A tuberculosis patient eats outside a ward at Moroto hospital
A tuberculosis (TB) patient eats outside a ward at Moroto hospital September 13, 2007. Tuberculosis, which is spread through close personal contact, has long been a problem in Africa, where hundreds of millions are latent carriers of the disease. But the growing relationship between TB and HIV has made treatment of both diseases more difficult in vulnerable populations. REUTERS/Xavier Toya (UGANDA)
