Tuberculosis and nontuberculous mycobacterial infections in older adults
Clin Chest Med.
2007 Dec.
Abstract
Tuberculosis is one of the world's great public health crises. It is estimated by the World Health Organization that roughly one third of the world's populations, or some 2 billion people, are infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent. More than 8 million people every year develop active tuberculosis disease, and 2 million die as a result. This article reviews tuberculosis and nontuberculous mycobacterial infections in older adults.
