Is there a cure for a tb?
There is a cure for TB which stands for tuberculosis. This can be treated through various drugs like isoniazid (INH), rifampin (RIF), ethambutol (EMB) and pyrazinamide (PZA).
What is the health care plan for pulmonary tuberculosis?
The original presumptive diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is made through physical exam by MD/Pulmonologist, assessment of symptoms (chest pain, shortness of breath, productive cough, fever, night sweats, fatigue or bloody sputum), chest xray PA & lateral and submission of sputum specimens for smear, culture and sensitivity of acid-fast bacilli (AFB) daily for 3 days. Patient should be considered contagious, and advised to eliminate contact with non-household individuals and the public, and, if necessary to leave home for medical appointments, to wear a mask . A contact investigation should ensue, including close contacts, the scope of which to generally depend on the results of the smears and how widespread patient's contacts have been in the past several months. TB skin testing should be done on close contacts, and others depending on length of time and frequency of contact. Chest xrays should be done on those with symptoms. Prior to starting medications, baseline liver function studies, and visual acuity and color discrimination studies should be done. These tests as well as collection of sputum specimens should be repeated monthly. HIV counseling and testing should also be performed to rule out AIDS co-morbidity. Treatment is initiated immediately once presumptive diagnosis of TB is made, while waiting for sputum results. Initial phase of treatment should include the medications INH, Rifampin, PZA and Ethambutol daily and lasts approximately 2 months. At this time, PZA is usually dropped from the medication regime. The medications should be administered through Directly Observed Therapy (DOT). Chest xray and clinical evaluation should be repeated in one month following initiation of treatment to assess improvement and update treatment plan. In general, if patient has 3 negative sputum smears, shows clinical improvement and chest xray has improved, patient may be considered noncontagious. Once known, if sensitivity results indicate that the TB bacillus is sensitive to all medications being used, Ethambutol may be discontinued. If, however, sensitivities are unknown, or indicate resistance to one or more drugs, Ethambutol must be used for the entire course of treatment. The continuing phase of treatment consists of INH and Rifampin (and Ethambutol if indicated) for at least 4 more months. Monthly clinical exams by MD, chest xrays as indicated and length of time for sputum culture to convert to negative will determine any changes in medications and/or length of treatment. Definitive diagnosis can be made based on clinical evaluations, chest xray results and at least one sputum positive for Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MTB). A final chest xray should be done approximately one month prior to end of treatment and should show maximum improvement. Based on xray results, clinical improvement and negative cultures, treatment should be considered completed. Patient needs to be advised that, at any time in the future he/she develops signs or symptoms of TB, it is crucial that they return to MD/Pulmonologist.
How was TB treated?
TreatmentBecause of the nature of tuberculosis, the disease should never be treated by alternative methods alone. Alternative treatments can help support healing, but treatment of TB must include drugs and will require the care of a physician. Any alternative treatments should be discussed with a medical practitioner before they are applied.Supportive treatments include:* Diet. Nutritionists recommend a whole food diet including raw foods, fluids, and particularly pears and pear products (pear juice, pear sauce), since pears may help heal the lungs. Other helpful foods include fenugreek, alfalfa sprouts, garlic, pomegranate, and yogurt or kefir. Four tablespoons of pureed steamed asparagus at breakfast and dinner taken for a few months may also be helpful.* Nutritional therapy. Nutritionists may recommend one or many of the following vitamins and minerals: vitamin A at 300,000 IU for the first three days, 200,000 IU for the next two days, then 50,000 IU for several weeks; beta-carotene at 25,000-50,000 IU; vitamin E at up to 1,000 IU daily unless the patient is a premenopausal woman with premenstrual symptoms; lipotrophic formula (one daily); deglycerolized licorice; citrus seed extract; vitamin C; lung glandular; essential fatty acids; vitamin B complex; multiminerals; and zinc.* Herb therapy may use the tinctures of echinacea, elecampane, and mullein taken three times per day, along with three garlic capsules three times per day.* Hydrotherapy may be used up to five times weekly. Dr. Benedict Lust, the founder of naturopathy, supposedly cured himself of tuberculosis by using hydrotherapy.* Juice therapy. Raw potato juice, may be taken three times daily with equal parts of carrot juice plus one teaspoon of olive or almond oil, one teaspoon of honey, beaten until it foams. Before using the potato juice, starch should be allowed to settle from the juice.* Topical treatment may use eucalyptus oil packs, grape packs or grain alcohol packs.Professional practitioners may also treat tuberculosis using cell therapy, magnetic field therapy, or traditional Chinese medicine. Fasting may be undertaken, but only with a doctor's supervision.Allopathic TreatmentDrug TherapyFive drugs are most commonly used today to treat tuberculosis: isoniazid (INH), rifampin, pyrazinamide, streptomycin, and ethambutol. Of the five medications, INH is the most frequently used drug for both treatment and prevention. The first three drugs may be given in the same capsule to minimize and treat active TB the number of pills in the dosage. As of 1998, many patients are given INH and rifampin together for six months, with pyrazinamide added for the first two months. Hospitalization is rarely necessary because many patients are no longer infectious after about two weeks of combination treatment. A physician must monitor side effects and conduct monthly sputum tests. In 2002, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) worked with medical organizations to release new guidelines that better individualize the drug regimens received by TB patients depending on their disease symptoms and severity. Many can now receive once-weekly doses of rifapentine in the continuation phase of treatment.The first large scale trial of a new agent to treat TB began in 2002. The promising new drug, called moxifloxacin, may mean a shorter treatment course for TB sufferers in the near future. It will also be tested in combination with rifapentine, and researchers believe that using the drugs together will mean a less frequent dosing schedule for patients.Drug resistance has become a problem in treating TB. When patients do not take medication properly or for long enough periods of time, the TB organisms may become drug resistant. This makes the patient vulnerable to further infection and allows the TB organism to develop resistance.SurgerySurgical treatment of TB may be used if medications are ineffective. There are three surgical treatments for pulmonary TB: pneumothorax, in which air is introduced into the chest to collapse the lung; thoracoplasty, in which one or more ribs are removed; and removal of a diseased lung, in whole or in part. It is possible for patients to survive with one healthy lung.Expected ResultsThe prognosis for recovery from TB is good for most patients, if the disease is diagnosed early and given prompt treatment with appropriate medications on a long-term regimen. According to a 2002 Johns Hopkins study, most patients in the United States who die of TB are older-average age 62-and suffer from such underlying diseases as diabetes and kidney failure.Modern surgical methods are usually effective when necessary. Miliary tuberculosis is still fatal in many cases but is rarely seen today in developed countries. Even in cases in which the bacillus proves resistant to all of the commonly used medications, other seldom-used drugs may be tried because the tubercle bacilli have not yet developed resistance to them.Source: Answers.com
