Abstract

Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. In 2010, there were 8.8 million (range, 8.5~9.2 million) incident cases of TB, 1.1 million deaths from TB among HIV-negative people and an additional 0.35 million deaths from HIV-associated TB. Due to such health-related importance, tuberculosis is one of areas being actively researched. Many numbers of tuberculosis-related papers are being presented each year, and in this review, it summarizes contents of a few papers that had been selected among the papers presented from 2009 to early 2011.
