Indian immigrants responsible for TB prevalence in UK--Lancet report

Reportedly, the latest published content in the ‘Lancet Infectious Diseases’ journal says that the just-arrived Indian immigrants are responsible for almost 50 percent of the TB cases in UK.

This is the same journal that had previously blamed New Delhi as the super bug carrier and had even named the infectious disease after the national capital of India.

According to the study, almost one amongst five immigrants from India and one out of three from sub-Saharan Africa carried tuberculosis to United Kingdom.
