Pulmonary Tuberculosis

• Highly communicable (aerosolization) airborne Acid Fast Bacillus 
• Exudative response causes pneumonitis
• Bacilli multiplication usually controlled: walled off in tissues (collagen fibrosis) > necrotic tissue > lesion > calcifies or liquefies and spreads > cavity
• Immunosuppression allows spread and may also create FALSE negative PPD
• S/SX: fatigue, lethargy, loss of appetite, nausea, fever with night sweats, productive cough with mucopurulent sputum

WHAT TO DO?

• PUT THEM IN ISOLATION
• Private room, with doors and windows closed
• Negative air flow in the room
• N95 mask for the nurses and everyone who enters the room
• A mask for the patient whenever they leave the room
• Remain in isolation until 3 AFB sputum tests come back negative. 

NCLEX HINT: they like to test on RIFAMPIN.. and how it turns your urine orange.

_{Settling in to be another clear night and pretty evening here in Night Vale. I hope all of you out there have someone to sleep through it with. Or, at least, good memories of when you did.}

_{Goodnight, listeners. Goodnight.}

"Realizing that what Mr. Shatner did was so unique […] was very liberating because I knew that if anything I had to run in the opposite direction to make any mark of my own on the part. And that’s not to say there wasn’t a conversation early on about I might be able to use little nuances from his performances to use on my own." (Chris Pine)
