Abstract
In the Twentieth Century, several outstanding breakthroughs towards cure and control of tuberculosis were finally found, saving millions of human lives. Due to these achievements in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, the scientific community believed that the disease would finally be eradicated. However, in 1981, a new disease, known as AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) was identified, turning into one of the major causes of the resurgence of TB.
