Multidrug-Resistant TB
The right to enjoy the benefits of scientific progress (REBSP) is a little-known but potentially valuable right that can contribute to rights-based approaches to addressing multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB). We argue that better understanding of the REBSP may help to advance legal and civil society action for health rights. While the REBSP does not provide an individual entitlement to have a new ...
متن کاملMultidrug resistant TB and extensively drug resistant TB
Resistance to anti-TB drugs is not an emerging phenomenon, but a process closely related to the implementation of chemotherapy against TB. Clinical evidence to prove the development of resistance to anti-TB drugs was provided by the Medical Research Council team in 1948, shortly after using streptomycin in (as?) monotherapy for TB treatments 1. As isoniazid, PAS and streptomycin were first used...
متن کاملEpidemiology of Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB)
The history of tuberculosis treatment has observed sequential development of resistance to anti-tuberculosis drugs over the decades. Para amino salicylic acid (PAS) and isoniazid (INH) were introduced to reduce the development of streptomycin (SM) resistance, which heralded the era of combination treatment for tuberculosis [1]. Within 20 years, resistance to both INH and SM was already a challe...
متن کاملDiagnosing Tb among Plhiv
Sputum smear microscopy has a particularly low sensitivity for detecting TB among PLHIV. This is because people in later stages of HIV infection and with compromised immune systems often release fewer organisms into their sputum, at concentrations below the threshold for visual detection under a microscope. For PLHIV with a negative smear microscopy result but who are still presumed to have TB,...
متن کاملMultidrug-Resistant TB in the Philippines: Totem and Taboo
Bill Anderson Escobar et al.’s discussion of medically unexplained physical symptoms is useful, and could trigger a renewal of how the medical profession works [1]. We are in transition at the present, and what we have been trained for is less and less relevant. This disjunction between our training and practise has given rise to a generation of unhappy doctors. The traditional “doctor” dealt w...
