Vietnamese tuberculosis

 * Tuberculosis is the world’s second deadliest disease because it is easily transmitted through the air. Most developing countries lack treatment because of decentralization of medical care or insufficient education and awareness of preventative care. Countries like Vietnam are successful at treating tuberculosis but often lack sufficient training for prevention of the disease. This is important information for my research because it discusses the cause of tuberculosis and why it affects developing countries such as Vietnam.

 * Article Evaluation
 * This article discusses how strengthening the health care system and targeting tuberculosis through a community based solution provides benefits to reduce mortality and economic consequences due to preventative care. Screenings however, can also cause harm because it increases the risk of false positive diagnosis. The campaign for case findings, social determinants, and medical intervention are crucial to combating tuberculosis. It is good research because it discusses how different communities and governments are working to eradicate tuberculosis.

 * Directly observed treatment, short-course
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article uses the "three I's" to incorporate intensified, isoniazid, infection controls to document how to combat tuberculosis in parts of the Asia Pacific region. It monitors and evaluates case coordination and patient follow up which is important in order to ensure there is a preventative system to mobilize resources. It also discusses how NGO's such as the one I hope to go to is providing TB screening and the DOTS treatment (directly observed, short course treatment).
