Do not underestimate Early Symptoms of TB

Handling of infectious tuberculosis or TB disease in Kulonprogo has not been maximized because the patient is generally too late to check yourself. Not only that, the patients also lack the self motivation to recover.

Delivered Tuberculosis Programme Officer Slamet Riyanto Kulonprogo Health Office on Wednesday (13 / 8) at Wates, Kulonprogi, inspection delays caused by the attitude of patients who tend to underestimate the initial symptoms of TB. In fact, if the symptoms of the disease is severe enough, such as cough with chest pain, patients also did not directly check into the health center.

"They're just looking for an alternative treatment with a massage or taking herbal method. It's actually very dangerous for the patient, because TB disease will be more severe, and likely will infect many people, "Slamet said when met at Wates, Wednesday (13 / 8).

Separately, the Institute for Prevention and Treatment Nurses Pulmonary Disease (BP4) Wates Triasih admit, there are many new patients with TB that the disease is severe enough. However, patients can be cured with intensive treatment and regular.

Slamet Kulonprogo also urged people not to hesitate to consult a health clinic when experiencing the symptoms of tuberculosis such as cough, fever, weight loss, and feeling restless. Almost all the clinics in Kulonprogo equipped with inspection tools and the whole process of sputum examination and treatment free of cost.

Based on the data held Kulonprogo Health Department, in 2007 there were 1985 suspected tuberculosis patients by the number of patients with acid-fast bacilli (AFB) positive reached 195 people, and the number of people died around four people. Whereas until the mid-year 2008, there were approximately 1005 patients with suspected tuberculosis, sputum smear positive about 66 people, and no one has died.

"If seen, the tendency is always stagnant number of TB patients every year. Whenever there are changes, it is not very significant compared to the previous time period. We are also still investigating the cause, "said Slamet.
