Kansas battles 'unprecedented' tuberculosis outbreak​

Summarize

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (TNND) —
Health officials in Kansas said they have been dealing with an "unprecedented" tuberculosis (TB) outbreak in the northeastern part of the state.
Online data from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) shows there are 60 active cases of tuberculosis in Wyandotte County, as well as seven other cases reported in nearby Johnson County.
Cases first popping up in the summertime, the KDHE said.

"One of our biggest goals is to get this TB outbreak to an end," KDHE Deputy Secretary for Public Health Ashley Goss said Tuesday during an hour-long agency overview before the state's Senate Committee on Public Health and Welfare.

Goss also said the KDHE has mobilized staff and resources addressing the outbreak. She said the agency is following the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to ensure patients are receiving proper treatment and to prevent additional cases from occurring.

"The CDC remains on the ground with us for support," she said. "That's not a negative. This is normal when there's something unprecedented or a large outbreak of any kind, they will lend resources to us to help get a stop to that. We are trending in the right direction right now. More to come on that. Hopefully, we can get it wound down quickly."

Most TB cases in Kansas have been in Wyandotte County, according to KDHE. The agency said there is a "very low risk to the general public, including the surrounding counties."
The number of U.S. tuberculosis cases in 2023 were the highest in a decade, according to a report released by the CDC on March 28, 2024.
The CDC said TB is a disease caused by a bacterium -- or germ -- called Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is spread from person to person through the air. Symptoms include coughing, chest pain, and coughing up blood.
While TB typically impacts the lungs, is can also affect the brain, the kidneys, or the spine. It can also affect multiple parts of the body at the same time, the CDC said.
"For example, TB can affect both the lungs and lymph nodes," according to the CDC. "Not everyone infected with TB germs becomes sick. As a result, two TB-related conditions exist: inactive TB (or latent TB infection) and active TB disease. If not treated properly, TB disease can be fatal."

During the civil war, Lincoln let smallpox ravish our people in Louisiana as the slavers ran to Arkansas.

TB is an airborne disease. Do you remember Typhoid Mary?

So last week they cut the HIV program. You don’t really die from AIDS, you die from opportunistic diseases. This is just another government program to rid itself of black people.

That is 70 people too many for tuberculosis and they are undercounting it. I reported the story yesterday. And the CDC because of Trump is keeping quiet about this if you combine this with Bird flu half of the country would drop dead overnight

Problem is you have to do contract tracing and get all the people that these 70 were in contact with tested and treated.

You have a small gathering at the crib and all these people and all the people those people…..

What they need to do is contact the NYC DOH as quickly as possible for strategy…the cases can multiply exponentially.

When I worked for TB in NYC we had way more than 70 infected people…don’t know what they talkinbout.

Usually people take the drugs til they stop coughing and you get this drug resistant strains then…….LAWD!!!!

Carry on……

Basically, if you believe them that 70 they know of, I’m pretty sure it’s more out there. Boy as they used to say God do not like ugly when Trump leaves the White House. A lot of people is going to be dead and mainly his supporters.

Sir, the last 20 to 15 years, I have noticed things getting worse, especially with the environment. I was a climate changed denial in the 90s, but my whole attitude changed towards that in the 2000s because I’m seeing things with my own eyes. Al Gore was 110% correct the sad thing about what Al Gore said is a lot of the stuff that’s going on now didn’t supposed to happen until 2100.

 

[Maweriman]

Get ready for more headlines like this with that stupid Trump appointing an anti-vaxxer -- Robert Kennedy -- as Health Sec. Hopefully -- the Senate will reject this nut!

No sir, I’m not going to argue about this all night. You see what your own eyes will happen during tornado season hurricane season in the United States. Don’t even get me started with the rest of the world. Me and you are going to have to agree to disagree because I’m not going back-and-forth with you on this subject. I used to be just like you in the 90s, but my views have changed by looking at the disasters that has happened to daily across the world.

What, sir, you are cross reference events that doesn’t coincide with the discussion we are having. The dinosaurs got fucked up because a meteorite hit earth and created that ice age. Earth according to scientists, earth had three or four mass extinctions. We are overdue for one anyways.
