摘要
The number of tuberculosis (TB) cases and global TB incidence rates is decreasing according to the latest World Health Organization Global Tuberculosis Report (1). This is very welcome news. However, the 8.8 million incident cases of TB, 1.1 million deaths from TB among HIV-negative people, the 350,000 deaths from HIV-associated TB, and the millions of children orphaned as a result of parental deaths caused by TB provide a stark reminder of the magnitude of devastation caused by TB each year. Advances in understanding TB epidemiology diagnosis and treatment in 2011, many of which were reported in the Journal, provide hope that the annual decline in TB cases will accelerate.
