The Tuberculosis (TB) clinic routinely handles the treatment, and supplies
medication for the majority of the active TB cases in Genesee County.
Program staff is responsible for the case managing, surveillance, contact
investigation and treatment follow-up for all suspect/active TB cases.
Staff perform Directly Observed
Therapy (DOT). DOT is the method of
observing the actual ingestion of a
client's TB medication by a health care
worker. DOT is used to facilitate
compliance to anti-tuberculosis
medication in order to stop the
transmission of the disease, prevent
drug resistance, ensure uninterrupted TB
therapy, and to ensure completion of
therapy.
