Wins, Losses Cited in Fight to Control TB

NPR  

Wins, Losses Cited in Fight to Control TB In 2005, 8.8 million people worldwide became infected with tuberculosis. "The population of the world is growing faster than TB," said Mario Raviglione, coordinator of tuberculosis programs for the World Health Organization. "If you take China, India, Indonesia, Philippines Cambodia, Vietnam — these are all countries that have put together effective programs which are reaching today quite a high case detection," Raviglione said. Sponsor Message Paul Nunn, director of the World Health Organization's program STOP TB, said the key with AIDS patients is to make sure they receive "a full course of treatment right to the end" of their lives. Kenneth Castro, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Division of Tuberculosis Elimination, said the majority of those cases were in people born outside the U.S. "We need to make sure that we help reduce the number of people with tuberculosis, and by doing so reduce the likelihood of importation as well as the likelihood of us becoming infected as we travel and live overseas," Castro said.
