NOTRE DAME, Ind., March 24 -- Notre Dame issued the following news:
In the time it takes to read this article, half a dozen people will have died from tuberculosis (TB).
It is a cruel and persistent killer, claiming 1.8 million lives each year, an estimated 200,000 of which are children, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
Considering the gravity of those numbers, it's even more alarming to know that many cases go unreported.
