It has been mooted that TB is making a comeback although I believe it is still quite rare these days. Probably nothing.

There are types of TB with no cure. It seems to be more common in cities.
TB is a problem in prisons in the US.

Interesting. Any idea why? I guess a lot of people in a small space. Once it gets in it's hard to get out.

In fact TB is real pandemic:


In 2007 there were an estimated 13.7 million chronic active cases, 9.3 million new cases, and 1.8 million deaths, mostly in developing countries.

Wikipedia
I think numbers on Wikipedia are much lower then in reality - you can do magic with statistics as we have seen with swine flu ...

TB was quite thoroughly discussed in ATS Ukraine flu thread .
