XDR is the most dangerous form of TB... know the reason…
XDR tv is considered the most dangerous in tb disease. There is no testing facility in the district to identify it. While 13 tb patients have been found in the last 2 months. If a tb patient is suffering from XDR, then he can also infect others with this dangerous form of tb, in such a situation, non-identification of patients is extremely dangerous. The people around are also at risk from this.
A large-scale campaign is being run for the prevention of tb disease and a TB-free India. But Kannauj does not have the facility to test for the most dangerous variant of tb, XDR TB. The patient of this tb proves to be the most fatal, he can also make others suffer from this disease. In such a situation, the absence of its testing facility in the district is tantamount to inviting a big problem.
What is MDR and XDR?
There are two variants of tb disease, in which the most severe form of multi-drug resistant (MDR) tb is known as extensively drug resistant (XDR) TB. This tb is largely drug resistant. Most of the medicines have no effect on it. This level of tb is very dangerous for the patients. Many people around the world have lost their lives because of this.
