India 63000
Pakistan 15000

India beats Pakistan.

Congratulations India !!!

It's a percentages think, my dear.

You have my sympathy.

Now lets look in terms of percentage, shall we?

The World looks at ACTUAL NUMBERS not percentage or fractions.

Guys let it be. Thanks for your concern Hafizzzzz. Am sure both China and India will be able to bring their numbers down.

Will be eradicated slowly but effectively, just what we did to Polio. Bdw TB effected patients can avail Dots for free in any govt hospital.

I couldn't get what you meant by "eradication slowly but effectively"

On topic - Government should make sure that all TB affected people are availing DOT.. Drugs for 2nd line treatment are bit expensive, government must subsidize them.

Would itbe effective though? I mean what does Multi Drug resistant mean?

India will not be able to eradicate TB easily. TB is to stay in India for good.

Asking the very same question.

MDR means infection is not being cured by the drugs in practice, in other words bacteria is not responding to drugs, it has developed the resistance.

Tell that to the next Polio victim you find in Pakistan.

Yeah its hard but not impossible, infection is endemic in Asia.

Use the proper terminology , TB highly prevalent among African countries.

The main drawback of this disease is existing animal models fail to mimic the human disease perfectly now they focused on non-human primates.

 

[Emmie]

Use the proper terminology , TB highly prevalent among African countries.

Ohk, so you are coming strictly epidemiologically.. Well, I tried to use a simple term so that people get it easily, my bad, we also have epidemiologists here.

Here we go again: TB is pretty prevalent(don't confuse it with incidence) in Asia.

Now lets look in terms of percentage, shall we?

That will require complicated mathematics

So by your logic, literacy in India is 10 times that of Pakistan...

Next headline.. Pakistan is 1/10 th of India in terms of literacy
