In some parts of the world it's even becoming a greater problem than historically, because of strains of drug-resistant forms that are starting to appear.
And when you combine TB with HIV you get a very unpleasant situation. Just goes to show we shouldn't confuse "It's a thing of the past" with "It's a thing of the past round here".
Indeed. Toss poverty and government corruption into the mixture and it becomes one hell of a mess. Locally, if statistics are to be believed (and around here these kind of stats are well below reality), there's over half a million people living with active TB.
How many of these are considered (in the first world countries) to be things of the past?
Malaria
Cholera
Polio
