HEALTH: African Health Officials Face TB Crisis

African Health Officials Face TB Crisis

Note the article's mention of a fivefold increase in TB cases in Kenya. And in Sagam?

This still does not answer the question about Sagam. During the period when TB cases increased fivefold in Kenya, what happened in Sagam? And are data kept separately on TB cases related to HIV infection/AIDS and TB cases with no apparent connection to HIV/AIDS? Is that an important measure given that HIV/AIDS patients can spread TB?

In any case, what do the data tell us about trends in Sagam in comparison with the country as a whole on the TB quesiton?
