 | Overview |
| | is a disease caused by an infection with the bacteria During the 19th century, up to 25 per cent of deaths in Europe were caused by this disease. The death toll began to fall as living standards improved at the start of the 20th century, and from the 1940s, effective medicines were developed. However, there are now more people in the world than there were in 1950, and three million individuals will die this year from this disease - mainly in less developed countries. The disease is more common in areas of the world where poverty, malnutrition, poor general health and social disruption are present. |

| | Typical signs of are: can mimic many forms of disease and must always be considered if no firm diagnosis has been made. Other non- mycobacteria found in soil and water can cause disease in susceptible patients with a history of cystic fibrosis, chronic lung damage, alcoholism and immunosuppression (suppression of immune responses by a disease or drugs). These atypical mycobacteria can be present as colonising organisms without necessarily causing disease. |
