"Tuberculosis is often seen as a threat of the past. But it remains a
significant concern worldwide, with international travel spreading the disease.

While tuberculous is rare in Australia, and we no longer routinely vaccinate
against it, clusters of cases in South Australia over the past 17 months have
put health authorities on alert.

So what exactly is tuberculosis, how is it treated and what is Australia doing
to prevent its transmission?"
