A particularly drug-resistant tuberculosis discovered in eastern South Africa is likely to have spread beyond the rural area where 52 of the 53 people first diagnosed with the new strain have died, the doctor who discovered the super bug said.
The extent of the new outbreak is unknown because tests are expensive and specialized.
So far, everyone who has had the new strain has also happened to have HIV. Could there be a connection? posted by Sydney on
