In commemoration of World Tuberculosis Day on 24 March, VOA is presenting a 5-part series on the threat of tuberculosis (TB). Along with an overview of the resurgent danger of the disease, the series will include stories on the rise of drug-resistant TB in Africa; efforts in Hong Kong and Asia-Pacific to contain the disease; TB in Russia; and TB and immigration, particularly in the United States.  Visit our special page, "TB - The Battle Is On,"  for these and other stories.

VOA regularly produces special multimedia news series on issues of significant international interest, such as Avian Flu, terrorism, immigration, and women's issues.  Check back frequently to keep up with new topics.
