Not only sobering but also quite hard to follow. I'm well aware this is not a medical forum, and TB is not an easy condition to explain. It's hard for me to believe that most cases of active TB are reactivation of latent infections, rather than new infections. Identifying latent TB for treatment is definitely one of the challenges in tackling this illness.
I only hope that my posts " interpret " all the recent publications on TB as clearly as possible !
