Developing Infectious Disease Strategies for the Developing World	2007-01-26		.txt	text/plain	4102	193	48	The neuraminidase inhibitors, oseltamivir and zanamivir, have in vitro activities against the human H5N1 isolates; however, recent data suggest that higher doses for longer periods may be required to be effective. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Ebola virus, hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, monkey pox and multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDR-TB), Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) associated coronavirus and avian influenza are examples of emerging infections. Through a discussion of avian influenza and MDR-TB, primarily, we will demonstrate the magnitude of the problems of infectious diseases in the developing world and discuss approaches that can be taken to in an attempt to monitor and contain these new threats as they emerge. In fact, a recent Cochrane review covering appropriate studies to address the problem of treating latent tuberculosis infection in people exposed to MDR-TB found there were no randomized controlled trials in the database that have assessed the effectiveness of treatment [11] .	./cache/cord-347986-ds5hm731.txt	./txt/cord-347986-ds5hm731.txt
