- Abstract
This section offers news briefs on global health. An interim review in Africa has discovered that a vaginal gel containing the drug tenofovir was no more effective than a placebo gel in HIV infection prevention in women. A report reveals that over a million people treated successfully for pulmonary tuberculosis eventually develop a fungal infection called chronic pulmonary aspergillosis. A study shows that treatment of men with a sudden painful inability to urinate differs among countries.
