WAC Tuberculosis (TB, por sus siglas en inglés)

"Muchas personas están muriendo innecesariamente como resultado de la tuberculosis, la cual es aún una causa importante de muerte entre las personas que viven con el VIH. Cada día que pasa sin tomar acción, se suma al índice inaceptable de mortalidad entre las personas y comunidades afectadas por la tuberculosis y el VIH." --Dr. Marcos Espinal, Secretario ejecutivo de Stop TB Partnership (Sociedad Detengamos la Tuberculosis)

En todo el mundo, el 12% de todas las muertes por tuberculosis ocurren en personas que viven con el VIH. La tuberculosis es la causa de muerte de hasta la mitad de todos los pacientes con SIDA, en ciertos entornos. Sin embargo, la tuberculosis es una enfermedad curable y prevenible.
