 AB    A rising case load of tuberculosis (TB) in Tanzania is being blamed on
       HIV/AIDS, according to the manager of the country's TB and leprosy
       control program. Tanzania's Health Ministry estimates that 1.5 million
       Tanzanians are HIV-positive, a figure expected to double by the year
       2000. The increase in TB cases is now eroding achievements gained in the
       national campaign to combat the disease. A greater effort is required to
       erase the information gap that has developed, particularly in the
       semi-literate rural population, about AIDS and TB.
