Because you can't just decide that you want rid of a disease and go out and kill it. If someone is infected, they may not know it, they may spread it, and you cant just round every infected person up and put them in camps and kill them, its inhumane.
2 :
BECAUSE THERES RETARDS OUT THERE THAT LIKE TO 'SELF TREAT' AND END UP SPREADING IT TO EVERYONE ELSE. OHHH LEMME TAKE THESE 35325252 HERBS AND POOF! IM CURED. MORONS. JUST LIKE THE IDIOTS WHO DONT VACCINATE THEIR KIDS

By the time the doctors have found the fluid in your lungs, it become hard to flush out the toxins. The lung's air sacs would have been filled with so much fluid that it'd be impossible to drain it.
2 :
The bacteria do not grow well in laboratory conditions, it often takes several weeks for colonies to show on lab media (petri dish with agar). Unless serious decontamination procedures are done and specialized agar is used, the normal flora of the sputum sample will completely overgrow the mycobacteria. These processes are time consuming and expensive, and require costly equipment to prevent those working on the cultures from catching the disease themselves

Be clean. Wash your hands. And when you go to the store make sure you keep germ x with you so you can clean up after wards. And eat yogurt to help your immune system. Like I think it is yoplait or danactive that helps.

Hey there, someone just asked a very similair question so don't mind if I copy my answer to him onto yours, I think it applies to both of you. I understand and you have every right to be scared because you are an 'at risk' group. But there is no point in wondering if you are going to catch it. One might even go as far by saying that anxiety lowers the immune system even more and you would be increasing your chance on catching swine flue by worrying about it. It sounds far fetched, doesn't it? If you avoid people with flue symptoms, which I'm sure you do as you have auto immune illness, you can rest assure the flue is not just going to sneak up on you and take over. I believe that right now, the chances of catching swine flue if you take the precautions you already take because of your health issue are just as big as getting hit by I car if you decide to make a long walk today where you need to cross streets at some point. Stay positive, don't let the media scare you. The media is starting to loose interest in talking about the American presidency and the world wide recession and have switched over to swine flue and the early death of Micheal Jackson. If Micheal Jackson didn't die and he wouldn't be taking so might news time, swine flue would have been talked about even more. That's how the media works. Happy stories don't sell. Don't let one virus that is spoken of much right now put you down. There will be a solution at some point. Just keep yourself healthy as you can and stay happy.

Yes you want to start at your immune system. One way to do that is taking an optimal amount of vitamins and minerals. You won't be able to get enough from eating since you already have a weak immune system. You need to find a high quality multivitamin and take extra Vitamin C. Stay away from stress, junk and fast food and toxin chemicals. I strongly recommend Usana Health Science multivitamins because they are truely the best and very affordable. They are at pharmaceutical grade listed in the Physician Desk Reference (PDR). Don't take my word for it and do your research. I can tell you what they have that can help you boost your immune system if you want more info. Good Luck

Does this child have active tuberculosis
Does this child have active tuberculosis?
A child presents symptoms suggestive of tuberculosis, namely a respiratory infection with a productive cough. Microscope examination of the child's sputum reveals no acid fast rods. However, examination of gastric washings reveals the presences of both acid fast and non-acid fast bacilli.

If you test positive for TB, yeah, you will be disqualified. That is HIGHLY contagious and dangerous.
2 :
You will be screened further. If there is no sign of active or prior disease on chest x-ray or sputum test, it merely indicates that you were exposed to TB. Exposure does not disqualify you.
3 :
If you tested pos on the initial skin scratch test. That just means you may have been exposed or just sensitive to that test, Not that you have the disease. It is the cheapest and first one given. They will then do a different test, where they inject a test under the skin of your forearm. If the second test is negative, you are good to go. They will note in your medical records and shot records that all future test will be the second type. You will get tested often in the future
