Tuberculosis is on increase worldwide. WHO estimates that nearly 1.7 Billions are infected with Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, out of which approximately 20 Millions are active cases. 3 Million die each year and 8 Million new cases occur in each year. [1] India is one of the 22 high burden countries. Here nearly 300 Million people are infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis [2]. 12 to 14 Million have active disease and there are about 5 lakh deaths per year. [3],[4] The problem in India is on the verge of an explosion with the emergence of increasing HIV infection and spread of Multi drug Resistant TB.
