MDRTB: A Resisting Virus to Fight

Have you heard about MDRTB? I know for sure most of you are not really familiar about it like me when we first heard about it. It was really unrecognizable term for us. I even ask myself twice if I heard it right.

Yes, I did. MDRTB stands for Multi-drug Resistant TB. It means that anyone who is diagnosed with it, the virus has evolved and has started to resist Rifampicin and other basic drugs for the disease. It diagnosed when TB has relapse, done with other test like sputum culture and x-ray.

Here in the Philippines, it is very common but is not understood by the community itself. Most people refuse to understand these situation rather they think of it as a scourge or epidemic without even doing some prevention. Why did I say these? Observe some people who coughs roughly without even covering their mouths? Others have even don't bother at all. See?

Beware and Be Aware: Primary Complex Are Everywhere

Strolling around somewhere were fun is satisfied, that’s where most people go. Without being aware of the chances of getting virus around in which our naked eyes cannot see. We bring our children to places where others are also enjoying the same thing we wanted ourselves to relish at the same time. Virus that cause primary complex to our children are everywhere.

Malls, markets and groceries, churches and other places where most people go are much exposed to exchange bacteria and viruses from one person to another without giving them any harm at all.

We are aware of that but most don’t beware themselves with it. They might take it for granted for the reason of paranoia. But when viruses and other bacteria had gotten their bodies, that’s when they are conscious with the situation.

This year, my youngest daughter, 1 and a half year-old, had been attacked by the virus since March. For the previous year, she had cough and runny nose almost every month. The doctor had suspected a primary complex for the reason that she had an exposure with her father. The test is given: PPD and x-ray. Everything turned into positive.
