TU IN GENERAL
By < harlotte Scott
Tntil recently, when our class
was asked to write an essay on
titfxTCulosoN. 1 knew little nor
■was 1 very concerned with any-
thing pertaining to tuberculosis,
•commonly referred to as TR. We
had had tuberculin tests in
school before and every year
our town give? x ra\ to>ts and
jponsors campaigns to raise
money, but other than feeling
Telieved at not l>eing one of the
few "unlucky ones", 1 gave it
no other thought. How shocked
1 was when 1 started reading
the material given to me to
find what a disastorious disease
TB really is.
TB, like mod diseases, is no
respector of age, race or finan-
cial status. However, the ages
most likely to develop the dis
ease are between 15 and 45.
Negroes. Indians and Spanish
races are hit harder than any
other and the death rate among
white men twice exceeds that
of white women. TB is also
more common in city slums and
in families whose economic sta
tus is low. than in rural areas
and in well fed, well-housed fa-
milies.
Financially M "> percent of the
TB patient.- cannot afford their
hospital hill. This is why the
selling of Christmas seals is
so necessary.
As for the lives taken, one
death occur.- every four hours.
TB causes more deaths than all
other infectious diseases com-
bined.
It is most contagious. You
re nol born with it, and you
can only catch it from someone
who ha-- an activt case of it.
Some of the ways tuberculosis
is -pread art by hreathng air
tomuining tubercular germs,
kissi- g someone, or putting in
your mouth befori sterilisation
things used bv someone with ac-
tive TB.
No symptoms whatsoever are
given during the early stagt -
of TB. When it reaches the
advanced stage.- such symptoms
as fatigue, indigestion, night
sweats, loss of appetite and
weight, spitting up of blood,
frequent colds, chronic cough,
and fever are given.
If TB is discovered before
the.-e symptoms appear, recovery-
will be much quicker. That is
why it is so important to take
advantage of the x ray and tu
berculin tests given by our town;
to discover TB in its early
stages.
Tubercule bacillus w the germ
that causes TB. The first tim<
these germs enter the body,
body resistance may fight off
all germs since the first num
ber of germs is small. The next

time these germs attaik. some
times month', sometimes year-
later, the body may or may not
he at>le to defeat all tht germs,
depending upon rt« t nt sicknesses
and body resistance.
This is where chest x rays are
needed: to follow the progress
of the germ and to strengthen
resistance if shadows appear on
the x-ray shewing a possible
case of TP If a shadow ap
pears on the x-ray, though, it
doe- not necessarily mean TB
is active. The shadow may re-
sult from scars of a past hat
tli where resistance won over
the tubercular disease Further
x rays, examinations, ami tests
will probably be recommended
by the doctor in such a case.
Then, if a conclusion of active
TB is reached, a sanatorium i-
the best plan to iro until con:
j>lot« recovery is assured.
If a yearly chest x ray isn't
given, the disease may reach
the advanced stages where ii
complete recovery or death will
be the result. In an area where
cases of TB have been discov
ered monthly check ups by the
doctor art- required.
A successful program depends
upon these things First, w<
rv ust have a well informed staff'
of doctors and nurses to keep
the public posted or. the do's and
and don't's of TB Next, we |
need a cooperativi and under !
standing public to follow
through with the plar. given
them for the prevention of TB.
Last hut not least, we need ad-
equate funds for the cur< of
this disease.
What can our town do to
help'' lt car provide for the
above necessities. It has already
provided for fre> x-ray test
which are essential It need
the help of the individual in
order to succeed.
What can the individual d'
