Tuberculosis in Romania
“I started to cry. I could not believe it… I thought I was going to die.â€
Hearing that he had contracted tuberculosis was a severe blow for Alexandru Hamcer. He received another one when his brother became ill with the disease.  Alexandru firmly believes he gave his brother the disease.  Alexandru received months of treatment.  When he thought he was free of the illness he discovered he was suffering from extensively-drug resistant tuberculosis (XDR TB). In Romania, where Alexandru lives, there is only a 10% cure rate for XDR TB.
Romania has the highest number of TB cases in the EU. Each day 77 people become ill with it. Four die. ·¡Ã²°ù±è²¹ reports from Bucharest to see what’s been done to control the disease.
