*** WHO sounds alarm over TB, HIV in Asia BANGKOK, Thailand - The World Health Organization is worried a fatal combination of tuberculosis and HIV could create a health disaster in Asia if governments cut back medical programs because of the regional economic crisis. About 8 million people are infected with tuberculosis worldwide every year, two thirds from Asia, and 3 million die, said Kraig Klaudt, head of the policy, strategy and promotion unit of the WHO's global TB program. This was despite the existence of effective treatments to cure and prevent the disease. Klaudt said 50% of all people in Asia were infected with tuberculosis, but in most cases it remained dormant, unless awakened by infections like HIV. See infobeat.com
