2 ConsultASK Management Consulting LLC H-1121 Budapest, Konkoly-Thege M. út 29-33. Tel.: +36-1-391-9400 FAX: +36-1-391-9409 Facts about the TB burden With 8.8 Mi new cases annually and almost 1,5 Mi deaths, TB is still a leading mortality factor TB is the leading killer of people with HIV 22 HBC (High Burden Country) countries account for 80% of the incidence Annually over USD 1 Bi was spent on TB diagnostics in 2009, and the sum is increasing TB drains 12 billion USD from the annual incomes of the poorest communities Loss of productivity attributable to TB approaches 7% of GDP in some countries In 2009 there were 9,7 million orphan children a a result of TB deaths Source WHO Nearly 4,000 people die from TB daily, a curable disease in most cases !!

Tel.: +36-1-391-9400 FAX: +36-1-391-9409 Further Facts The most commonly used sputum smear microscopy is more than 100 years old, but is the most affordable for the majority of HBC countries Traditionally executed, it is also the most ineffective, detects only little more then half of patients tested with currently used manual method, mainly due to low sensitivity, lack of well trained personel, tiring factor. Todays TB drugs are more then 40 years old and have to be taken for 6-9 months Todays TB vaccine is more than 85 years old Delay in assessing proper diagnostics costs time, money and leads to continued transmission of infectionsThere is huge need for tools that correspond to the medical need at affordable price (WHO report) Source WHO There is urgent need for more accurate and rapid diagnostic tests (WHO, FIND)
