{"title":"Nosocomial tuberculosis in the AIDS era: strategies for interrupting transmission in developed countries.","authors":"E A Nardell","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"In developed countries where tuberculosis is increasing in association with HIV infection, nosocomial transmission among patients and from patients to health care workers is being increasingly reported. Nosocomial tuberculosis among HIV-infected patients is difficult to prevent by conventional control measures because the clinical presentation of the disease may be atypical and confused with other respiratory infections, because the tuberculin skin test is less reliable, because cough generating procedures may increase the probability of transmission, because HIV-infected patients may progress rapidly from infection to disease, and because the organisms are increasingly drug resistant, making preventive therapy difficult. Substandard ventilation and the recirculation of air in many contemporary buildings has also been implicated in widespread nosocomial transmission. Source control through isolation and effective treatment of known or suspected cases remains the most effective strategy for preventing transmission. Dilution of infectious droplet nuclei through ventilation with outside air is important, but incompletely protective. Like ventilation with outside air, filtration of recirculated air may reduce the chance of infection by dilution, but it is expensive. Traditional surgical masks offer the wearer little or no protection. Finally, ultraviolet air disinfection may augment ventilation by inactivating organisms in the upper room air, or in ventilation ducts.","PeriodicalId":77502,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the International Union against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease","volume":"66 2-3","pages":"107-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12918828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Three decades of tuberculosis in Singapore.","authors":"B H Heng, K K Tan","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"Tuberculosis (TB) mortality for the period 1955-1959 to 1985-1989 declined 87% from 72 to 9 per 100,000 in males, and 90% from 31 to 3 per 100,000 in females. The mean annual rate of decline of mortality was 6.8%. Older persons had a lower 4.2-5.2% decline annually compared to 14.1-16.0% in the 0-4 year age group. The incidence of TB declined 80% from 438 to 88 per 100,000 in males, and 71% from 152 to 43 per 100,000 in females over the period 1960-64 to 1985-89. The mean annual rate of decline in incidence was 5.9%. The lowest decline was observed in the children below 15 years (2.8-3.2%) and elderly persons 65 years and above (2.3-5.5%). Birth cohorts of 1945-49 and earlier had progressively higher mortality risks, but declining morbidity risks as they advanced with age. Singapore has overcome the early phase of the TB epidemic as evidenced by its relatively low rates among children and females and the low rates of extra-pulmonary TB and meningitis. The high incidence rates in old people are the residue of even higher rates experienced by this cohort of persons who experienced higher risks of infection in their early lives. At the prevailing rates of decline under the present conditions and control measures, TB will not be eliminated in Singapore over the next 50 years.","PeriodicalId":77502,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the International Union against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease","volume":"66 2-3","pages":"125-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12918830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
