title: The race to eliminate tuberculosis.
abstract: Tuberculosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, but the number of cases is now lower than ever before, both in the United States and in North Carolina. Although case rates are declining, public health funding for tuberculosis is also declining; it remains to be seen whether tuberculosis will be successfully eliminated or whether it will reemerge in the United States.
