I made this great poster to raise awareness about the severity of TB in the world today. I also read some facts to my team as we drove home from our frisbee tournament at Yale.
Facts:
TB is second only to HIV/AIDS as the greatest killer worldwide due to a single infectious agent.
In 2010, 8.8 million people fell ill with TB and 1.4 million died from TB
Over 95% of TB deaths occur in low and middle income countries.
Multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB) is present in virtually all countries surveyed.
