Tuberculosis: Deadly combination
Stefan H. E. Kaufmann1
Abstract
Many factors affect the severity of tuberculosis in infected individuals. Among these are the genetic make-up of the bacterial strain, that of the host, and the interplay between the two.
A quick scan through this article might take five minutes of your time. During this period, 16 people will have died of tuberculosis, 80 will have fallen ill with it, and an astounding 800 will have become infected with the disease-causing pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis1.
- Stefan H. E. Kaufmann is at the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, Department of Immunology, Charitéplatz 1, D-10117 Berlin, Germany.
