  • Title: Estimates of future global tuberculosis morbidity and mortality.
    Author: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
    Journal: MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep; 1993 Dec 17; 42(49):961-4. PubMed ID: 8246861.
    Abstract:
    Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death associated with infectious diseases globally. The incidence of TB is expected to increase substantially worldwide during the next 10 years because of the interaction between the TB and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemics. This report uses TB notification data (i.e., cases reported to the ministries of health and collected by the World Health Organization [WHO]) to estimate the future global public health impact of TB and assesses the present and future contribution of HIV infection to TB.
