E-DRUG: MSF video: I want a TB test that works for me!

I want a TB test that works for me !
On World TB Day, former and current MSF patients talk about their
difficult and sometimes chaotic journey to being diagnosed with TB. The
TB tests most commonly used today were invented over a century ago. They
fail to detect TB in most people with HIV and in children. Nor can they
detect drug-resistant strains of the disease. In fact less than half the
patients who have TB can be diagnosed by these tests. This means many die,
undetected, of a curable disease.
