Abstract

The incidence of tuberculosis, in decline in Western countries for years, is increasing again. Inadequate therapy leads to the emergence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, which is difficult to treat and for which there is no effective chemoprophylaxis. Prevention is the most important strategy.
