CHRONICLES:THE ATM BATTLE PART 1

ATM % ( AIDS-TUBERCULOSIS-MALARIA)


SEX, AIR  &  MOSQUITOES
          


Tuberculosis is back, a Bronx Lebanon Hospital surgeon had been noting a few years ago. But the worst  of this returning is that  this  disease is now resistant to traditional  drugs.


What continues to matter about the ATM  Battle is how  these three infectious disease are transmitted. It is helpful to emphasize from the beginning that human being, protozoan and the breathing air have something to do with  the spreading of these three infections. The least we could say  is mother nature as a whole and living beings seem to play a key role in this dreadful ballet.

AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) is a sexually transmitted condition and for so falls into the category of STD ( Sexually Transmitted Disease). 

Tuberculosis  involves person to person contact  through a medium named air.

Malaria refers to climate, water, marshes but transmission there involves a protozoan  through  Anopheles mosquitoes bites.

If we cannot eradicate these pandemics, we can at least put them under control.  A lot of preventive  measures  are still going on that help limit their spreading.
