  • To emphasize the need for immediate control measures.

Summary:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) incidence has increased worldwide, particularly in developing nations.
  • Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection is a significant co-factor.
  • Increased resistance to antituberculosis drugs is a major driver of this trend.

Impact:
