TB incidence rate is 60 times higher in Haiti than in the U.S. In New York City , the incidence of TB is 2.5 times the national average and still rising.

There is no effective vaccine for it, but most cases — except severely drug-resistant ones — can be treated with antibiotics, provided they're taken daily without interruption for several months or longer.
