Why must healthcare workers be concerned about tuberculosis?
There are multiple reasons: -TB is highly contagious and can be spread from the patient to the healthcare worker and from the healthcare work to other patients. -It is spread through the air as small particles. -TB treatment MUST be completed fully. In other words, the medication used to treat TB has become less effective in treating the pathogen because patients are not taking the medication properly. This has lead to highly resistant strains of TB. -Highly resistant strains pose a higher risk for infecting healthcare works and other patients. *Patients should take medication the same time every day and for the full amount of time it is prescribed.
