Abstract
The explosive growth of drug-resistant TB in Eastern Europe is every bit as serious as an outbreak of Ebola disease, according to Mario Raviglione, head of the WHO TB eradication programme. Multi-drug-resistant TB has been called ‘Ebola with wings’ and, according to Raviglione, it should be tackled via a concerted international effort of the kind mounted to stifle outbreaks of Ebola disease. New data show that in Estonia, one in seven people diagnosed for the first time with TB are resistant to several front-line antibiotics, and more than a third of new cases are resistant to at least one antibiotic.
