Have we misunderstood TB ’s timeline?
The number of people estimated to be latently infected with TB - that is infected with TB, which has not yet manifested symptoms - is around 2 billion. That is 1 in 3 people on the planet are infected by the bacteria. The World Health Organization’s website notes that on average 5-10% of those infected with TB will develop active TB.
That number is terrifying, but a new analysis published in the BMJ, suggests that the assumption that latent TB often has a very long incubation period of many years may be wrong - and that may change how we calculate the number of people affected, and our whole approach to tackling the dis...
