More people die of tuberculosis(结核病)than of any other disease caused by a
single agent.This has probably been the case in quite a while. During the early
stages of the industrial revolution.perhaps one in every seventh deaths in
Europe's crowded cities were caused by the disease. From now on,though, western
eyes,missing the global picture,saw the trouble going into decline.With
occasional breaks for war,the rates of death and infection in the Europe and
America dropped steadily through the 19th and 20th centuries.In the 1950s,the
introduction of antibiotics(抗菌素)strengthened the trend in rich countries,and the
antibiotics were allowed to be imported to poor countries.Medical researchers
declared victory and withdrew.
They are wrong.In the mid-1980s the frequency of infections and deaths
started to pick up again around the world.Where tuberculosis vanished,it came
back;in many places where it had never been away,it grew better.The World Health
Organization estimates that 1.7 billion people(a third of the earth's
population)suffer from tuberculosis.Even when the infection rate was
falling,population growth kept the number of clinical cases more or less
constantly at 8 million a year.Around 3 million of those people died,nearly all
of them in poor countries.
