WAC Tuberculose

"Muitas pessoas estão morrendo desnecessariamente como resultado da tuberculose que ainda é a principal causa de morte entre pessoas que vivem com HIV. A cada dia que passa sem uma ação o número inaceitável de mortes aumenta entre pessoas e comunidades afetadas pela tuberculose e pelo HIV." -- Dr. Marcos Espinal, Secretário Executivo da Parceria Pare a Tuberculose.

Em todo o mundo, 12% de todas as mortes por tuberculose ocorre em pessoas que vivem com o HIV. A tuberculose mate até metade de todos os pacientes de AIDS em alguns locais. A tuberculose porém é uma doença curável e evitável.
