Description

Zarir Udwadia writes in *Thorax* about an extremely drug resistant strain of TB in India. He writes: > Thus, decades of mismanagement of MDR-TB at government and private care levels have resulted in amplification of the level of resistance till we have finally ended up with a virtually untreatable strain.
