I'm glad to complete a course on 'Anti-microbial resistance and infection prevention and control' offered by the World Health Organization (WHO) Health Emergencies Programme. The course enlightened me on various aspects of the global burden of antimicrobial resistance, Global Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System(GLASS), different types of AMR, types of bacteria that cause greater threat to the health of patients as well as a burden on health care costs, how the resistance occurs and the major factors contributing to it. AMR can cause a marked increase in the morbidity and mortality rate of patients, resulting in longer hospital stays thereby placing a greater burden on facilities and health care systems. It's high time to check on the prescription and avoid unnecessary use of antibiotics for the welfare of the public. #worldhealthorganization #antimicrobialresistance #healthcare

We have recently seen two nearly identical cases of "Airplane Thrush", a pulmonary infection apparently of Mycotic (fungal) origin. While the symptoms are very similar, the only commonality among these two persons is recent international plane travel. Our group is soliciting information regarding the possibility that there are other cases related to air/international travel that have not yet been linked to travel. The symptoms are a deep, nagging cough, low grade fever, and a long duration of malaise leading to bed rest and in one case hospitalization because of difficulty in breathing. Apparently both cases were of Mycotic origin. Both of these unrelated individuals were compromised for more than a month. If you know of other cases, please respond. Identification of a growing pathogenic disease before it becomes widespread would be paramount in curbing the spread. Thanks, J Tim Rainey, DDS jtimrainey@tiads.com

Seek medical attention if one has symptoms like prolonged cough, fever and unexplained weight loss as early treatment for Tuberculosis can help stop the spread of disease and improve your chances of recovery. One must get tested for TB infection if one is at increased risk, such as if one is in contact with people who has TB in ones household or workplace. If prescribed treatment to prevent TB, complete the full course. If one has TB, one must practice good hygiene when coughing, including avoiding contact with other people and wearing a mask, covering your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, and disposing of sputum and used tissues properly. Special measures like respirators and ventilation are important to reduce infection in healthcare and other institutions. #TBMuktBharat #TBHaregaDeshJeetega Source: who.int/news-room/fact…
