Tuberculosis

in COVID-19 Coronavirus

I have just been reading about the investigation currently under way regarding the use of the BCG vaccination in the fight against COVID-19. I also looked at the horrendous worldwide death rates from TB. The leading cause from a single infectious agent at 1.45m deaths in 2017.  Thailand had 11,500 deaths from TB in 2017. The death rate in Western Europe was very low with the aim of eradication. It should be possible to test and trace for TB and the aim should be to eradicate the disease as even with recovery, damage to lung tissue can be a serious long term health problem. I would hope the health authorities in Thailand have a plan, but this article does cast doubt on any progress being made. https://www.thailandmedical.news/news/between-one-out-of-four-to-five-thai-taxi-drivers-have-tuberculosis-tb
