified, and the cure was thought to be within reach—but drug-resistant varieties continue to plague and panic the human race. The “biography” of this deadly germ, an account of the diagnosis, treatment, and “cure” of the disease over time, and the social history of an illness that could strike anywhere but was most prevalent among the poor are woven together in an engrossing, carefully researched narrative.

Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Anti-Tuberculosis," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Anti-Tuberculosis in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Anti-Tuberculosis when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Anti-Tuberculosis, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain.Author: Icon Group International Paperback: 40 pages Company: ICON Group International, Inc.

Through a historical and comparative analysis of modern Japan's epidemic of tuberculosis, William Johnston illuminates a major but relatively unexamined facet of Japanese social and cultural history. He utilizes a broad range of sources, including medical journals and monographs, archaeological evidence, literary works, ethnographic data, and legal and government documents to reveal how this and similar epidemics have been the result of social changes that accompanied the process of modernization. Johnston also shows the ways in which modern states, private organizations, and individual citizens have responded to epidemics, and in the process reexamines the concept of the epidemic itself, showing that epidemics must be thought of not only in medical and biological terms but in political, social and cultural terms as well.

Though notorious for its polluted air today, the city of Los Angeles once touted itself as a health resort. After the arrival of the transcontinental railroad in 1876, publicists launched a campaign to portray the city as the promised land, circulating countless stories of miraculous cures for the sick and debilitated. As more and more migrants poured in, however, a gap emerged between the city's glittering image and its dark reality. In Tuberculosis and the Politics of Exclusion, Emily K. Abel shows how the association of the disease with "tramps" during the 1880s and 1890s and Dust Bowl refugees during the 1930s provoked exclusionary measures against both groups. In addition, public health officials sought not only to restrict the entry of Mexicans (the majority of immigrants) during the 1920s but also to expel them during the 1930s. Abel's revealing account provides a critical lens through which to view both the contemporary debate about immigration and the U.S. response to the emergent global tuberculosis epidemic. 
The dramatic story of tuberculosis is told here in a straightforward and accessible style. It presents the stories of persons connected with the disease, either as victims, or as those who made contributions to our knowledge of it; in addition to these personal accounts, the book unfolds the history and explains the pathogenesis of TB. The re-emergence of tuberculosis as a major American public health hazard has focused much attention on this ancient disease. This book offers a comprehensive account of the disease from prehistoric times through to the present day, detailing the attempts to eradicate it completely. Its four separate sections (the spread of tuberculosis; its infectious nature; susceptibility to it; and methods of treatment) are linked through the device of presenting individuals' particular experience of the disease, whether as as victims, or as those who made contributions to our knowledge of it; in between these vignettes, the book unfolds the history and explains the pathogenesis of TB. A detailed medical glossary completes the volume.Author: Thomas M.

It was not until the early 20th century that tuberculosis was perceived in Britain as a major problem warranting state involvement in a national campaign for its eradication. This original study examines the rise of the anti-tuberculosis movement and the subsequent development of a new public health service and medical specialism. Bryder conceives of medical history not as a series of scientific discoveries and technological developments, but as an integral part of a broader social and political arena, and discusses the experiences of individual patients and public perceptions of the disease.Author: Linda Bryder Hardcover: 320 pages Company: Oxford University Press, USA (1988-06-30) ISBN: 019822947X List Price: $125.00 Amazon Price: $117.76 Used Price: $75.00

The community-based TB control program of BRAC, one of the world's largest NGOs has created access to lifesaving diagnostics and treatment for hundreds of thousands. For over 25 years, its army of health volunteers has brought services to the doorsteps of patients. From organizing mobile outreach to collect sputum samples for diagnosis to implementing a bonding system to ensure treatment compliance, BRAC's experience demonstrates how programmatic innovation and sound management systems can enable an organization to achieve some of the highest cure rates while operating at unprecedented scale. Making Tuberculosis History provides a complete account of this program: how it was conceived, piloted, refined, scaled, managed, and ultimately adapted for new contexts, including the rapidly growing urban areas of Bangladesh and remote mountainous regions of Afghanistan.Author: BRAC Health Program Hardcover: 268 pages TB control, NGO, public health challenges, community based services, maternal, neonatal, and child health Company: The University Press Ltd (2011) List Price: Amazon Price: $44.00 The victims of tuberculosis (usually known as consumption) included not only Keats, The Bront's, Chopin and Chekhov, but members of almost every family. It was a killer on a huge scale. The White Death is an outstanding history of tuberculosis. Thomas Dormandy's engrossing account of the search for a cure is complemented by a description of its complex natural history and by portraits of individual sufferers, including writers, artists, and musicians, whose lives and work were shaped (and often tragically curtailed) by the disease. But, tuberculosis is not just a disease of the past. In many parts of the world it is still a bigger killer than AIDS, while in America and Europe drug-resistant strains threaten its resurgence.

Sometimes it is impossible to do this. (c) Bronchial breathing and bronchial whispered voice heard on auscultation over the vertebra? below the seventh cervical spine. This is known as D'Espine's sign. It is present only when the mass of glands is fairly large. As these glands are usually confined to the anterior mediastinum they do not cause the dullness and changes in quality of the voice or breath sounds posteriorly unless of considerable size. (d) Signs of intrathoracic pressure such as enlarged superficial veins on the chest, unequal pupils, hoarseness, paroxysmal " brassy " cough, dyspnoea, sibilant inspiration or inspiratory stridor heard over both lungs due to pressure on the trachea, defective air entry in one lobe due to pressure on a bronchus. (e) In addition to the above, the presence of enlarged tuberculous glands in the neck, axillae or elsewhere would suggest the possibility of similar infection of the glands at the root of the lung. It is in children that the tuberculin tests find their greatest field of usefulness. The cutaneous Tuberculin test is by far the best to employ.

In children five years or under a positive cutaneous test is definite evidence of a tuberculous focus somewhere in the body.

Active tuberculosis is traditionally classified as either primary or secondary, with the two distinguished by the interval from infection to clinical illness. On chest radiography, the appearance of pulmonary infiltrates primarily in the lower lobes, with associated adenopathy and pleural effusions, has been considered an atypical presentation and has been presumed to be due to primary disease. Secondary tuberculosis has been believed to be associated with upper-lobe pulmonary disease and cavitation; this presentation is termed typical. In a retrospective study, Geng and colleagues (2005) used molecular fingerprinting techniques to classify infections as either likely new infections or reactivated infections and then correlated that classification with chest radiographic findings. The investigators also evaluated how HIV infection changed those correlations, if at all. HIV-infected patients with pulmonary tuberculosis often have adenopathy and mid- or lower-lobe disease without cavitary disease; this picture has been believed by some observers to be due to primary infection and by others to represent reactivation disease in a host with abnormal immune responses.Original Publication Date: December 2005 Author: Tamar F.

The emergence of resistance to anti-tuberculosis drugs, particularly of MDR-TB and newly XDR-TB, has become a major public health problem. The current treatment regiment has several disadvantages, i.e. long treatment period (DOTS takes minimum 6 months) during which tubercle bacilli mutant become resistant to one or more drugs; side effects of the used drugs; and, co-infection of HIV/AIDS. The emergence of MDR-TB has made many currently available anti-TB drugs ineffective. Sleeping latent forms of mutant bacilli resistant against common anti-TB drugs pose the risk of epidemic for the new generation.

This guide provides an introduction to the application of tuberculosis (TB) genotyping to TB control practices and to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) TB Genotyping Program. It was written by the National Tuberculosis Controllers Association (NTCA)/CDC Advisory Group on Tuberculosis Genotyping and is intended for TB controllers, epidemiologists, laboratorians, and other program staff members who will be involved in submitting isolates for genotyping, analyzing and responding to genotyping results, or using genotyping data to monitor TB transmission trends.This guide does not contain specific directions on how a TB control program must carry out its genotyping program. The CDC genotyping program is not a research effort, and participating state and local programs are not required to carry out a protocol, submit a certain number of isolates, or collect specific data. Rather, this guide provides general guidance about how to utilize the genotyping laboratories, how to understand genotyping results, and how to apply those results to improve TB control practices.

Tuberculosis is a complicated medical condition that has a rich and important history, a distinctive social context, and an active and destructive present. The disease appears in Greek literature as early as 460 BCE and was a favorite of 19th-century novelists whose heroines often succumbed to "consumption." Through history, the development of TB diagnosis and treatment has been synonymous with events in the development of medicine. Tuberculosis presents TB from the perspective of the people and events that shaped its past and the factors that influence its current global state. The book begins with an essay discussing the importance of the social factors that influence the transmission and progression of TB. The following eight chapters focus on disease-specific information, historical and biographical perspectives, influence on the arts, the current state of TB in the world, and future directions. Throughout, medical information about the disease is intertwined with a historical and cultural perspective to illustrate the state of the disease today. Author: Carol A.

This guide is intended for primary care providers who care forindividuals and populations who may be at risk for infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the body without signs and symptoms, or radiographic or bacteriologic evidence of tuberculosis (TB) disease. Approximately one-third of the world’s population is infected with M. tuberculosis. In the United States, an estimated 9–14 million people have LTBI. Without treatment, approximately 5–10% of persons with LTBI will progress to TB disease at some point in their lifetime. Identifying and treating those at highest risk for TB disease will help move toward elimination of the disease. Primary care providers play a key role in achieving the goal of TB elimination because of their access to high-risk populations.

Tuberculosis (TB), a deadly airborne disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, takes the lives of almost 2 million people each year and is considered to be the most common infectious disease in the world. However, thanks to the efforts of researchers such as the volumes’ lead editor, Dr. Stefan H. E. Kaufmann, there have been several recent advances in fighting the disease.Dr. Stefan Kaufmann, the Founding Director of the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology in Berlin and Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at the Charité at the Humboldt University, Berlin, has published more than 600 scientific articles and currently serves as President of the European Federation of Immunological Societies and Chair of the Immunology Division of the American Society of Microbiology. Dr. Kaufmann is considered the world's leading expert in the field of tuberculosis. The Handbook of Tuberculosis, which explores the causes and available treatments of the widespread infection as well as current research into vaccination, is divided into three separate volumes covering different areas of study. Each volume provides an essential resource to molecular and cell biologists, bacteriologists, immunologists, pathologists and pathophysiologists, clinicians and those working in the pharmaceutical industry and interested in world health. Volume 1: Molecular Biology and Biochemistry highlights the molecular mechanisms of tuberculosis. Volume 2: Immunology and Cell Biology is co-edited by Dr. Warwick Britton, Professor of Medicine at the University of Sydney and head of the Mycobacterial Research Program at the Centenary Institute, Sydney, Australia. It presents the pre-eminent resource for all aspects of cell biology and immunology of tuberculosis, including vaccine development. Volume 3: Clinics, Diagnostics, Therapy and Epidemiology introduces a comprehensive overview of clinical aspects of tuberculosis, including drug resistance, epidemiological aspects and clinical trials.

Improve your patient’s health through a fresh view of their behaviorsPatients who use over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription medicine often do not take the drugs as intended, sometimes to the detriment to their health and well-being. These widespread problems cause health professionals to agonize over how to try to make sure patients comply with medication instructions. Patient Compliance with Medication: Issues and Opportunities tackles this tough issue by exploring in detail the range of noncompliance behavior, the negative impacts the behavior has on patients as well as society at large, and practical ways to influence people to take their medicine for optimum health. Respected pharmacist and author Jack Fincham and other noted experts provide insights, surprising data, and effective solutions to a challenge nearly all health professionals encounter. Patients often use drugs they get from a multitude of sources, making the capability of monitoring drug use difficult. Other problems can also interfere with a patient’s health, such as a patient borrowing drugs from family or friendsor even not taking them at all simply because he or she are unable to pay for them. Patient Compliance with Medication: Issues and Opportunities goes beyond the standard pat explanations and mostly ineffective quick solutions usually offered for the complicated noncompliance issue. Leading authorities describe the range of reasons for a patient’s behavior and provide practical strategies that strike at the root of the problem. Helpful tables, figures, and extensive references are also included. Topics in Patient Compliance with Medication: Issues and Opportunities include: the prevalence of noncompliance costs of noncompliance drug therapies that lead to noncompliance measuring compliance models to evaluate patient compliance evaluation methods ethical considerations health professionals’ roles in compliance disease state management future considerations much more Patient Compliance with Medication: Issues and Opportunities is insightful, crucial information for health professionals, educators, and students.

The emergence in 2006 of extensively drug-resistant strains of tuberculosis, especially in countries with a high prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus, is a serious threat to global public health and jeopardizes efforts to effectively control the disease. These important developments and the availability of new evidence related to the diagnosis and management of drug-resistant tuberculosis have mandated an urgent update of existing guidelines. Guidelines for the Programmatic Management of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis: Emergency Updated Edition 2008 replaces previous publications by the World Health Organization on this subject. The Guidelines offer updated recommendations for the diagnosis and management of drug-resistant tuberculosis in a variety of geographical, economic and social settings, and the recording of data that enables the monitoring and evaluation of programs. Intended for use by both tuberculosis control programs and medical practitioners in low- and middle-income countries, the guidelines take into account a number of recommendations which will support the achievement by countries of the goals of the Global Plan to Stop TB 2006-2015 of the Stop TB Partnership.

In the 1980s and early 1990s, New York City experienced an unprecedented outbreak of tuberculosis. Inadequate healthcare services, an increase in social alienation of the poor, and the emergence of drug-resistant strains led city health officials to respond with draconian policies to ensure compliance, including the use of detention of non-infectious individuals--sometimes for up to two years--that violated individual civil liberties. The New York TB epidemic has since been controlled, but this public health triumph has come at great cost. This gripping narrative of medicine and morality raises ethical issues that are of increasing importance in the world of modern medicine. Richard J. Coker warns the international community against assuming a fortress mentality, advocating a more just balance between health, liberty, and the burdens society should be prepared to accept in the pursuit of both.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by bacteria called Mycobacteriumtuberculosis. The bacteria usually attack the lungs. But, TB bacteria can attack any part of the body such as the kidney, spine, and brain. If not treated properly, TB disease can be fatal. TB disease was once the leading cause of death in the United States. TB is spread through the air from one person to another. The bacteria are put into the air when a person with active TB disease of the lungs or throat coughs, sneezes, speaks, or sings. People nearby may breathe in these bacteria and become infected. However, not everyone infected with TB bacteria becomes sick. People who are infected but not sick have what is called latent TB infection. People who have latent TB infection do not feel sick, do not have any symptoms, and cannot spread TB to others. But, some people with latent TB infection go on to get TB disease. There is good news. People with active TB disease can be treated if they seek medical help. Even better, most people with latent TB infection can take medicine so that they will not develop active TB disease. In the early 1900s, TB killed one out of every seven people living in the United States and Europe. Starting in the 1940s, scientists discovered the first of several medicines now used to treat TB. As a result, TB slowly began to decrease in the United States. But in the 1970s and early 1980s, the country let its guard down and TB control efforts were neglected. This led to an increase in the number of TB cases between 1985 and 1992. However, with increased funding and attention to the TB problem, there has been a steady decline in the number of persons with TB since 1993. But TB continues to be a problem. For example, the number of TB cases is still declining. This booklet answers common questions about TB. Please ask your doctor or nurse if you have other questions about latent TB infection or TB disease.

This guide provides an introduction to the application of tuberculosis (TB) genotyping to TB control practices and to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) TB Genotyping Program. It was written by the National Tuberculosis Controllers Association (NTCA)/CDC Advisory Group on Tuberculosis Genotyping and is intended for TB controllers, epidemiologists, laboratorians, and other program staff members who will be involved in submitting isolates for genotyping, analyzing and responding to genotyping results, or using genotyping data to monitor TB transmission trends.This guide does not contain specific directions on how a TB control program must carry out its genotyping program. The CDC genotyping program is not a research effort, and participating state and local programs are not required to carry out a protocol, submit a certain number of isolates, or collect specific data. Rather, this guide provides general guidance about how to utilize the genotyping laboratories, how to understand genotyping results, and how to apply those results to improve TB control practices.

Additionally, up to two billion people are carriers of TB. Because of emerging antibiotic resistance , high incidence in the third world , and co-infection with human immunodeficiency virus , tuberculosis is once again off increasing importance globally. Consequently it is timely for a new comprehensive reference work to be published on all aspects of TB. The best format for such a reference book would be an Encyclopedia. The proposed Encyclopedia of Tuberculosis would cover all of the following areas in detail : History of TB ; Geographical distribution of TB ; Risk factors for TB ; Laboratory testing for TB ; Molecular Diagnosis of TB ; Tuberculosis of all the body systems, including the Integumentary System, The eye , the Ear , The Nose , the throat, the musculo-skeletal system , the circulatory system , the endocrine system , the digestive and hepatic system, the nervous system , the lymphatic/immune system , the urinogenital system , the respiratory system ; Genes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ; Virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis; Cellular-Immunity to to Mycobacterium tuberculosis ; Antibody response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis; Acute phase proteins in TB ; Innate Immunity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis ; Latent Tuberculosis; Treatment for Tuberculosis ; Antibiotic resistance in Tuberculosis ; Tuberculosis and HIV co-infection ; Animal models of Tuberculosis ; Vaccines for tuberculosis ; Control programmes for tuberculosis ; Eradication of Tuberculosis.

Plagues and Epidemics: Infected Spaces Past and Present (Wenner-Gren International Symposium Series)
Until recently, plagues were thought to belong in the ancient past. Now there are deep worries about global pandemics. This book presents views from anthropology about this much publicized and complex problem. The authors take us to places where epidemics are erupting, waning, or gone and to other places where they have not yet arrived, but where a frightening story-line is already in place. They explore public health bureaucracies and political arenas where the power lies to make decisions about what is, and is not, an epidemic. They look back into global history to uncover disease trends and look ahead to a future of expanding plagues within the context of climate change. The chapters are written from a range of perspectives, from the science of modelling epidemics to the social science of understanding them.

The fact that the World Health Organization has declared tuberculosis a "global emergency" indicates the serious inadequacy of the ways in which the control methods at our disposal are used. International agencies are increasingly aware of the importance of the numerous factors other than the design and efficacy of therapeutic drug regimens. This study takes a look at the holistic aspects of global tuberculosis control. Although it deals specifically with tuberculosis, the principles outlined and discussed are relevant to many other areas of global medicine, including the ever-growing problem of HIV/AIDS.Hardcover: 509 pages Company: World Scientific Publishing Company (1999-10-15) ISBN: 1860941435 List Price: $92.00 Amazon Price: $86.17 Used Price: $32.58

The World Health Organization estimates that 200 million people will develop tuberculosis between 2000 and 2020 and that 35 million of these will die. The unique contribution of nurses to prevention and care is enhanced by their comprehensive understanding of the current evidence and guidance for best practice in caring for patients with tuberculosis. Tuberculosis: a foundation for nursing and healthcare practice provides a clear and up-to-date insight into the issues surrounding the current global pandemic of tuberculosis and provides guidance on the nursing role in diagnosis, prevention, treatment and care. In this stimulating text, assumptions are challenged, new paradigms are explored and nurses and other practitioners are encouraged to apply and adapt core principles to their own care environments. This text offers nurses and other healthcare practitioners an essential reference for the planning and implementation of confident, competent and relevant individualized care for an increasing number of patients with tuberculosis.Author: Robert J.

After successful treatment for tuberculosis, ~7% of patients have recurrent disease, requiring re-treatment within a couple of years. DNA fingerprinting has shown that some recurrences are actually reinfections with a different strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is not known how common reinfection is; studies to date have included small numbers of patients. Verver and colleagues (2005) sought to determine the rate of tuberculosis caused by reinfection among successfully treated patients with long-term follow-up (median, 5 years) in an epidemiologic field site in Cape Town, South Africa. Two adjacent urban communities made up the field site. The incidence of new smear- and/or culture-positive tuberculosis was 313 cases per 100,000 population per year during the initial study period of 1993-1998. Patients' HIV status was unknown. All bacteriologically confirmed tuberculosis cases reported during that interval were included initially, but tuberculosis cases caused by isolates resistant to multiple drugs were excluded from the analysis. Patients were followed until their first confirmed recurrent episode of tuberculosis or until the end of the study in December 2001.Original Publication Date: December 2005 Author: Tamar F.
