lung & lymph node. The lung contains multiple coalescing foci of caseous necrosis surrounded by thin pale fibrous tissue capsules (tubercles). Most of the lymph node is replaced by caseonecrotic debris with a laminated appearance reminiscent of caseous lymphadenitis caused by Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis.

in the early 1900's, doctor JN McDowell, thought he had the cure for tuberculosis. he thought the consistent 54 degree temperature was the trick. he brought dozens of wealthy TB sufferers here, this building was thought to be the doctors office...all about a mile deep in the cave. tours persisted throughout the experiment, since they didn't realize TB was air-born and contagious...many tour-goers also contracted the disease. eventually, after about a year, all the people in the experiment, including the doctor and several guides died of TB.
Twenty-eight-year-old Muhibullah is a tuberculosis (TB) survivor who has become a health worker after being cured of the illness. He has made it his mission to help other patients, and raise awareness among his community about the disease.
Muhibulah stayed in the hospital for the next six months and continued his treatment course until he was cured.
After that, he stayed on at the hospital, not as an under-treatment patient, but as a health worker, helping others.
Muhibullah is now an active member of the TB association and participates in TB intervention programs, raising awareness about the risks of the disease among communities. He earns 8,000 AFN per month.
“I get a very good feeling when I help others because I know what they have been through."
Although tuberculosis is still prevalent in some communities in Afghanistan, it is particularly widespread among internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees returning from neighboring countries, where there are three times as many TB cases than in the general population. What is more, access to TB control services is very limited in these settings, due to high mobility, poverty, and low awareness.
The continued deteriorating security situation in the country has resulted in displacement of an estimated 1.2 million people in need of urgent humanitarian assistance including healthcare. In addition, more than 610,000 Afghan returnees from Pakistan, Iran and other countries were repatriated in 2017 further exasperating the situation. Both of these vulnerable populations represent Key Affected Populations (KAP) for TB control as well as general health service delivery.
To respond to this, the UNDP-managed Global Fund programme, in close coordination with the Ministry of Public Health, implements projects to detect TB cases in the Afghan population, so they can receive the proper treatment. These programmes also aim to protect the rest of the population who are at risk of infection due to poor health and lack of
Back in March of this year, CEA Myanmar completed the delivery and installation of five portable digital X-Ray machines. These machines are helping in the early detection of tuberculosis and are vital to remote communities throughout Myanmar. Sittwe, the capital of the Rakhine State has many refugee camps and a local prison which have seen an increased rate of early detection due to the new equipment and trained operators, resulting in many lives being saved.
Now six months on CEA Myanmar in conjunction with UNOPS – 3MDG, and American Procurement Service (APSCO) are continuing to support the fight against the disease in Myanmar. A further six digital X-Ray units were recently imported by CEA to be put into service in five different states throughout Myanmar and the capital Nay Pyi Taw. For all six installation locations, CEA Myanmar provided Customs Clearance, Transportation, Installation and operator training for the doctors and radiographers.
Myanmar is currently in the height of the rain season causing the roads, bridges, and highways to be frequently flooded, however, such is CEA’s experience in these conditions that all delays and detours were kept to a minimum resulting in the efficient transportation of all six X-Ray machines. The mobility of each machine is particularly advantageous enabling the teams to travel daily to surrounding townships across a greater area to detect, treat and follow-up on TB cases in the most remote areas of Myanmar.
Once again CEA Myanmar is immensely proud to be involved in such a worthwhile project that will result in the improved health of the people of Myanmar.

The central region of Portugal was and still is famous for his spa resorts while dozens of health-resorts or better, sanatoriums were founded around 1920 to treat tuberculosis patients. Founder of 19(!) resorts in and around Caramulo was Dr. Jerónimo Lacerda. Most resorts closed around 1978 due to better medical treatment methods and improved general health conditions in the country.

Fabrica working on machamba.I am 43 years old, from Zambezia, and a primary school teacher. In 1990 I came to Chimoio, accompanying my wife who was sick with tuberculosis. In that year my two-year-old son died, probably from the infection..When I was in Quelimane I was a blood donor. In 1994 in Chimoio I was told at the blood bank not to give any more blood. But they didn't tell me why.. In 1997 I went to the counselling office . I had a test to find out my status and I was told that I was a carrier. I was shocked by this death notice, but I saw that following medical advice and protection, and taking basic care I could look after my health.. My wife was shocked, but I took her for counselling and we have stayed in touch with the counsellor. I told my children so that there would be no shock when I died. I've been planning my life with my wife. We've devoted ourselves to growing food on our piece of land. I would like to study law. I would also like my children to study so that they can sort out their lives. My mission is to give counselling, I've done a course in Maputo, and I want to help the people in the counselling office.. I used to drink a lot. Then I cut down to protect my health. I also spoke to my friends, asking them not to tempt me with drinks..I speak a lot about prevention with friends, because there is no cure. We hope to stay alive for as long as possible. I am proof that AIDS exists. I want to show my face so that other people can help me, so they feel encouraged and free to speak, and in this way people can care for me..In order to avoid people talking about me, it's better if I speak first. People call me poor thing, but I'm not a poor thing. I know about my situation, I have medical help, I look after my health, so they are the poor ones, those who are unaware. I feel that I have to work for others.

Portugal, Lisboa, Campo dos Mártires da Pátria. Heaps of marble plaques as a token gratitude in front of the statue of Dr. Sousa Martins (1843-1897) who specialised in the treatment of tuberculosis. His work was entirely on a secular basis, but he was noted in his life for the care he gave to the poor. In 1897, realising that he has contracted tuberculosis himself and could only expect a painful death, he committed suicide. This statue has become the centre of a quasi-religious cult in which the spirit Dr Sousa Matins is believed able to assist in cures.

This image shows an individual suffering from Pulmonary Tuberculosis, being treated with a partial artificial pneumothorax of the left lung (collapse of the lung). This can be seen by the extremely clear condition of the lower left lung as only air is present.
Infiltration of the tuberculosis infection can also be seen in the right lung, mostly in the mid-zone with some evidence of calcification.
The image is part of a larger collection of radiographs held by Northumberland Archives being digitised as part of the Stannington Sanatorium Project.
