    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Public Health
    • Nursing Education

    Background:

    • Tuberculosis (TB) was once considered nearly eradicated in the US.
    • Recent increases in TB cases and drug-resistant strains necessitate renewed focus.
    • Healthcare providers may lack current training due to the disease's prior perceived decline.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To address the resurgence of tuberculosis (TB).
    • To update healthcare providers, particularly nurses, on TB control and prevention.
    • To detail nursing care for TB patients, including those with renal disease.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of TB pathophysiology and transmission.
    • Identification of risk factors, signs, and symptoms.
    • Discussion of nursing interventions for TB patients.

    Main Results:

    • Increased TB cases and drug-resistant strains are observed.
    • Healthcare providers require updated knowledge on TB management.
    • Early diagnosis, treatment, and isolation are key to slowing TB spread.

    Conclusions:

    • Nurses must be prepared to assess and manage TB risks for patients and themselves.
    • Special attention is needed for TB patients with co-existing renal disease.
    • Effective TB control relies on updated education and robust public health strategies.
