  Keith is on location once again at the Galveston National Laboratory, University of Texas Medical Branch, to talk with Janice Endsley of the Department of Microbiology/Immunology.  Endsley studies coinfections, in particular, the common coinfection of HIV with tuberculosis.  About 30% of the world's population have latent TB and show no symptoms.  However, if they are infected with HIV, the latent TB has a very good chance of being activated.  

Aired Nov. 30, 2014.
