Swaziland: Dual HIV And Tuberculosis Epidemic Demands Urgent Action
21 Nov 2010
The dual epidemic of tuberculosis (TB) and HIV is devastating Swaziland, cutting life expectancy there from 60 years to just 31, said the international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/M?decins Sans Fronti?res (MSF) today in a new report.
.................
Swaziland has the highest HIV prevalence in the world among adults," said Aymeric P?guillan, MSF's head of mission in Swaziland. "Disturbingly, more than 80 percent of TB patients are also co-infected with HIV. Life expectancy has halved within two decades, plummeting from 60 to just 31 years. People are dying in large numbers and tuberculosis is currently the main cause of mortality among adults. As a result, many children are being made orphans and the adult workforce is declining."
