...document the ongoing TB epidemic, TIME's James Nachtwey traveled to seven countries over the last five months, photographing the diverse and changing face of the disease. As his images show, controlling the epidemic requires investing not just in new technologies but also in expanding existing programs to control and detect TB before it even becomes resistant. And dots (Directly Observed Treatment, Short Course) is a critical part of that strategy. Developed in the 1990s, the program requires health officials to be present to watch their patients take their complete course of medications, even if it means visiting them...

If Antoni Gaudí had been a hobbit, he might have designed something just like...
Over the past five months, TIME's James Nachtwey has documented the resurgence of TB in seven countries. Turning back the epidemic will require not just newer and more effective drugs but also better ways to detect the disease and a renewed commitment to expanding existing TB-treatment programs. In June the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended a new, rapid test for TB that can provide results in as little as two days. But for most TB-ravaged nations, adopting the technique will require upgrading lab facilities. That's not easy, but it's something WHO hopes will ultimately help...
