The BCG vaccine is given to children who are predisposed to get TB infections, such as children living in endemic countries or close contacts with a confirmed case of TB.
    2. Healthcare workers can also receive the BCG vaccine as well since they are at a high exposure risk
    3. Hospitals must have good ventilation in order to prevent Tuberculosis from infecting its patients]]>     2021-07-13 01:53:25 UTC https://padlet.com/morganlee12211/8kxmuyc6vmtw7c9l/wish/1646756806     Who Gets Tuberculosis and How It Is Spread morganlee12211 https://padlet.com/morganlee12211/8kxmuyc6vmtw7c9l/wish/1646776038 - Anyone can get TB, but those at greatest risk include people: who live in, come from, or have spent time in a country or area with high levels of TB

A small amount of a substance called tuberculin is injected just below the skin on the inside of your forearm
    - If the skin test is positive, your provider will get a chest x-ray in order to see if you have active or latent tuberculosis]]>     2021-07-13 02:04:32 UTC https://padlet.com/morganlee12211/8kxmuyc6vmtw7c9l/wish/1646784797     Treatment of Tuberculosis morganlee12211 https://padlet.com/morganlee12211/8kxmuyc6vmtw7c9l/wish/1646790858 - If you have latent TB, your doctor might recommend treatment with medication if you're at high risk of developing active TB. For active tuberculosis, you must take antibiotics for at least six to nine months.
    - The antibiotics may include:
    • Isoniazid
    • Rifampin (Rifadin, Rimactane)
    • Ethambutol (Myambutol)
