Abstract

Tuberculosis is old news, but it’s not pass�e. Despite an onslaught of antibiotics, vaccines, and public health interventions, tuberculosis persists as a widespread infectious killer, second only to HIV6AIDS. Given the availability of effective treatments, tuberculosis should be confined to history, but it is not.
