AB  - Despite  important  advances  in  its  treatment  over  the  past  2  decades,  tuberculosis  (TB)  remains  a  major  infectious  disease.  Approximately  one-third  of  the  world’s  population  harbors  Mycobacterium  tuberculosis  and  is  at  risk  for  developing  disease  in  the  near  or  distant  future.  The  incidence  and  prevalence  of  TB  increased  in  the  1990s  and  2000s  partly  due  to  the  human  immunodeficiency  virus  (HIV)  epidemic  and  the  prevalence  of  drug-resistant  TB.  The  failure  to  control  TB  in  both  developed  and  developing  countries  represents  one  of  our  greatest  public  health  failures.
