Inhalation of
droplets

What are the symptoms of PT?
Cough > 2 weeks

India Accounts for Nearly One
Third of the Global TB Burden


India has more cases of
tuberculosis than any
other country in the world
& twice as many cases
as China
Although exact and
current information on TB
incidence and prevalence
is not available, studies
show an incidence rate of
more than 200 per lakh,
among the highest in the
world

> 40% of country’s population is infected
2 million new cases each year
450,000 deaths each year
> 5,000 people develop TB every day
> 1,000 people die every day
TB kills more women than all causes of
maternal mortality put together
All this despite TB being nearly 100% curable
TB is the leading single infectious
cause of death in India

1950s-60s: Important TB research(TRC/NTI)
1962: National TB Programme
1992: Programme Review- only a third of patients
diagnosed and only a third of those treated
successfully
1993: DOTS pilots (RNTCP)
1998: DOTS scale-up begins
2000: > 30% of country covered by DOTS
Beginning of 2002: almost 50% of country covered
by DOTS (460 million population)
2006 – Whole India covered by DOTS

1.To achieve 85 % Cure Rate
2. To diagnose 70 % of
estimated new Sp. Sm. Pos.
cases after achieving the
above.

TB Register
How TB is diagnosed ?
By the examination of
Sputum for AFB
X-ray examination
What is the specific method for the
diagnosis of PT?
Advantages of Sputum
Microscopy
Simple
Less expensive
More reliable
Rapid
Take Home Messages
1. Anybody who is having Cough for more than 3
weeks with or without other symptoms should get
their sputum examined at the nearest Health
Facility
2. TB Diagnosis and treatment are available free of
cost in all the govt. hospitals
