All right, I thought all TB patients had been cleared out.

我以为所有的肺结核病人都转移了呢。

TB researcher William Jacobs, with the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx.

克斯的爱因斯坦医学院的肺结核病研究者 William Jacobs 如是说。

March 24th is the day when Dr. Robert Koch made the discovery of the cause of tuberculosis in 1882.

1882年的3月24日，罗伯特·科霍医生发现了肺结核病因。

Its aim is to raise global awareness that tuberculosis is still an epidemic in many parts of the world.

该节日的目的是要提高人们对肺结核病的认识，在全球许多地区，肺结核依然猖獗。

These symptoms produce the classic image of TB: weight loss, a hacking, bloody cough, and ashen skin.

这些典型的肺结核病象：变瘦、干咳、咳血、面色苍白。

The country's health-care system was designed to treat infectious diseases: the institute's neighbour is a big tuberculosis unit.

国家建立医疗体系重点是治疗传染性疾病。这家研究所旁边是一家肺结核病的专门医院。

But for that to happen, we need an innovative plan, a plan of attack for addressing the alarming increase in multidrug-resistant TB.

但要实现这一点，我们需要创新的计划，能对付日益增多的多药耐药肺结核病的计划。

In part, owing to the emergence of two new treatment-resistant strains, the number of tuberculosis cases is now once again on the rise.

部分原因是出现了两种新的耐药菌株，肺结核病例数如今再次呈现上升趋势。

Stronger public-health systems would help fight such diseases as tuberculosis, which reduces global GDP by $12 billion a year, and malaria, which takes an even bigger toll.

每年仅在防治肺结核病上，全球GDP减少了120亿美金，而疟疾则耗费更多。
