Description
It's a deadly disease that is hitting epidemic proportions.The World Health Organization says at least eight million new active cases of tuberculosis surface each year. One-third of the world's population is infected with TB and every second, another person is newly infected. The current TB vaccine is not effective in fighting TB in the lungs, but now, a VUMC research team has developed a new "very promising" approach to defeat the disease. Barb Cramer has the story.
