title: Tuberculosis in the world today.
abstract: Tuberculosis remains a major public health problem throughout the world. Although the disease was previously well controlled in the United States, several factors now present a potential for the reemergence of tuberculosis as a significant public health concern. Physicians who will be responsible for the care of these patients must be trained to respond appropriately.
