[The situation of tuberculosis-beds in GDR (author's transl)]
Abstract:
The development of the Chest Hospitals and Sanatoria in GDR is discussed and compared with data on the trend of tuberculosis beds in the world given by BULLA (WHO). The density of beds of about 1 per 10 000 of the population for diagnostics and treatment of patients with pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis is very low. This results from a planned tuberculosis control with a steady decrease of tuberculosis incidence and a continuous diminishing of the duration of hospital treatment in favour of ambulatory therapy. Other indices representing the effectivity of hospital care (beds accomodated, duration of stay, costs and working power per hospital bed and hospitalized patient in the last 5 years are discussed.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.

Here is a detailed explanation of its pathophysiology:
Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...

Several diagnostic approaches are used to detect TB. The conventional method is the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), also known as the Mantoux test. However, this method has...
Pulmonary Tuberculosis V
Latent tuberculosis infection occurs when TB bacteria are present in a person's body, but are not causing illness or symptoms. It is not contagious, and preventive treatment is crucial to avoid the progression...
