“…According to the Global Burden of Disease Tuberculosis Collaborators, there were 10.2 million and 10.1 million incident and prevalent TB cases in 2015, respectively, with 1.3 million deaths 2. Several interventions have been developed to eradicate TB, and the early identification of individuals at high-risk of TB is an essential component of TB control 3–5. Latent TB infection (LTBI) is a condition in which Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria survive in the host in a dormant state, and individuals with LTBI are both asymptomatic and non-infectious 5.…”

Background Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is a precursor of active tuberculosis diseases and an important issue in the United States and worldwide. The association between vitamin D deficiency and LTBI is poorly understood. Methods From 2011 to 2012, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) assessed LTBI (according to tuberculin skin testing and QuantiFERON ® -TB Gold In-Tube) and measured serum levels of vitamin D. We evaluated the association between LTBI and vitamin D using multivariate logistic regression models adjusted for known confounders. Results The LTBI group had a lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] level than the non-LTBI group ( p =0.0012). The adjusted risk of LTBI was significantly higher among participants with serum 25(OH)D levels <12 ng/ml (adjusted OR [aOR], 2.27; 95% CI, 1.40–3.66) and 12–19 ng/ml (aOR, 1.75; 95% CI, 1.25–2.46) compared to those with a level ≥30 ng/ml. The higher risk of LTBI among the participants with serum 25(OH)D levels <12 ng/ml and 12–19 ng/ml remained unchanged in both male and summer season subgroups. Conclusions A low serum 25(OH)D level was significantly associated with the risk of LTBI in this US cohort.

“…Individual-level approaches focusing on alcohol reduction in order to reduce the incidence of pneumonia and TB are relatively rare, whereas more studies focused on alcohol use reduction for preventing HIV transmission have been conducted. Within a systematic review of studies of interventions for reducing the incidence of TB, no studies that examined alcohol-reduction interventions for reducing the incidence of TB were found [188].…”

The body of knowledge on alcohol use and communicable diseases has been growing in recent years. Using a narrative review approach, this paper discusses alcohol’s role in the acquisition of and treatment outcomes from four different communicable diseases: these include three conditions included in comparative risk assessments to date—Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), and lower respiratory infections/pneumonia—as well as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) because of its recent and rapid ascension as a global health concern. Alcohol-attributable TB, HIV, and pneumonia combined were responsible for approximately 360,000 deaths and 13 million disability-adjusted life years lost (DALYs) in 2016, with alcohol-attributable TB deaths and DALYs predominating. There is strong evidence that alcohol is associated with increased incidence of and poorer treatment outcomes from HIV, TB, and pneumonia, via both behavioral and biological mechanisms. Preliminary studies suggest that heavy drinkers and those with alcohol use disorders are at increased risk of COVID-19 infection and severe illness. Aside from HIV research, limited research exists that can guide interventions for addressing alcohol-attributable TB and pneumonia or COVID-19. Implementation of effective individual-level interventions and alcohol control policies as a means of reducing the burden of communicable diseases is recommended.

“…As in the research in Jambi that carried out inspections of the health of the environment, the family of the patient feel cared for and carrying out the advice given officer (19). The patient's need for health services to encourage the effectiveness of the program increased health, because the role and participation of the patient to control the disease (30). Research in the Regency of Lumajang mention the success of the clinic of sanitary Primary Health Care of Gucialit not regardless of the alignment between the commitment officer, cooperation crossprogram, cross-sector and support infrastructure as well as adequate budget (15).…”

Introduction: One of the promotive and preventive efforts in the prevention of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) disease in primary health care is a health services environment that includes counseling, inspection and intervention of environmental health. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Environmental health services in the primary health care against the prevention of Pulmonary TB disease in Regency of Banyuwangi. Method: This research was observational descriptive design of study cross-ssectional. The study population was the primary health care in districy of Banyuwangi and a large sample of 6 primary health care. The determination of the study sample by using purposive sampling based on criteria of results Assessment of Performance of primary health care (PKP) services and programs environmental health in primary health cares and numbers Case Notification Rate (CNR) at the top of the East Java Province. Processing and analysis of data using a scoring system based on the scale of the theoretically grouped in the category of good, enough, less. The data is then interpreted descriptively. Result and Discussion: The Program of health service in the prevention of the disease is said to be effective when the probability of >50.00%. The results showed the probability of the effectiveness of the environmental health services in the Primary Health Care of Klatak of 77.00%. The Primary Health Care of Mojopanggung, Sobo, and Kabat respectively 78.80%, Primary Health Care of Gitik by 64.20% and the Primary Health Care of Songgon 49.50%. Human resources at the Primary Health Care of Songgon not competent. The Primary Health Care of Gitik and Songgon not planning activities. The achievement of the output in all the primary health care less, it is because of the lack of commitment of the implementers and the coordination of cross-program not running. Conclusion: There are 5 primary health cares service programs environmental health in the prevention of Pulmonary TB effective that the Primary Health Care of Klatak, Mojopangung, Sobo, Kabat and Gitik while at the Primary Health Care of Songgon is not effective. The effectiveness of services and programs environmental health in TB patients is influenced by policies, human resources, infrastructure, planning and coordination across the program.
