Notes de l'éditeur
While it is considered a disease of the urban poor today, tuberculosis has claimed the lives of numerous noted personalities around the world through the centuries. The most famous Filipino who contracted and later died of tuberculosis is probably Manuel L. Quezon, the first President of the Philippine Commonwealth. According to the WHO, >2 Billion people – one third of the world’s total population – are infected with TB bacilli. One in every 10 of those people will become sick with active TB in his lifetime. A total of 1.77 million people died from TB in 2007 (including 456,000 people with HIV), equal to about 4,800 deaths a day. The Philippines is among the 22 high burden countries for tuberculosis, according to the WHO. TB is the 6th leading cause of illness and the 6th leading cause of deaths among Filipinos. According to the 2nd National Prevalence Survey done in 1997, most TB patients belong to the economically productive age-group (15-54 years old).
