This from a recent CBC News broadcast. Tuberculosis on the rise Posted Mar 19, 1998 10:36 PM EST The World Health Organization has sent out a warning on the alarming spread of tuberculosis. The organization says, unless something is done to stop the epidemic, one billion people will be infected in the next 20 years and 70 million will die. The T.B. problem is concentrated in 22 countries, mostly in Southeast Asia and parts of Africa.

Toronto could be ripe for a resurgence of tuberculosis, the city's medical officer of health warns.
