Untreatable TB should have been headline news.

What is more important? Tony Blair leaving government or a deadly disease being labelled "untreatable" by the World Health Organisation?

Yet look around the internet and you will find hardly any coverage of the second item.
I however think this story is definitely worthy of headline news. I am sure after reading the following articles you will agree:

'Virtually untreatable' TB found
Extremely Resistant TB Emerges in South Africa
Drug-resistant TB raises global fears
Call to isolate TB victims
Kenya: Declare TB an Emergency, British MPs Urge State
