Is TB completely cured now have they really found?
the cure.

No, I don't think so. Although if people are treated for it early enough, I think that they're chances of surviving are pretty high. I recently tested positive on my TB test, not that that has anything to do with this of course :)

No they haven't and many people are unknowingly carriers of it.

Unfortunately there are some very resistant forms of TB, some associated with AIDS. It is possible to treat most TB but treatment is both difficult and prolonged.

Tuberculosis (TB) had been pretty much eliminated in the US around 20 years ago. Then, due to emigration into the US from countries where TB is endemic (commonly occurring) as well as a reduced effort toward identifying and treating TB cases by US public health agencies, tuberculosis cases began to increase again. Currently, tuberculosis is referred to as a re-emerging infection in the US, meaning that although the disease was decreasing at one time, it is now on the rise. Globally, there are 2 billion cases of TB annually.

There are several antibiotics that can be used to treat TB, but none that is really able to "cure" it. There are four drug regimens that are usually taken over about 9 months to completely rid the body of TB. When people abandon the regimen before the TB is completely gone, the remaining bacteria can become resistant to the antibiotics that are being taken. This results in MDR (multi-drug resistant) and possibly XDR (extensively drug resistant) strains of TB. These strains are particularly hard to kill and present a major threat in the future.

BTW, there is no immunization for tuberculosis (BCG is not an effective TB vaccine)!!!!

I heard that it was making a huge comeback in the UK after having been brought in from abroad by the influx of immigration. I could however be wrong. Just something I heard.

No. It is making a comeback due to antibiotic-resistant strains. Make sure your immunisation is up to date!
