Children Also Suffer from Tuberculosis
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) recently stated Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the world's leading infectious disease killers.
Until the recent pandemic, the bacterium that causes TB was described as "the most destructive pathogen on the planet."
Despite being vaccine-preventable, treatable, and curable, TB continues to kill more people each year than HIV and malaria combined, says USAID.
