Enfermedades transmisibles

En el Departamento de Salud del Distrito de Barren River tenemos un equipo de enfermedades transmisibles (equipo CD) que es una parte fundamental de los principales servicios de salud pública de Kentucky. Este equipo trabaja para monitorear la aparición de enfermedades infecciosas, desarrollar estrategias para prevenir las enfermedades y trabaja para controlar la propagación de enfermedades en la comunidad. Los miembros del equipo del CD brindan consultas a la comunidad de atención médica, a los socios comunitarios y al público en general en relación con más de 70 enfermedades de notificación obligatoria, que la ley de Kentucky exige que se notifiquen. El equipo del CD utiliza los informes, las investigaciones y la vigilancia de las enfermedades para identificar los casos y los brotes; estas herramientas se utilizan para ayudar al equipo del CD a controlar las enfermedades de notificación obligatoria.

El equipo del CD también administra los casos de personas con tuberculosis (TB) activa, lo que incluye la terapia de observación directa y la investigación por contacto. El equipo del CD organiza clínicas antituberculosas todos los meses, se ocupa de tratar la infección tuberculosa latente y evalúa a todas las personas que han emigrado recientemente para detectar la enfermedad de la tuberculosis de otros condados; el Dr. Douglas Thomas es nuestro director de control de la tuberculosis.
