Ngando guardians learnt about Tuberculosis (TB) and prevention measures against the disease at a training held on June 3, 2010 at Free Pentecostal Church, Ngando. The training facilitated by Margaret Ndirangu, a nurse by profession gave an overview and definition of TB, transmission mode, signs and symptoms as well as prevention measures. Margaret defined TB as an airborne disease that can affect every part of the body except the hair and the nails. She said that TB had cure and likened it to “a fire which if watched, is not harmful and if not can spread and cause danger.” TB has been a challenge in Kenya with the rising numbers of HIV positive people. Margaret said that TB had been known to affect the economically productive age group of 25 – 35 years. She grouped the guardians into two groups and gave questions regarding the disease to assess how much they knew. Thereafter, each group presented its own finding and Margaret corrected wrong information. She then summarized the symptoms of TB being a cough for more that 2 weeks, sweating at night, weight loss, lack of appetite, chest pains, fever and fatigue. She also informed guardians of three tests: Sputum, Chest X-ray and Biopsy done to detect TB. TB treatment lasted six months where government hospitals gave drugs bi-weekly to ensure drug compliance and adherence. Some of the side effects of the drugs included nausea, loss of appetite and sensation although these differed from one person to another. To prevent spread of TB, she urged the sick to cover their mouth while coughing, ensure good air circulation in a room, avoid spitting on the ground, consistency in drug, ensure children get BCG immunization and eat a balanced diet. Thereafter, each family received a food bag for the month.
