[quote=DODGER,365567]Just to put this into perspective I’ve added some information from the UK’s Health Protection agency. “About nine million new cases of TB, and nearly two million deaths from TB, are estimated to occur around the world every year. TB is the leading cause of death among curable infectious diseases. The World Health Organization declared TB a global emergency in 1993. TB usually causes disease in the lungs (pulmonary), but can also affect other parts of the body (extra-pulmonary). Only the pulmonary form of TB disease is infectious. Transmission occurs through coughing of infectious droplets, and usually requires prolonged close contact with an infectious case. TB is curable with a combination of specific antibiotics, but treatment must be continued for at least six months. Over 8000 new cases of TB are currently reported each year in the United Kingdom. Most cases occur in major cities, particularly in London.” Dodger. [/quote]
