2005年06月24日06時18分
東京都などは２３日、東京都中野区の学習塾の生徒ら５２人が結核に集団感染したと発表した。塾講師の３０代男性から感染したとみられるという。このうち２８人は発病しており、発病者数は厚生労働省が記録をまとめ始めた９３年以降３番目に多い。周囲の人に感染させる恐れがある患者はすでに入院しており、都は「感染拡大の恐れはほとんどない」としている。
都によると、男性講師から感染機会があった塾関係者は２２１人いた。５２人の感染者のうち塾の生徒が３９人。いずれも中学生以上の１０代。ほかは２０〜４０代の講師１２人と４０代の保護者１人という。
家畜の結核の蔓延を防ぐためにヒト結核ワクチン（BCG）を試験的に使用することを決定した。

Human TB vaccine tested on badgers as alternative to culling
By Harvey McGavin
10 June 2005
Badgers are to be inoculated with the tuberculosis vaccine used in humans in a trial aimed at tackling the spread of the disease in cattle, the Government announced yesterday.
The three-year £1.1m study will focus on a TB blackspot in south-west England, using the vaccine as an alternative to badger culls. The animal health minister, Ben Bradshaw, said the BCG vaccine could be an alternative solution to the problem.
The trials will start in the middle of next year . The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs is also continuing work on a vaccine for cattle.
Researchers at the University of Exeter said there could be "dire consequences" for farming in the south-west if the problem was not addressed. Cases of TB are rising by 18 per cent a year, with more than 22,000 infected cattle culled last year.
Andrew Sheppard, of the University of Exeter's Centre for Rural Research, said: "While it seems the average farmer is compensated adequately for the measurable financial losses, there are also significant effects which cannot be quantified. Many farmers say that if they continue to suffer successive cases they will consider leaving the industry."
Volunteers have begun receiving an experimental tuberculosis drug that developers hope will turn the tide against the disease, which kills 2 million people each year.（以下リンク先を）

US researchers predict that super drug-resistant forms of tuberculosis are at the tipping point of a global epidemic, and only small changes are needed to help them spread quickly.（以下リンク先を）
