XDRTB ??

Extreme drug resistant tuberculosis or XDRTB

Patients die within weeks......

You should see these photographs. They're both powerful and moving. They highlight the awful disease XDR -TB, a new and deadly form of tuberculosis that is threatening to become a global pandemic.





(As background, the photographs were taken by leading photojournalist James Nachtwey and were 'unveiled' on October 3rd, 2008 in more than 50 cities on seven continents as a deliberate attempt to highlight this new danger faced by the world.)

Help to spread awareness, which is the first step to halting the disease. XDRTB.ORG
