●World TB: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health problem. In 2012, an estimated 8.6 millionpeople developed TB and 1.3 milliondied from the disease (including 320,000 deaths among HIV-positive people). Among these numbers in China there were 859 thousand people developed TB and 44 thousand died from the disease. In 2012, there were an estimated 2.9 million cases and 410,000 TB deaths among women, as well as an estimated 530,000 cases and 74,000deaths among children worldwide. (Source: WHO, TB Statistics)
●TB in Korea: The number of patients with new-infection of M.tuberculosisin Korea is reportedabout 35 thousand every year, and, among them, 2300 patients die. More than 50% of the middle-aged class are infected with tuberculosis. Hereupon, it is expected that more people are to be exposed to tuberculosis.
●Therefore, We launched tuberculosismolecular diagnostic reagent kit in order to keep up with increased demand of the market for accurate and immediate tuberculosis diagnosis.
