Caption:
This image depicts what is called a sputum collection spot, which had been set up outside a clinic at a tuberculosis dispensary located in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. In this way, a patient, who is asked to deliver a sputum specimen, stands outside the unit, inside a three-sided, partial enclosure, in order to minimize the risk of contamination to other patients, and staff. One tuberculosis ward staff member was standing outside the collection spot, dressed in a full complement of personal protective equipment (PPE), awaiting the hand-off of the patient’s sputum sample.
