Metro Health is spearheading a testing and treatment campaign that began on Monday but could last for months to come.
TB is considered a lung disease that is caused by an airborne bacteria that lodges in the lung. It’s not as contagious as COVID, but those who come into contact with an active case need to be tested.
UT Health San Antonio and University Health are part of research and treatment efforts that will likely be employed during this period, and there’s good news for those who will need treatment. For example, right now UT Health San Antonio is studying a new regimen that instead of one pill every day for six months to treat latent tuberculosis, it’s only one pill every six weeks. It’s a shorter treatment with a higher effective rate.
