- Abstract
"Tuberculosis has been a major public health problem for centuries. The implementation of effective public health interventions for the prevention and control of TB has significantly contributed to a substantial reduction of the global disease burden. However, the emergence of the HIV epidemic has posed major challenges to TB control efforts globally. In a country with almost 40% of population already infected with TB, an increasing prevalence of HIV will jeopardize TB control efforts with serious consequences."
