Abstract:
Background: The medical interns usually are the first contact health care providers for patients in teaching hospitals and need to be sensitized towards newer diagnostic and treatment guidelines of various national health programmes. Revised National TB Control Programme is one such health programme which aims to reduce TB burden in our country. The present study was undertaken with an objective to assess knowledge level of medical interns, about recent guidelines of RNTCP pertaining to diagnosis and management of TB, including MDR and XDR-TB.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted at o

Abstract:
In revised national tuberculosis control program (RNTCP), microscopic examination of sputum for AFB plays an important role in the initial diagnosis of tuberculosis. Decontamination and liquefaction with by 5% sodium hypochlorite increases sensitivity and safety for handling specimen. In this prospective hospital based cross sectional analytical study, patients of all ages and either sex coming to RNTCP centre were included according to RNTCP criteria. From each patient, two samples of sputum were collected one spot and one morning. One set of smears was prepared by RNTCP guidelines and remain

India has been engaged in Tuberculosis control activities for more than 50 years as India is the highest TB burdened country in the world. One such initiative is Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme (RNTCP) which has been rechristened as National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme (NTEP). The change in name is in line with the larger goal of eliminating the disease by 2025. Objective: The aim of this cross-sectional study is to assess the knowledge and awareness of interns regarding the management of tuberculosis as per recent RNTCP guidelines.

Introduction: In addition to their role in the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis, medical colleges are involved in imparting knowledge and skills to the future generation of medical doctors. In order that RNTCP runs smoothly, it is important that all clinical departments are involved in RNTCP and manage their TB patients according to their guidelines. Objectives: To assess the attendance of TB cases at the clinical departments of a medical college and the categorizing practices of these departments reflecting their involvement in RNTCP.

Abstract:
<strong>Introduction:&nbsp;</strong>Tuberculosis (TB) notification is defined as the process of reporting diagnosed TB cases to relevant health authorities, whom in turn report them to the World Health Organization (WHO) through National TB Programmes (NTPs). While TB cases detected in the public sector health facilities generally get notified, a large proportion of cases that are detected and treated in the private sector do not get notified. Increasing the awareness about notification of TB will increase the notification by private sector including practitioners, labs and pharmacies. This st

Abstract:
Background: As private sector is dominant tuberculosis (TB) care provider in India, to realize the vision of TB free India, it is crucial that public and private sector follow uniform standard of TB care. This can be achieved when private health sector adopts TB management methodology of Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme (RNTCP) of India. The present study was conducted to estimate whether or not TB management practices of allopathic private practitioners (PPs) conform to RNTCP guidelines by assessment of their knowledge and practice about new pulmonary TB (PTB).Methods: A cross-

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Tuberculosis of nose, nasopharynx and paranasal sinus is extremely rare even in countries with a high incidence of pulmonary disease. We present two cases of primary nasal tuberculosis managed in last three years in our department with 2500 to 3000 patient visits per month. One case simulated basal cell carcinoma while other case was an ATT defaulter. Both the cases were managed on RNTCP guidelines. Nasal tuberculosis needs high level of suspicion and is diagnosed with laboratory support.
