The body does finish them off in a way. They wall off areas of the lung for example, making "tubercles", that contain tissue and latent bacteria. Future ill health allow these to reactivate.

A great problem is partial treatment of disease in developing countries. For example, India, Russia and China have a large amount of TB. Some patients start treatment regimes but do not complete them. The bacteria develops resistance and th
