the who's "end TB" campaign

wrap up TB module

2

LTBI and "active TB"

a spectrum of pathology and clinical symptoms

  • latenty infected with TB, normally have a 10% chance over your lifetime that you will go from being latent to"active"
    • unlucky 10% (lifetime risk)
    • 90% chance of never suffering from your disease
  • if individual HIV+, immune system compromised
    • these individuals have 10% ANNUAL risk of active TB
  • *** goes from 10% LIFETIME risk in normal individuals, to 10% YEARLY risk in HIV+ individual individuals
  • KNOW ALL OF THIS!!!
    • much higher risk of active TB if HIV+
  • SIV - viruses that infected different monkey species
    • diff monkey species react differently
    • in some, is lethal
    • in some species, are fine (latently/chronically infected)
    • (kinda like how AIDS affected diff monkey species)
    • why do some species react fine but some have lethal reactions? - is something that is trying to be figured out
  • TB originated in africa
    • thought for long time it originated in europe
    • 50-60k years ago, humans only lived in africa. TB originated there bc thats where ppl lived at the time
    • as modern humans migrated out of africa, brought TB with them
    • research shows that these pops had coevolution with the TB they carried
    • if u are infected with TB that from same place ur ancestors are from, u are LESS likely to develop active TB than if infected with a TB that coevolved with a diff group of humans other than ur ancestors (then have higher chance of dev active TB0
