The Global Epidemic of Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis was published in September 2001 to call attention to a deteriorating global tuberculosis (TB) situation. Although its impact was blunted by the events of 11 September, it is sobering to compare its description of TB problems at that time with the state of global TB control at present. TB--and the even worse resistant forms of the disease, multi-, extensively and even totally drug-resistant TB, a problem completely of our own making-is out of control due to neglect and inattention. Urgent attention is required to begin to rectify the situation.
《全球耐多药结核病流行》发表于 2001 年 9 月，旨在引起人们对不断恶化的全球结核病（TB）状况的关注。尽管 911 事件使其产生的影响有所减弱，但将其当时对结核病问题的描述与目前全球结核病控制状况进行对比，仍令人警醒。结核病——甚至更糟糕的耐药形式，即多药耐药、广泛耐药和甚至完全耐药结核病，这完全是我们自己造成的问题——由于被忽视而失控。需要立即引起重视，开始纠正这一局面。
