"Which of course is not especially fatal compared with lymphoma." Oops, famous last words about tuberculosis. According to Michael Colgan who I went to hear speak tonight about health in general and antioxidants, muscle health and all that "host resistance" stuff in particular, tuberculosis is now considered lethal, with more people dying in New York right now than ever before. He quoted a particular drug resistant strain which is doing the damage. Survival only 20% or something - I can't remember the exact figures, but WHO expecting a huge increase in tuberculosis deaths over the next few years.

Anyway, tuberculosis and other diseases are increasingly dangerous says he. Necrotizing yuk bug being a mutant virally linked Streptococcal infection with increasing frequency and very damaging results.

I guess a lot of the tuberculosis happens in Aids related cases. Yes? Maybe that explains a lot of increase.
