| description | Tuberculosis (TB) is an ancient disease dating back at least 5000 years, but the TB epidemic is said to be getting worse than at any other time in history (Puri & John, 1997: 12). Someone is infected with TB every second, with a death from TB every 15 seconds, and one out of every three of these infections being in a child (Zar, Hanslo, Apolles, Swingler & Hussey, 2005: 130).
