_______________________________.MDR-TB is a form of tuberculosis that does not respond to standard treatment and can kill in a matterof months.常规的治疗对于MDR-TB这种结核病不起作用，而且该疾病在数月内就会导致患者死亡。 "Wherever we're looking for drug-resistant TB we're finding it in very alarming numbers. And that suggests to us that the current statistics that are being published about the prevalence of MDR-TB are really just scratching the surface of the problem," said Dr. Leslie Shanks,medical director for the group, also known as MSF.“无论我们在哪里寻找抗药性结核病，患该病的人数都令人堪忧。这一情况表明，目前所公布的关于MDR-TB肆虐的数据仅仅只是冰山一角。”无国界医生组织（也称ＭＳＦ）的医学主任Leslie Shanks如是说。MSF has been collecting data from its clinics around the world.无国界医生组织一直从其分布于世界各地的诊所中收集数据。
