TB Remains Global Health Threat Highlighting Eskimo Indian Rates
Dr Stefan Gryzbowski of Vancouver tells a Canadian Tuberculosis Respiratory Disease Association meeting that TB is a major problem worldwide with 12 to 15 million active patients. He cites Eskimo rates at 447 per 100 000, versus 14 per 100 000 in Canada overall, 136 for Indians and 125 in Latin America. He urges continued support for international aid and research, noting past Indonesian relief efforts, as associations vote to cut international grants from 10 000 to 7 500 dollars.
