U.S. vulnerable to multidrug-resistant TB epidemic, computer model shows
While the United States has made great progress in the prevention and treatment of tuberculosis, the nation has become more susceptible to potential epidemics of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, or MDR-TB, according a new study. Computer simulations show that as TB prevalence falls, the risk for more extensive MDR-TB increases. In addition, the simulation also showed that higher detection of TB cases without proper treatment of cases also increased risk.

Computer simulations show that as TB prevalence falls, the risk for more extensive MDR-TB increases.” View full resource at labspaces.net
