Tuberculosis: optimism, pessimism, frustration.
The re-emergence of tuberculosis as a serious public health threat has captured the nation's attention. Tuberculosis more frequently affects the ethnic minorities and the socially and economically disadvantaged residents of Maryland. Effective regimens are available to treat and prevent tuberculosis. Consistent application of proven infection control measures and of treatment and prevention regimens will prevent the development and spread of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.
