Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is very much present in the underdeveloped parts of the world. Removal of international aid programs (food, shelter, employment, health care, and research) will lead to an increased incidence of debilitating disease and premature death. Multi-drug-resistant TB will surely increase in prevalence.
