Give information about extensive drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) cases in the Philippines.
Which of the following statements about tuberculosis is FALSE?
TB came back to prominence after the emerging of new MDR (multidrug resistant) strains of M. tuberculosis.
O Most people exposed to M. tuberculosis will develop LTBI (latent TB infection).
Many tests are used to confirm active TB disease including chest X-ray, the skin tuberculin, and the IRGA blood
tests.
The tuberculin skin test is not a good TB screening tool for people who have had the BCG vaccine.
True. What kind of vaccine is the BCG vaccine? What will be the tuberculin test result for someone who has
prior exposure to the pathogen?
Drug-resistant TB can be acquired via sequential mutations in the pathogen’s genome, or via transmission of a resistant pathogen from another person. How can these events be distinguished? Why is it important to know which is more prevalent?
