Definitions: High Burden Countries (HBCs), TB: Twenty-two countries, most of which are in Africa and South-East Asia, that account for much of the world's TB burden (approximately 80% of new TB cases each year). HBCs are determined by the World Health Organization.

Tuberculosis: A bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The disease usually affects the lungs but can spread to other parts of the body in serious cases. An individual can become infected with TB when another person who has active TB coughs, sneezes, or spits. Not all people who become infected with TB will develop symptoms. Those who do not become ill are referred to as having latent TB and cannot spread the disease to others.
