About this book

Timebomb:The Global Epidemic of Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis by Tanne, Janice Hopkins. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780071359245.

Two billion people - one-third of the worlds population - are infected with latent tuberculosis. Ten percent of those infected will develop active TB in their lifetimes. A scourge supposedly defeated by antibiotics half a century ago, tuberculosis kills more people today than ever before in history. And the numbers arent getting any better. Worse yet this ancient disease is undergoing a metamorphosis, adapting to our misused medications, growing stronger, becoming unbeatable - becoming multi-drug-resistant.
