每当你走在人群之中,请想一想以下数据:
你身边的人群中可能有三分之一感染了结核病(TB),其中有百分之十可能发病,而这些人又可能感染其他人。
在3月24日世界防治结核病日(World Tuberculosis Day),世界各地的医卫组织都将阐明必须改善对结合病的诊断和治疗。由1300个医卫组织、研究机构和政府部门组成的国际联盟“防治结核病组织”(StopTB.org)提倡“达及、治疗并治愈每个患者”,这项策略旨在提高感染了广泛传播的结核病病毒的人群的诊断率、医治率和治愈率。
患者未能及时得到诊治的一个常见原因是,咳嗽、发烧和体重减轻等症状往往连续几个月都不明显。患者因而没有及时就医,并将病毒传染给其他人。

结核病自古以来一直存在,但“防治结核病组织”报告了为消除这个疾病而取得的进展。从1990年到2013年,数千万患者接受治疗后痊愈,结核病死亡率也下降了45%。[请见国际卫生组织的英文报告]
“防治结核病组织”制定了一项新计划,继续推动这一进展并到2035年遏制结核病疫情。
这个组织在100多个国家展开工作,并得到了设在美国的一些机构的支持,其中包括疾病控制和预防中心(Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention)、美国国际发展署(U.S. Agency for International
Development)、美国空军(U.S. Air Force)、天主教救济会(Catholic Relief
Services)和国际儿童组织(Children International)等。
