AB  - Tuberculosis  (TB)  is  a  major  global  health  problem,  infecting  one-third  of  the  world's  population  and  causing  approximately  2  million  deaths  annually.  In  the  United  States,  TB  is  an  important  public  health  problem,  particularly  among  immigrants  whose  active  TB  case  rate  is  11  times  higher  than  that  of  nonimmigrants.  Other  risk  factors  include  HIV  infection;  living  or  working  in  prison,  shelters,  and  long-term  care  facilities;  caring  for  TB  patients;  and  alcohol/drug  abuse.
