    Tuberculosis seems to have been wiped out – but now the epidemic is returning with a vengeance. According to the World Health Organization, there are ten million new cases reported globally per year. Not only veterans who have been infected are having recurring episodes, tourists and business travelers are seeking help as well. Refugees might also carry the disease abroad from their homeland where tuberculosis is rife. But it has been decades since tuberculosis broke out last time, and there are not many medical experts and facilities in this field today. How are the hospitals and health authorities coping with the challenges? How are those affected dealing with the exhausting treatments? More than 100 years after the discovery of tuberculosis, the battle against the illness begins anew.
