7 273 A Survey on Tuberculosis: Recall the Past, Gauge the Present, and Look into the Future Chun-Yu Lai Section of Pulmonary Diseases, Department of Internal Medicine, Shin Kong Wu Ho-Su Memorial Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan Historically, tuberculosis is an important disease that continues to affect large populations in spite of having identified the causative pathogen, discovering antituberculosis drugs, and developing new diagnostic tools. Increasing acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) -associated tuberculosis and resistance to multiple anti-tuberculosis drugs have aggravated the scenario. As is known, Mycobacterium tuberculosis causes air-borne infections. BCG decreases the rate of progression to lethal tuberculosis but prevents all infections. The most effective strategy to decrease the prevalence of tuberculosis and cure the infected patients is to quarantine the latter. Accurate diagnosis of active tuberculosis depends on correct sputum collection, acid-fast stain, and culture accompanied by imaging. Unfortunately, increasing prevalence of non-tuberculosis mycobacteria confounds clinical judgment. Moreover, curing patients with tuberculosis is challenging owing to the number of medications that need to be taken for a long duration, and the frequent adverse effects caused by these medications. Directly Observed Treatment Short (DOTS) is effective in improving drug compliance of the patient and decreasing the development of drug resistance. However, it is important to bear in mind that preventive measures are also necessary. Seeking, elucidating, and curing the latent form of tuberculosis will be the next step to eradicating the disease. Key words: Tuberculosis
