KidsHealth Parents Infections Signs and Symptoms: In older infants and children, primary pulmonary tuberculosis (the first infection with the tuberculosis bacteria) usually produces no signs or symptoms, and a chest X-ray shows no signs of infection. Rarely, there may be enlargement of the lymph nodes and perhaps some coughing. In most cases, only the tuberculin skin test is positive, indicating that the child has been infected. Children with a positive tuberculin test, even if they show no disease, usually will need to receive medication. This primary infection usually resolves on its own as a child develops immunity over a 6- to 10-week period. But in some cases, it can progress and spread all over the lungs ( progressive tuberculosis ) or to other organs. This causes signs and symptoms such as fever, weight loss, fatigue, loss of appetite, and cough. Another type of infection is called reactivation tuberculosis . Here, the primary infection has resolved, but the bacteria are dormant, or hibernating. When conditions become favorable (for instance, a lowered immunity), the bacteria become active. Tuberculosis in older children and adults may be of this type. The most prominent symptom is a persistent fever, with sweating during the night. Fatigue and weight loss may follow. If the disease progresses and cavities form in the lungs, there is coughing and production of sputum, which may be blood-tinged.

The listserve is open to any member of the TB scientific community. Structural genomics is a new and rapidly developing field in biology. The goal of this field is to discover and analyze the structures of all protein molecules in nature in order to provide a foundation for a fundamental understanding of biology. Consortium researchers have been leaders in the national and international effort to develop ideas for this field and to engage the worldwide biological community in discussing and advancing the field. Structural genomics is closely tied to functional genomics, the identification of functions of all proteins in nature, and to genomic sequencing, the determination of the genetic blueprints of all organisms. Together these fields will revolutionize biology over the next two decades. This project will develop and demonstrate the power of structural genomicsthe determination and analysis of protein structure on a genomic scale. We will determine the structures of over 400 proteins from M. tuberculosis, and analyze these structures in the context of functional information that currently exists and that we generate. These structures will include about 40 novel folds and 200 new families of protein structures. The database of linked structural and functional information that we construct will form a lasting basis for understanding M. tuberculosis pathogenesis and for structure-based drug design.

Tuberculosis (TB) is responsible for more deaths than any other infectious disease. Once called consumption, TB is a highly contagious, persistent disease characterized by the formation of hard grayish nodules, or tubercles. The disease is most often caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis and usually occurs in the lungs (the initial site of infection), but it also can occur in other organs. Because its signs and symptoms are easily confused with those of many other (usually respiratory) diseases, tuberculosis can be difficult to diagnose. Common symptoms are cough that is worse in the morning and may include hemoptysis (i.e., blood in the sputum), chest pain, night sweats, and breathlessness (dyspnea).

73. The Ultraviolet Germicidal Mask Supplier of protective face masks. Kills tuberculosis, staph, strep. Sterilizes air both entering and exiting the mask. http://www.erols.com/markricci

THE ULTRAVIOLET GERMICIDAL MASK ANTI - BIOLOGICAL WEAPON ANTI - TUBERCULOSIS "A breakthrough in viral protection…" INTRODUCTION: The Ultraviolet Germicidal Mask is a germicidal mask system that kills germs, viruses, and other airborne pathogens including anthrax, small pox, tuberculosis, staph, and strep, that would otherwise be inhaled by the user. Before entering the mask, the air travels through a sterilization chamber and is exposed to ultraviolet radiation which kills the undesired microorganisms. In this manner only germ free air is provided to the user. The Ultraviolet Germicidal Mask, when worn by a tuberculosis patient for example, prevents others from exposure to tuberculosis, as well as preventing the re-infection of the patient . By sterilizing the exhaled air, the patient does not infect his/her living environment, and does not breathe in concentrated levels of pathogens which quickly saturate a conventional surgical mask. The Ultraviolet Germicidal Mask is the easiest mask to breathe through in the world. Since the UGM uses light to sterilize air, there is no resistance to breathing. In a conventional respirator, one must breathe through almost an inch of charcoal. This also makes the UGM superior to conventional respirators in that it dramatically reduces the possibility of leakage around the seal of the mask caused by the pressure created by this resistance.See the

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease that is spread from person to person through the air. TB generally affects the lungs. Most people think that TB is a disease of the past an illness that no longer threatens us today. However, each year, 8 million people around the world become sick with TB and there are over 2 million TB-related deaths worldwide. The California Tuberculosis Controllers Association (CTCA) is an affiliate of the California Conference of Local Health Officers (CCLHO), and is comprised of local health agency officials directly responsible for the control of tuberculosis (TB) in their respective communities.

Home News Business Columns ... of this story September 30, 2001 Gaylord's Alpine Center a sight to behold By MIKE NORTON Record-Eagle staff writer GAYLORD - Forget the faux Suisse frills on the Alpenstrasse, and even St. Mary's Cathedral, which looks more like a half-sunken alien Mother Ship than anything else. If you want to see the best architecture Gaylord has to offer, you've got to head north of town to the J. Richard Yuill Alpine Center. Built in 1937 as a 128-bed tuberculosis sanitarium, the Alpine Center was the work of the Depression-era Works Progress Administration. In the 1960s it became the Gaylord State Home, a residential and training institution for people with developmental disabilities. Today it houses a variety of state, county and other public offices. Even though the big four-story main building is in a somewhat severe style, it's full of decorative touches that have long vanished from today's public buildings. But the stars of the complex are the cottages and other outbuildings: built of red brick with white stone sills, copper guttering and steep dark roofs. In a way, they're Gaylord's version of the Traverse City State Hospital complex - except that they're in much better shape. Not that the place hasn't suffered a certain amount of neglect and vandalism in its time. In fact, the old buildings were allowed to decay during most of the 1980s until Otsego County finally got around to rehabilitating them.

Go to a Section in TB Table of Contents Treatment Prophylaxis References by Richard E. Chaisson, M.D. Tuberculosis is one of the most prevalent infections of human beings and contributes considerably to illness and death around the world. Globally, it is estimated that approximately one-third of the global population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and that seven to eight million new cases of tuberculosis occur each year. Annual tuberculosis mortality is between two and three million people, making this disease the most common infectious cause of death in the world. Most tuberculosis cases and deaths occur in developing countries, notably in Asia and Africa. In the United States, the annual incidence of tuberculosis is considerably lower than in developing countries. Nonetheless, tuberculosis remains an important problem in this country and the impact of tuberculosis has worsened in recent years.
