Indians stand outside of the TB window and waiting room at the Darbhanga Medical college in Darbhanga, Bihar, India, August 12, 2010. Tuburculosis kills about 6,000 people each day, a number that is higher than AIDS or Malaria, the other two deadliest infectious diseases. In 2010, the World Health Organization estimates there will be ten million new TB cases, with at least a quarter of those in India.
