In conclusion, extrapulmonary TB remains a significant fraction of the total TB cases in Tennessee. During the last few years, the percentage of extrapulmonary TB in Tennessee has been on the increase. Understanding these changes in the epidemiology of extrapulmonary TB will help the clinician in making a prompt diagnosis, leading to appropriate therapy. Understanding the changing trends at the national level may aid state health departments in reorganizing disease control programs, thus, facilitating the eradication of TB and other communicable diseases in Tennessee.
Non-diphtheria corynebacteria are normal commensals of the skin and mucous membranes of humans. Increasingly, however, these saprophytic organisms are being recognized as pathogens. Patients infected with these bacteria typically have an underlying immunosuppressive process and/or an indwelling venous catheter. Pleuropulmonary infection with Corynebacterium striatum is rare. We present a patient with diabetes mellitus who developed an intrapulmonary abscess due to C. striatum.
Managed care will present many new challenges to health care providers in their efforts to improve the quality of the preventive care their patients receive. Managed care will present both formidable obstacles to prevention and previously unknown opportunities to enhance population-based preventive services. Whether these opportunities are realized depends on the degree and quality of the involvement of health care providers in managed care institutions. Provider and public health input is particularly needed to promote the development of uniform preventive care standards, the development of information systems for continuous monitoring of preventive service delivery, and to enhance clinic-based preventive efforts, and the development of reimbursement mechanisms that provide incentives for prevention. Independent research and oversight is needed to show the impact of various types of managed care on preventive service delivery and quality of care. The effects of managed care on the preventive care that patients receive will ultimately be determined by the quality, priorities, and determination of the management.
