Tuberculosis Treatment

After a diagnosis of Tuberculosis, either latent or active, has been made, a provider must assume the responsibility of ensuring that the patient receives the appropriate antibiotic regimen, as well as the necessary follow-up to ensure the patient is taking the antibiotics as prescribed. The patient will need to take multiple oral antibiotics for a year, and medication adherence is required to ensure the elimination of the infection. Reasons for treating latent tuberculosis infection mainly center around the risk a person has of experiencing tuberculosis disease and subsequently infecting other people. Per CDC guidelines, Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease of the lungs. It is caused by a type of bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis and spreads from one person to another through expelled droplets while sneezing and coughs by the infected. TB is also called Koch’s bacillus after the name of Dr. Robert Koch who discovered the tuberculosis bacillus. With the spurt in HIV/AIDS cases, TB also saw an increase, as HIV weakens the affected immune system making them greatly susceptible to TB infection.
