[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 3806602, member: 18222"] I agree that there is a higher incidence in 3rd world countries just as there is in poor people within the USA. First place, TB is pretty hard to catch for the average person. People in America not exposed to aliens still get TB. TB makes in-roads during cold and wet weather. We all live in air-conditioned/heated houses where the problem is too dry air. My father caught TB in 1930 but lived thorough it ... he was sent to a Colorado TB Sanatorium. 4 people in my schools while I was growing up caught TB. People in poor health, run-down health, weak health wise are more susceptible to it. People in poorly or unheated homes are more susceptible. [SIZE=4][B]People at high risk for Tuberculosis (TB) exposure and infection include:[/B][/SIZE] [LIST] [*]Close contacts of persons exposed to contagious cases of TB [*]Foreign-born persons, including children, who have immigrated within the last 5 years from areas that have a high TB incidence [*]Residents and employees of high-risk congregate settings (prisons, nursing homes, homeless shelters, drug treatment facilities, and healthcare facilities) [*][URL='http://www.health.ri.gov/diseases/tuberculosis/for/healthcareworkers/']Healthcare workers[/URL] who serve high-risk clients [*]Some medically under served, low-income populations as defined locally [*]High-risk racial or ethnic minority populations defined locally as having an increased prevalence of TB [*]Infants, children, and adolescents exposed to adults in high-risk categories [*]Persons who inject illicit drugs or any other locally identified high-risk substance users [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
