Curving Tuberculosis: Current Trends and Future Needs

Tuberculosis (TB) presents new challenges as a global public health problem, especially at a time of increasing threats to some particular patients due to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection and multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains of Mycobacterium tubercul...
