“TB is the child of poverty – and also its parent and provider” - Archbishop Desmond Tutu to encapsulate the link between Tuberculosis and Poverty.

Discovered by Robert Koch in 1882, Tuberculosis is an ancient disease and it remains the leading cause of death of human beings.

TB is mainly caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis which destroys the lungs and it is highly infectious.

Every year 1.98 million Indians are infected with TB

1). SAMPLE COLLECTION Sample will be collected from susceptible TB patient. Sample (if sputum) should consist of recently discharged material from the

bronchial tree.

2). STAINING The screening for bacilli of Mycobacterium tuberculosis would be carried out

by acid fast staining by the Ziehl-Neelson(ZN) Method.


All the samples would be cultured in media only after screening test.

The sample which will show more than 10 bacilli per field will be further studied for the sputum culture.

4). DRUG SUSCEPTIBILITY TEST

Proportion method [ SOLID]

MGIT [ LIQUID]

GENE XPERT

Tuberculosis is a serious but curable illness and can be fatal if left untreated.

Treatment : combination of 3-4 different antibiotics given over a 6-9 months

If treatment is stopped too soon, it is possible to become ill again; also if the

drugs are not taken correctly, the germs that are still alive may become resistant

to those drugs.

In rare cases, TB can be fatal even with treatment. Death can occur if the lungs

become too damaged to work properly.
