Article Synopsis
- The conflict in Syria has made it easier for tuberculosis (TB) to spread and for drug-resistant kinds to develop.
- Before the conflict, TB cases were recorded at a rate of 22 per 100,000 people, but the number is probably much higher now because of difficulties in finding and treating patients.
- To control TB in Syria, new and practical methods are needed to help diagnose and treat people, especially in vulnerable areas like prisons, while also thinking about rebuilding the country after the conflict.
