Gusau \u2013 No fewer than 347 people were infected with tuberculosis in Zamfara between January and April, Dr Ibrahim Bature, the TB and Leprosy Control Officer in the state, has announced.<\/p>\n

He told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN),\u00a0that Gusau Local Government Area had the highest with 115 cases, while Bukkuyum Local Government Area had the least with six cases.<\/p>\n

Bature said 20 of those infected also tested positive HIV\/AIDS positive. He explained that the increase in the number of those infected by the disease was due to the fact that it was a communicable disease.<\/p>\n

Bature said the disease was caused by a bacteria known as \u201cmycobacterium tuberculosis,\u201d which was easily spread through contact with an infected person.<\/p>\n

He added that the National TB and Leprosy Control Office had provided enough \u201cpatient kids\u201d with anti-TB drugs at 57 TB centres for every TB patient in the state.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
