Woman from India Being Treated in U.S. for ‘Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis’....June 9,2015
Landed here April 4th
The patient will not be charged for her treatment as she is at NHI .... “Even if patients are citizens of other countries, Dr. Fauci said, their governments are not billed....the woman’s treatment would be expensive, given the long stay and costly drugs needed, but that he could not even begin to estimate the ultimate cost.”
Tests at a hospital in Illinois showed extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis, or XDR-TB.
“This person is looking at ‘a very long course of careful treatment and observation,” Dr. Fauci said.
She has no contact with other patients, and doctors and nurses who treat her must wear gloves, gowns, eye protection and specially fitted masks called N-95 respirators.
Even though they take every precaution, health workers who treat TB patients are usually tested for the disease once a year, Dr. Fauci said.
