Tuberculosis (TB) kills more women globally than any other single infectious disease, and more women die annually of TB than of all causes of maternal mortality combined. Women who are co-infected with TB and HIV are significantly more likely to die of TB than co- infected men. Globally, more men have TB than women. Of the estimated 9 million people who developed TB in 2013, over 60 percent were men, and nearly two thirds of the estimated 1.5 million TB deaths in 2013 were among men. In some countries, however, more women than men are detected with TB, and in countries with high HIV prevalence more women are notified with TB than men.
