Abstract
South Africa ranks third highest in the world in generating new cases of the highly contagious disease, Tuberculosis and is one of the 22 high TB-burden countries that constitute about 80% of global TB cases. A lack of knowledge of the disease could be a factor contributing to SA's high TB prevalence rate.-
