 AB    Both public and private institutions are mobilizing to combat
       drug-resistant TB--indeed, to eliminate all TB. Meeting this goal will
       require a three-pronged approach: 1) prophylactic isoniazid treatment of
       latent TB, 2) multidrug (at least six agents in some cases) treatment of
       active TB to eradicate resistant strains, and 3) correction of the
       social conditions that have contributed to the current epidemic.
