13 Droplet Nuclei
14 Pathogenesis of TB
15 Pathogenesis 10% of infected persons develop TB at some point in life» 5% in the first year» 5% later in life Certain medical conditions increase risk that TB infection will progress to TB disease HIV infection strongest risk factor for development of TB if infected» Risk of developing TB disease increases 7% to 10% each year
16 Immune Response Strong Immune System TB TB TB TB TB Weakened Immune System TB TB
17 Common Sites of TB Disease Lungs Pleura Central nervous system Lymphatic system Genitourinary systems Bones and joints Disseminated (miliary TB)
18 Probability TB will be Transmitted Infectiousness of person with TB Environment in which exposure occurred Duration of exposure
19 Cases (Log Scale) 100,000 70,000 Reported TB Cases United States, ,000 * 30,000 * 20,000 10, *Change in case definition Year
20 No. of Cases Reported TB Cases United States, Data 9,951 Cases Rate 3.2/100,000 Data are updated as of 2/22/13 and are provisional Year
