1. What is the name of your proposed project.
Intersecting Battles: Tuberculosis and Kwashiorkor in the Face of Malnutrition
2. Provide a list of goals you have for those who visit your poster.
– Understand the direct and indirect causes of Tuberculosis.
– Recognize the symptoms of Tuberculosis and how they may be exacerbated by poor nutrition.
– Learn about the modes of transmission of Tuberculosis.
– Gain insight into how malnutrition, specifically kwashiorkor, can increase susceptibility to infectious diseases like Tuberculosis and complicate their progression and treatment.
3. Describe your presentation, what do you plan to do?
The presentation will be a poster that aims to:
– Illustrate the link between malnutrition and increased risk of infectious diseases, using Tuberculosis as a case study.
– Provide information on the global challenge of Tuberculosis and how it intersects with the issue of kwashiorkor, a severe form of malnutrition.
– Outline the possibility and current status of vaccine development against Tuberculosis and the challenges posed by malnutrition in vaccine efficacy.
– I plan to interact with visitors by conducting mini Q&A sessions, guiding them through the poster sections, and encouraging them to participate in a short quiz on the topics covered.
4. Explain in detail how this will benefit those who visit your poster.
Visitors to the poster will come away with:
– A comprehensive understanding of how infectious diseases and malnutrition can create a vicious cycle, using the specific example of Tuberculosis and kwashiorkor.
– Knowledge about the importance of nutritional support in the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases.
– Awareness of public health initiatives and research developments in combating Tuberculosis, including vaccine strategies.
– Practical information on the symptoms of both Tuberculosis and kwashiorkor, potentially leading to earlier recognition and treatment.
