 AB    Beginning in 1985, the long decline in TB cases was dramatically
       reversed; from 1985 through 1992 reported cases increased 20.1 percent
       nationally. Two characteristics of this resurgent epidemic are unique:
       its prevalence among immunocompromised HIV-infected people and the
       emergence of multidrug-resistant TB. Current epidemiological trends,
       demographics and treatment approaches are discussed, as well as the
       implications MDR-TB holds for dentistry.
