This form of tuberculosis is sometimes called "Ebola with wings" and is the direct result of inadequate treatment programs.
It has been reported in 49 countries to date (October 2008) including every G8 member country.
One infected person who laughs, coughs, or sings, can result in an epidemic.
This is an emergency that requires an emergency response.
