Transmission Tuberculosis is a contagious, airborne bacterial infection. It is NOT considered a waterborne disease. A patient with pulmonary tuberculosis can spread bacilli when exhaling, coughing, sneezing, talking or spitting. Infection occurs when these bacilli are inhaled by a susceptible human. Waterborne bacterial disease do include such as: Bacterial infections Botulism - Clostridium botulinum bacteria - gastro-intestinal food/water borne; can grow in food Campylobacteriosis Cholera - Vibrio cholerae bacteria - gastro-intestinal often waterborne Chronic granulomatous disease - caused by the Mycobacterium marinum infection and localized in skin, frequently occurred with aquarium keepers.[3] Diarrheal disease due to E. coli. Dysentery - Shigella/Salmonella bacteria - gastro-intestinal food/water Legionellosis - cause Pontiac fever and Legionnaires' disease Leptospirosis- Otitis externa- "Swimmer's Ear" Typhoid - Salmonella typhi bacteria - gastro-intestinal water/food borne. Salmonellosis - due to many Salmonella species. Water/food/direct contact borne. Vibrio illness caused by the bacteria of Vibrio vulnificus, Vibrio alginolyticus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus commonly found in seafood and recreational water.[4] Enough ? In Afghanistan, tuberculosis is a major public health burden. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) Global TB Report 2006, Afghanistan ranks 17th among the 22 high-burden TB countries worldwide. Approximately 95,000 new TB cases occur annually in Afghanistan, and 26,000 people in the country die from TB every year. The TB situation in Afghanistan is different from most other countries in that it primarily affects women. In 1997, Afghanistan's National TB Control Program (NTP) adopted Directly Observed Therapy, Short-Course (DOTS). By the end of 2002, the country reported 38 percent DOTS coverage. However, TB services were predominantly provided by a patchwork of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and government health facilities, with little regional coordination or support. DOTS detection rates remain low at 19 percent, far from the WHO global targets of 70 percent case detection. However, treatment success among the cases detected are high (86 percent), achieving the WHO global targets
