Totally drug resistant strain of tuberculosis found in India
Evolution in action and it is scary.
"At least a dozen people in India are infected with a type of tuberculosis that is resistant to all antibiotics used to treat the disease.
In December, the journal
Clinical Infectious Diseases
published an online report that documented four of the cases. This
weekend, news outlets in India reported that there were actually at
least 12 people with the drug-resistant lung disease.
Officials fear that what they've
seen so far is just the beginning, and that many more cases are lurking
undetected."
