It was only a matter of time, XDR- Drug Resistant TB.

We are now paying the price for dropping our guard against a disease that should never have regained a foot hold in this country or Ireland.

Interesting part in the article link, "Treatment takes 12 to 18 months and costs more than £100,000 a patient. An outbreak would place a huge financial burden on local health authorities."

I doubt Thailand has those resources.

HIV is fueling the TB proble too. It essentially goes hand in hand.

I too am amazed that TB is a problem considering what it is, and how it is transmitted, you would think there would be more concern.
