Is Untreatable TB The New Killer Pandemic?
Scary stuff. From Yahoo News:
Drug-resistant "white plague" lurks among rich and poor - Yahoo! News
As if MDR-TB (Multi-Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis) isn't scary enough.....Now we have TDR-TB (Total-Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis). COMPLETELY man-made.......And ground zero for these types appear to be in countries like India and Pakistan where access to antiobiotics is.....well.......'carefree'.....and where more (if not most) folks don't complete the required drug-treatment regimen......
(In the U.S. warrants are issued to patients who don't finish required treatments.........)
Scary disease....and extrapolate the results if not handled......Scarier.
Enjoy
