1,000 cases a day as resistant TB ‘ravages’ Europe
With World TB Day falling next Tuesday — March 24 —new data from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDPC) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) for Europe shows that cases fell by 6% between 2012 and 2013.
About 360,000 Europeans developed TB in 2013 but, even with an annual 6% decline, Europe will not be TB-free until the next century.
