Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsThe Union Health Ministry has approved the introduction of a new treatment regimen for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis(TB) in India. With respect to tuberculosis, consider the following statements:
- It is a bacterial infection spread through inhaling tiny droplets from the coughs or sneezes of an infected person.
- About 90% of people infected with TB eventually get symptoms and develop TB disease.
- Currently, there is no licensed vaccine available for the prevention of TB.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that most often affects the lungs and is caused by a type of bacteria. It spreads through the air when infected people cough, sneeze or spit. TB is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis, belonging to the Mycobacteriaceae family.
- Statement 2 is incorrect: About a quarter of the global population is estimated to have been infected with TB bacteria. About 5–10% of people infected with TB will eventually get symptoms and develop TB disease. Those who are infected but not (yet) ill with the disease cannot transmit it. People with latent TB infection don’t feel sick and aren’t contagious. Only a small proportion of people who get infected with TB will get TB disease and symptoms. About 90% of people infected with TB develop a latent infection, which means they have the bacteria but aren’t yet sick and can’t spread the disease.
- Statement 3 is incorrect: TB disease is usually treated with antibiotics and can be fatal without treatment. In certain countries, the Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine is given to babies or small children to prevent TB. The vaccine prevents TB outside of the lungs but not in the lungs. Currently, Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is the only licensed vaccine available for the prevention of TB.
Additional Information: The most common antibiotics used are isoniazid, Rifampin, pyrazinamide, ethambutol, streptomycin. Tuberculosis that doesn’t respond to standard drugs is called drug-resistant TB and requires more toxic treatment with different medicines. Drug resistance emerges when TB medicines are used inappropriately, through incorrect prescription by health care providers, poor quality drugs, or patients stopping treatment prematurely. The new drug regimen recently approved includes a new anti-TB drug namely Pretomanid in combination with Bedaquiline & Linezolid (with/without Moxifloxacin).
