8499: corrected TB statistics to Economic Asphyxiation article (fwd)
From: MKarshan@aol.com
Dr. Paul Farmer has send in these corrections to the article ECONOMIC
ASPHYXIATION article:
TB is broken down into two categories:
1. infection with TB
2. disease from TB
Probably in many areas in Haiti the infected rate may be as high as 50% of
the adults.
the rate of disease (incidence of all forms of TB) is probably 360/100,000
population (the highest in the hemisphere)
