Is Bastrop County
Keeping I p With
TB Cases?
"In 1'JfiO, from Ha^lrop County,
were listed 1(1 admissions to .state
tuberculosis hospitals. Wert* re
cords kept on thosi patient-?
Aie names of their 'contacts'
known tti *n family members,
the people they worked with?
Have these people had te>ts to
show whet he i or not they were
infected with TB nerms? If ~y> ■'
i- the un.wer to the e ijuentions,
then TB case finding in Bastrop
County i proceeding well," -aid
Mrs Merman Jones in a talk
recent!;, at the Smithviile Lions
Club in Smithville
Mr- Jones, who lives in Aus-
tin, i- public information director
<>f the Texas Tuberculosis As-
sociation. She was introduced by
Mr . Ja .< - Hampton of Smith-
ville, president of the Bu trop
County Tuberculosis Association.
Mrs. .Jones, the former Bess
Harris, is the daughter of the
late Mr. and Mr- Robert Win-
kle Harris of Smithville.
Work of the Texas Tuberculos
is Association, the speaker point-
ed out, like that of the Ba-trop
County Tuberculosis Association,
i supported through Christmas
Seals. She stated that each local
tuberculosis association — and
there are 89 in Texa.- is a- K°od
or as bad in its efforts of TB
i control as the people in the
county were willing to make it.
Describing the TB germ, Mrs.
Jones stated that one of the
peculiarities of the disease is
that a germ may enter a per-
son's body while he is a child
and perhaps do no damage for
many years. Then if the body's
defences break down because of
overwork or weakness from an-
other illness, th germ might
come forth, multiply and cause
active TB.
"Tt xas' five state tuberculosis
■ ohhpitals are costing the tax-
payer $7 million each year.
Then are 3.000 beds in those
hi'-pitals, but only 21'of them
ar now filled." The speaker
pouted out that "We are not
adequately tack ing the TB pro-
blem at its critical point—the
re.-erv<>irs c-f infectiot that exist
in our communities among our
citizens, in large area of Texas
where the means of finding, tre-
at inn and follow i:.g-up th< active
'I I! patient . do not exist."
Remarking th.a. most of the
patients who a:e admitted to
tate tuberculosi - hospitals when
their disease is far-advanced,
Mr- Jor.e- noted that this i-
likelv caused because TB in its
ear y stage- has no symptoms.
The speaker thin told of a
chief problem trou ling medical
and puhln health workers.

usi since World War il have
revolutionized TB treatment.
These drug.- have truly been a
God send to TB victims, but de-
-piti their vir'ues none of them
will prevent TB and none will
absolutely cure TB. But bevause
they have been so effective in
the treatment of tuberculosis,
they have been misused. Rati
ents have started treatment with
them, their condition improved,
and they have discontinued tak-
ing their drugs or medicine.
When this happens, the TB
germ.- become resistant to the
medicines—they just don't work
ari\ more
she continued. "In some parts
■ if the I' S., the rate is almost
.r><) per cent. The real tragedy
of this is that anyone who catr
ches tuber closis from someone
who has drug resistant TB aLso
has drug-resi.-tant TB."
Mr Jones concluded with a
statement that. "The time to
eradicate TB is now, while there
are drugs effective against the
germs and before more patients
develop a type of disease which
can only be treated as we treat-
ed TB patients twenty years ago.
We have the tools; we have med-
ical men with the know-how Wo
have hospital beds. Ix't Us finish
Th< number of per-ons com the job where it must be fintsh-
j irig to hospitals in the U. S.
with this type of drug -e-istant
I di .-ease is steadily increasing,"
ed, by every community holding
itself responsible to find and .ret
under treatment its own cases."
