Tuberculosis
The prognosis from recovery from tuberculosis is good in the majority of patients. However, it can still be fatal in some cases such as military tuberculosis or strains of drug-resistant tuberculosis. Today miliary tuberculosis is very rare in Western world countries.
Early diagnosis and a prompt treatment regimen are crucial to curing tuberculosis. It is also very important that the treatment is completed even if the patient has fully recovered. Without a proper treatment, the life expectancy of patients with active tuberculosis does not usually exceed five years.

The Patients Voice The Patients Voice is one of the many patient-focused services from Healthcare Landscape. Healthcare Landscape is a medical and healthcare research company, which conducts interviews with all the different kinds of people involved in the healthcare process. They range from patients and their carers, to medical professionals like nurses, pharmacists, physicians and academics. Our mission is to find out what they think and what their experiences have been.
We can interview over the web, at home or at a special research facility; depending on what type of study it is, the choice is often yours. We also run patient diaries and blogs, so you can air your views as honestly and informally as you like. We want to ensure that you have access to the best research experience, and in turn, our clients will learn from your story. Our clients are quite diverse. They range from pharmaceutical or medical device companies, to charities and government bodies. The Patients Voice is open to anyone in the world who wants to give an opinion and would like to try to make a difference. This forum gives you power by allowing you to get YOUR VOICE HEARD.
You should always consult your physician regarding any medical issues. While we attempt to make sure the information on this site is as accurate as possible consulting a medical professional is always to be advised.
