World TB Day

AIIMS nurse Divya Sojal contracted drug-resistant TB on the job. Today, after multiple injections and 22 tablets a day, she is back with her patients.

“Today I take food as medicine and appeal to my colleagues in the medical fraternity not to skip meals either,” she says. She learnt to manage her life beyond therapy, choosing morning hours to work at the clinic and attending classes in the afternoon as she was determined to complete her studies. She got married in 2017 and was seeking better opportunities abroad in 2019 when a routine X-ray showed consolidation on the upper and left part of her lungs. Her weight had dropped to 48 kg and her parents were too frail to tend to her needs. She had moderate pleural effusion and a month-long hospitalisation meant removing the fluid with a needle from the pleural space at least five to six times. In 2016, after completing her training, she got a job as a nursing officer at AIIMS. During the pandemic, she got infected with Covid but had mild symptoms. She even proceeded to get a master’s course in neuroscience nursing because she wanted to look after complex patients at the neurological ICU. “I was under the care of former AIIMS director, Dr Randeep Guleria, and since I was staying in the hostel, found huge emotional support among my friends. She had a relapse and this necessitated a second round of treatment, which also included Streptomycin injections daily for three months. Thirty-five-year-old Divya Sojal, a nurse from Kerala’s Pathanamthitta district, has battled tuberculosis (TB) thrice but she continues taking care of her patients from whom she contracted the potentially life-threatening disease. I was taking as many as 22 tablets everyday apart from a series of injections.

To date, more than 5000 molecular test platforms have been deployed across the Region to rapidly detect TB and drug resistance. Preliminary data shared with WHO shows strong recovery in TB case notifications in most countries of the Region. The COVID-19 crisis has exacerbated key social and economic determinants of TB such as poverty and undernutrition, pushing tens of millions more people in the Region into extreme poverty. It is estimated that across the Region, the overall impact of the crisis could lead to over 7 million additional TB cases and 1.5 million additional TB deaths between 2022 and 2026. In 2021, the Region achieved a partial recovery, reporting 3 million new and relapsed cases, still 12% fewer than in 2019.

Political commitment at the highest level is needed if TB is to be eradicated. However, in the 1980s and 1990s drug-resistant TB strains emerged to challenge the TB treatment.

ध्यान रखने वाली बात है कि टीबी ड्रॉपलेट न्यूक्लियर से भी फैलती है, यानि कि अगर किसी मरीज ने खांसा या छींका है, कई दिन हो गए हैं और ड्रॉपलेट सूख गई है या आसपास की ये हवा में फैल गई है तो भी अन्य लोगों को टीबी का संक्रमण हो सकता है. कम से कम 6 महीने और अधिक से अधिक डेढ़ से दो साल के अंदर टीबी का ट्रीटमेंट हो सकता है. ऐसे में टीबी को जड़ से मिटाने के लिए जरूरी है कि टीबी की जल्दी से जल्दी जांच जरूर हो. उर्वशी बी सिंह कहती हैं कि टीबी की बीमारी कोई हौव्वा नहीं है. खास बात है कि ये लोग टीबी होने के दो हफ्ते के भीतर भी संक्रमित हो सकते हैं और और अगर इलाज शुरू न किया जाए तो साल भर तक भी हो सकते हैं. ऐसे में मरीज का जीवन सामान्य रहता है लेकिन अगर टीबी का पता लेट चलता है तो घातक हो सकती है. उसके छींकने खासंने से निकली ड्रॉपलेट्स या एयरोसोल से अन्य लोगों को टीबी का इन्फेक्शन होने की संभावना लगभग न के बराकर होती है. यह फेफड़ों वाली टीबी के मरीज के खांसने, छींकने से निकलीं ड्रॉपलेट या एयरोसोल्स से अन्य मरीजों तक जाती है. जल्दी टीबी का पता चलने की सबसे खास बात यही है. यही वजह है कि टीबी के लक्षण (TB Symptoms) हल्का बुखार, दो हफ्ते से ज्यादा खांसी (Cough), बलगम, थकान आदि दिखाई देने के बावजूद लोग टीबी की जांच कराने से डरते हैं और डॉक्टर के पास जाना टालते रहते हैं लेकिन आपको बता दें कि टीबी की जल्दी से जल्दी जांच (TB Test) होना बेहद जरूरी है. जितनी जल्दी जांच में आपकी टीबी डायग्नोस हो जाएगी, ये दुखी नहीं खुश होने की बात है क्योंकि उसके कई बड़े फायदे आपको और आपके सगे-संबंधियों को मिलेंगे. उर्वशी बी सिंह कहती हैं कि टीबी को लेकर लोगों में एक डर मौजूद है.

Reportedly, several generic drug makers are set to start making copy-cat versions of the drug which was set to lose patent in July. This has been observed in our program, where the curve flattened and reduced over 2-3 years, leading to a decrease in TB incidence. The government is also working towards addressing the issue of drug-resistant tuberculosis that remains a major problem in India. While active case finding initially increases TB incidence, it eventually leads to a reduction in the number of TB cases. The prevalence and existence of TB have been the same for many years, and they remain unchanged. According to WHO, India along with Indonesia, Myanmar and the Philippines accounted for most of the estimated increase in TB deaths globally. According to the 2022 report on Tuberculosis by the World Health Organisation (WHO), In 2020, 87% of new TB cases occurred in the 30 high TB burden countries. Overpopulation is also another factor that is responsible for the rise in numbers, especially in cities like Delhi as it makes transmission of the virus very easy, he said.
