Dr. Frankel is correct about the incidence of tuberculosis. The estimate of 1.7 billion refers to the number of patients who are infected with M. tuberculosis, not the number of patients with tuberculosis itself.
In Table 2, the footnote for “Incidence” is mislabeled. This refers to the number of patients infected rather than the number of deaths. The number of deaths is given in the next column. With regard to Table 5, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole is administered once daily except as otherwise stated.
