Mossfinn Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 World TB Day In the hope we can pass on a little knowledge of this disease. Moss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossfinn Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 It was only a matter of time, XDR- Drug Resistant TB. We are now paying the price for dropping our guard against a disease that should never have regained a foot hold in this country or Ireland.

geriatrickid Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Interesting part in the article link, "Treatment takes 12 to 18 months and costs more than £100,000 a patient. An outbreak would place a huge financial burden on local health authorities." I doubt Thailand has those resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakhar Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 HIV is fueling the TB proble too. It essentially goes hand in hand. I too am amazed that TB is a problem considering what it is, and how it is transmitted, you would think there would be more concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
