XDR TB was recently defined as a subtype of multiple-drug resistant tuberculosis.
People with XDR TB are resistant to first- and second-line drugs; their treatment options are limited and the disease often proves fatal.
Its a super strain. Nothing really works on it, so if your body cant fight it off you are fucked.
Seriously, if i was on the plane with that guy and caught TB, i would kill him before the virus did.
