 "TB's stronghold in India: A tragedy there and a grave concern for the world")
A study published recently in The Lancet has drawn the world’s attention to the spectre of particularly dangerous types of tuberculosis, called multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant, in four countries. The study estimated that the percentage of multidrug-resistant TB among all cases in India, which already has the highest burden of the disease of any country, is set to increase to more than 12 percent in India by 2040.
Also, TB that is extensively drug-resistant is likely to increase in India to almost 9 percent.
India had more cases of TB than any other
