Drug-resistant TB spreading quickly


This is alarming and yet the Red Star does leaves the connection to Mexico and illegal aliens out.
Tho they do say this on the side bar.

LOCAL ANGLE
Pima County sees 20 to 40 cases of active, classic TB every year.
There was one case of drug-resistant TB last year, county health officials said.

Not a word about Mexico and the illegal alien invaders who for the most part are ultra poor or criminals, both a class of people at great risk to TB and the new deadly drug resistant form.

Clearly The Arizona Daily Star is putting their Democrat pro illegal alien agenda ahead of your children's safety and health.

How many of the thousands of illegal aliens sneaking into and through Arizona every day are infected with disease?

What you are not told.

A drug-resistant strain of tuberculosis from Mexico is worrying U.S. health officials.



Many Mexicans are using potent, readily available drugs such as telithromycin to treat TB, but they are not meant for the disease. That fact, along with short-term and inconsistent medicine use creates a drug-resistant variety of the life-threatening illness that could spread, the Brownsville Herald reported.

"In my opinion, the growth of this (drug resistance) could be considered an epidemic situation," said Eduardo Olivarez, chief administrative officer for the Hidalgo County, Texas, Health Department.

Tuberculosis, a potentially fatal bacterial disease usually affecting the lungs, poses a great public health risk because it is spread through coughing or sneezing.

Incidents of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, or MDR TB, still comprise a small portion of cases in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas near the Mexican border, but officials have noted an increase.

      Illegal aliens present a special danger in that they intentionally evade any attempt at screening diseased immigrants. I, for one, do not care to be senselessly exposed to Third World diseases which are difficult or impossible to treat with existing drugs. In addition to TB, there's the drug-resistent version of the staph bug to worry about which can cause everything from rotting flesh to fatal lung infections. If you want a good scare, just google "MRS".

      Apologetically editing my previous post to say I meant to google "MRSA". Sorry about that.
